Even you mantis your two stage pistons are the exact same as the rpm two stage that have been out for years.But still Billy gets flamed. Do we not live in a capitalistic society?I have been self employed for 18 years and seen the good and bad of business. Yes it sucks to have (ideas, thoughts, and or jobs) quote, unquote TAKEN. But my opinion is this is business 101 , who can make the best product,for the best price , and give the best service.

I've torn through everything and I THINK it's the clutch basket and cover. I know i saw it somewhere but haven't been able to find it. How are you guys modifying the cover so that the basket isn't rubbing? I tried a heat gun and that started to melt it instead. Boil? For tightness (not running pinned), the nut even with the top shaft, tighter or looser? This is the MTN version, not an imitator :D

ASAP, you will sell a lot of them. I've had mine done for about two months, it really helped make the truck easier to drive.

+1 and look into make a non adjustable one (center hole) :)

Sounds like you lost a sensor board or wire to me...

Yes, there are heavy scratches and such on the inside of the cover. Completely new electronics (minus servo) shows it isn't that. It is a physical binding, I can feel it when it is "stuck" and I turn the wheels. I have torn it down, and this is the only binding/rubbing I can find.

So back to the question, how are people modifying the cover and how tight do you have it tightened down?

run it without the cover?!?

Which motor? I was posting the same issue a couple pages back.

Not that it matters as far as I can tell, but 540 ballistic 7.5 and 550 ballistic 4.5.

Plan to, unfortunately it's dark. I ran it for 2-3 minutes and notice new deeper scratches before posting...... which is why I'm asking how people are modifying it and how tight they have it.

Yea, exact same problem I have with my 550 Ballistic 4.5. Don't be like me and tear apart your drivetrain looking for the snag, it's something messed up with the motor. Have you been though any water puddles lately? this happend to me after ridding on a moist track. I'm going to try and get store credit for it or at least get a replacement, but got a Pro4 4000kv on the way to replace it.
