I plan on breaking in the diffs on the bench once I finish wiring. Really hope it doesn't take 45 minutes of track time for the car to start driving well. Thats almost 2 race days of track time for me.
It should not take that long to break the car in. If you squeezed the ends, that is the main thing on the front end of this car, the rest is good. Sometimes, the bearings will free up some after a certain amount of runtime due to the grease they are packed with.
