If nothing is wrong in the tranny then your slipper is probably too tight.

I didnt even think of that. Thanks

I ran my truck with a Ballistic 550 4.5t with a 14t on a larger 8th scale track and it was great. Plenty of power and it ran pretty cool. I would like to go up to a 15t but I need to drill a whole to access the grub screw on the pinion. The 14t passed through the motor plate fine but the 15t would not. So Next trip to the track will be 15t and dual shorty packs. I think 8000mAH will be nice to have.

Just switched from the castle 1410, 3800 KV, to the tekin Pro 4, 4600. All I can say is WOW! Totaly diff truck. Now I am going to need to get the same motor for my SCTE RTR.

Adding weight. I am going to try to add some weight to my truck tomorrow and balance left to right etc. I've read some post but no one is really that specific on where to place the weights, (besides front side's of the servo) especially sense I'm still running the brick on the side of the truck. Really don't have the cash to be getting some saddle pack batteries. Purpose of this is to stop roll over in the turns. I've played with different sway bars, springs, shock weight and heights. Any advice would be helpful.

I reread your post. You never mentioned getting hit while standing off course, so I apologize for assuming something that didn't happen.

I got taken off my feet at the Encino Velodrome about ten years ago while I was running from turn two to help another car in the backstretch infield. While I was running down there, somebody else got it wrong and got me (I had my back turned). That was the last time I ever ran with traffic to help somebody, and the last time I turned my back on on coming cars. Ever.

I got yelled at on Friday for not turn marshaling somebody because they crashed in no mans land (a double with a fence on one side and another double in the opposing lane) when it wasn't safe to get the crashed car, and when I went out to marshal for the mains, I got yelled at by the same driver for attempting to stand in the infield at the start to better cover that spot because "they can't see" and later I got yelled at by the same driver because somebody crashed in my corner, and the only safe place to head to was the other straight because at least four trucks were headed down the main straight, and again, they "Couldn't see". When I went over to talk about it after the race (he won) the situation didn't get any better (I heard him call me an idiot by name). He's not new, and neither am I. And if somebody local to me wants to know who the jerk is, send me a PM or call me.

I guess I'm still a little sore about it, but I'm not putting myself in harms way for somebody's race car, toy or otherwise. Nor do I expect another turn marshal to do it. And nothing frosts me anymore than hitting a marshal while I'm on track because they aren't paying attention.

Turn marshal safety is something I absolutely take seriously.

If you are running stick packs on the RH side, 1 1/2 oz to 2 1/2 oz in the LF of the chassis (on the wall behind the servo) depending on what motor you have.

Try searching this thread, I've probably posted that info a dozen times. And you didn't ask, but adding weight is not going to help your traction roll situation.

The best solution to that situation would be to shove his radio so far up his a** that he would have to eat taco bell to steer his car.I'm mean seriously it your own fault for wrecking so he just needs to be glad that anyone got his car.I know in nitro racing if someone acts like that a thumb on the flywheel will solve the problem every time.

wow, that is pretty clever....

i had a good showing today at the track. turned 9 laps for the 1st time and ended up finishing 5ht in the A out of 15 trucks.

Easier just to flip um over and not complain .

Then you will still be having fun , being fun, instead of ruining your race because of some dweeb ...

We've had a situation like that during an official race at our track.. guy flipped his car, one of our turn marshals went to flip it back around. Another guy yelled at him to get the hell off the track (he was not even ON the track) and to stop disturbing him. Next turn, yelling guy flips his car at the same spot as the other guy before.. our turn marshal looked up to him, shrugged, told him that he was told not to disturb, and left the car on its lid. Eventually another turn marshal took pity and flipped it. Cost the guy the race, of course, but he didn't dare to whine about it cause he finally realized he was in the wrong. Mind you, our guy wasn't even racing that day, only there to help out when there weren't enough turn marshals.

Been in the shed today making an 3mm alloy plate to run under the entire chassis, wanting to lower as much weight as I can, will post pics of the new mods when done.
