You got it, there will be a lead coming from the external BEC that needs to be plugged into an open spot on your receiver.
you can plug it in the bind or the AUX slot.

I'm running 5-5-2 right now and it handles well. I would like more off power steering though. Any ideas on replacement oils to get more off power steering without sacraficing on power steering?

It was the same as the other guy that posted some pages back...demagnTized motor, overload or something...I think it had 3 things it could be and options were get rid of motor, go to easier gearing and something else. Sorry I'm not much help but paperwork isn't with me at the Ya, that's what logo I want if u can send that or have Nick send it, whatever works!

Others guys feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but I could swear uping the front diff oil would help with that, say 7-5-3 or 7-5-2

Upping the front oil helps with corner exit steering on power. The best thing I did for off power steering was remove the long chassis brace and put the stocker back on.
Changed to diff fluid 3 races ago. Just noticed a grinding noise from the rear diff during hard breaking only. Rolls great forward and back. sounds fine when under power in forward. Sounds like ring and pinion skipping but dont know why it would start doing it now? The truck is a little over 2 months old and has been raced only about 10 times, no bashing. took the rear apart but didnt see anything falling apart, loose or metal shavings anywhere. Ideas?
Cheers,
JT
The sound IS the ring and pinion gear, but the CAUSE is the bearings. Under braking the shaft on the pinion moves the gear enough to hear it meshing wrong with the ring gear. (Just had to change mine yesterday) As long as you didn't let it go too long you should only have to replace the bearings.

so should i just order the trick parts screw set?
Thanks, thinking the Bump from Nitrohouse because I can get the TLR tuning kit, RPM front bump, rear chassis gaurds, and some mod 1 pinions all together. We'll see, I kinda wanted the BCE, I have today to decide....
Bump chassis is great if you get it, great vehicle balance.. snag the long chassis brace (derlin) from them,, truck handles better with.

Did some repairs and improvements..
Installed new HA Pivot balls and new rod ends because of worn stock parts. Some of the stock pivot balls were so worn they would fall out of the rod end when removed from the truck :shock:
RPM Front Bumper. Broke the stock bumper and found a good deal on the RPM. I like it.
Got the Front Racing Spring Kit, installed the black spring.
Cut the sideguards. I cracked the left sideguard along the spot where the nerf bar attaches so I figured it was the perfect opportunity to do this mod.
Went to 35wt front and 30wt rear oils, emulsion style setup.
Next on the list, a new body (I like the Tundra Flo-Tek), rear racing spring kit and the piston kit.
I've been contemplating converting it to a 1/8 buggy TBH. Dunno why but I am lusting over eighth buggies right now...

Solutions - Reduce Load(use softer gear ratio or reduce input voltate) or change motor
So of course being a new kit i wasnt replacing the motor as it is new and my only motor at the moment and i had bought a 14T when i bought my 12mm hexes and axles so figured what the hey
And anyone can help but if i swap out axles and the 12mm hexes...are those the pins that people were talking about when using chain breaks and what not? Just didnt sound like fun...
