Facts:
you are not right on the gearing
you are not right on ride height
you are not right on the pistons
you obviously only know one pro that runs in his own living room
you ARE making yourself look even worse with every post
The more you type the more i sell!

Just noticed this the other day. Thought that I should shim the bracket out about 2mm to get the belt to ride in the center of the tensioner puly.
No, always lined up, thats odd.
Bearing is good in the tensioner Wheel?

I will double check the bearing but I think it's good though.

high bite track = more pins

If you come out or go around high speed corners and the rear comes around try taking out some pins. Always tune for the majority of the track. The center diff will make the truck easier to drive but will not fix a set-up that is off or the wrong tires for the track.

I had the same prob, I got excited to install all my goodies and messed up the grease.I'm sure Marcus will review the setup with you. If you have any other question I'll do my best. Good luck.

funny..so 24mm ride height is "not right" (i run Kody's indoor set-up)
So Mayfield & Cavalier are both wrong on the gearing 13/62 for a 550 4.5
once again its your opinion on the pistons..
The gearing & ride height are taken off the set up sheets, so i have no idea where in the F you came up with "you obviously only know one pro that runs in his own living room"..
once again i am providing proof of what im saying and your talking sh*t so whatever marcus....

Oasis, what crawled up your azz and died? I have been racing r/c for over 20 years. I've seen the good and bad. The 2 stage pistons DO work. They just don't work for everybody in every situation. Nothing does. They do exactly as advertised. The center diff does EXACTLY as advertised. If it weren't for those two upgrades, I would have dumped this poorly-engineered pile a long time ago. I ran right with a well- driven Losi I today on a blown out track. The only limitations I have are age, and worsening eyesight. The truck is pretty good now, but I am looking forward to the Mugen.

good for you..on the 20 years..and just an FYI..I've NEVER said anything about the center diff..if fact I'm actually SORRY i bought one seeing just how big of a ..
I will form my opinion on it when i use it..I have asked about the best area to use it..but have never had marcus answer..
i had "questions" on the pistons..being the correct size, emailed marcus about it and have been given BS over it it ever since..poor service..so this is the last time i will ever buy his products..
