Hey Leonard,

6th in that sort of company isn't too bad anyway. Just to be in the same race as those guys is worth the trip from Sing.

Weird problem though. Can't help thinking it might be the outdrive moving out and not sitting in the diff splines properly. It's a common problem, affects a lot of people and isn't easy to spot.
Often it happens because the Tamiya black o-rings deteriorate and break down. Thats why I always use silcone ones instead.
Or maybe your servos got a spline issue? I can't see that it's the suspension, that doesn't magically change (for the worse) overnight.
