You should be happy that there are people who just want to go race/play and have the money to drop on these things, otherwise you would be stuck working in an office or some other boring job like the rest of us.
I totally get where your coming from, I deal with that every day in the software industry, but if I couldn't sell my software to those who don't know or care about it, I wouldn't have the cash to drop the $600+ I've spent just on this truck so far. I don't know about where you guys live, but I'm lucky to have a few tracks within a few hours of my house and I know those guys aren't making much if any money and are happy they get to do what they love everyday. Getting new blood/money into the hobby is a good thing, more people means more and bigger classes at the local races, more LHS's that can afford larger inventories, etc. |

I am still on my first belt, and I have had it since the first shipment.
A quick FYI for those who have ordered the ACKbar, the installation manual is posted up on http://www.rcshox.com/instructions/ackbar-installation/ Damn I love this truck! |

dumb question: how many of you guys still on your first belt and how long do you think it should last because I have been raceing on the same belt all summer outdoors and now winter race is here im thinking about changeing it out. What are your thoughts on this
I did have a sun gear start skipping so I shimmed it out and all is good again. |
shoot I've replaced mine about 2-3 times. I'm hoping I dont have a belt issue for a long time.

My diffs feel Clicky or nochy I don't know how to describe it. I can feel the individual teeth when I rotate it in my hand. Is this normal?

how i did this was on the installation of the idler gear and main gear diff all you need to do is have one facing the wrong way ie The following number sequence is how your gears should be installed in the gear case. if you don't install them right it will make a clicking noise because it won't aline where it is supposed to. ( won't be as free running as it should be) 1 top shaft in first 2 main gear diff with the flange facing in (same side as top shaft) 3 idler gear with the flange facing out (on the same side as the other gears ) this is something you might want to check and make sure you have them right __________________ |

Double shimming the outdrives definatly helps with wobbly outdrives. it doesnt take all the slop away but helps.

you dont even have to take the center chassis piece out to see that it is really flexable. just grab the shock towers and twist the truck. u will see the center chassis piece flex and bow. The exotek chassis will almost eliminate this flexability, but everyone knows that by now :sneaky:
Personally, i still think a 1 piece tub chassis, thats thicker than the stock chassis pieces, and molded with a more fiber enriched plastic would be ideal, along with molding the front and rear chassis braces out of the same fiber rich plastic. It would be stiffer than stock, and a little bit heavier, probobly like an oz, but still keep it light, which in reality is just better for racing IMO. |

The whateveness :) I am talking about happens when the diff rotates out (and inside) of the car. I can feel each tooth on the spider and sun gears. I just rebuilt the diff. |

if you are going to be at katy saturday for the turkey race, if so you can wheel mine. i will be there in full force smacking down courtney and the rest of them losi fools!! my truck is extremely fast and quick now. to me it looks more skittish than it really is, its tuned for on power and aggressive driving if you dont drive it that way its a handfull! id say its closer to Ebuggy than SC at this point. most dont like it for about 5 laps until you figure out that you cant pussy-foot around with it....GO GO GO! and thats what i didnt like about the stock setup is that you are forced to run lines instead of concentrating on traffic, if you get off line with my truck peg it and it follows wherever the front wheels are pointed, makes it great in traffic! on the vid that was more aggressive than i normally drive, but i was just proving a point!
