Is there a way to use a full sized lipo on this buggy when using the mid motor configuration?

Thanks for this info, love finding a post from 2011 that's still current!

I'm new and just got my 2.0 running last night, having diff issues. I read the article and see the suggestions, but I wanted to post this anyway...

When holding the wheels and giving her some throttle, my vehicle doesn't "jump" off the ground at all-implying the diff slipper screw (nut) is too loose. However, I tighten the thing almost all the way down and nothing changes...

I see the author recommends the AE diff set as one solution to the problem, and even a spacer, but before I buy anything else I wanted to post...

Could this be something else? Maybe the actual diff screw (and not the slipper) is too loose? It's got a Gen2 R5 13.5T brushless, so should be plenty of power to get these wheels off the ground when testing for diff? I literally turned it on last night for the first time, so I haven't done much experimenting yet...

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

The diff screw not tight enough is certainly possible based on the description, first thing I would check. Leave the gear cover off, hold both wheels, and turn the large spur gear by thumb/hand. If the diff is tight enough to resist slipping the top shaft and slipper nut will not turn. If the shaft is turning the diff is slipping, which is very bad. Oh, and start off by loosening the slipper some to prevent diff damage, work up easy to tight enough settings. Should be fairly difficult to turn the spur gear/slipper as a starting point. Recheck after a bit of running, as the diff will break in some, or do a bench break in.

And take some time doing the slipper checks with the throttle. It's very easy to overheat the slipper and not get a consistent setting if doing many checks without cooling off time. Quickly stab the throttle, don't hold it.

P.S. Once this issue is taken care of, going forward please use the existing thread for the 22 2.0:
