This is how I run my battery. I will also remove the front pad at times depending on track conditions. If I put the battery all the way back I my steering suffers and the car jumps like crap, at least for me it does!

interesting stuff about battery placement.

I run full length packs, and when I try battery back my car feels like it's broken.

I haven't tried a shorty pack yet.

Are you using the stock losi diff nut. Try the AE thrust bolt and nut. Much better IMO.

The original Losi Nut was bad. get the Gen 2 nut, nothing wrong with it ,no need to go with AE products

Thats the gear diff its less up keep, most will say performance wise it lacks but unless your on your way to becoming a factory driver and can run most of a race without wrecking than a ball diff.might be better. Imo my lap times are the same as with ball diff

thanks
Too much. That motor is about right for a 6 to 7 lb. 4x4 sc truck. Even if you are a basher you will have to de-tune it a lot for it to be drivable.

I think that motor uses a 5mm shaft. You LHS may not have 48p for a 5mm shaft on hand. I have no idea where you'd need to gear it.

do any of you lube your turnbuckles?

When I try to adjust mine they pop the ball cups off? do you lube the threads with some grease or something so you can adjust them on the car?

Yes put grease in the ballcup and run the turnbuckle all the way in and out a couple times this will work the grease in and loosen up the threads. This will make adjustments a lot easier.
