the big issue is if your overfill the diff they will leak and your car push out the door.
pull all the gears out put 2mm oil in then the big gear spin outdrive. then add crosspins and gears then fill to just the top of the crosspins add the next big gear. then line up the top and the diff case screw toughter now your diff got room to expaned and not leak.

Default lipo straps

Few ?'s about the battery straps
1st how fast can you change out 2 lipos in a race and is it faster then velcro straps ?
2nd has anyone had a problem getting into a race not using velcro straps ( ROAR legal )
3rd has anyone trying to drop weight thought about taking the doors off and replace with a carbon fiber strap across lipo ? Would it help ?

The doors are very light. Probably equal to carbon fiber it would be a "pointless" thing to do just for looks. Not sure about issues with ROAR I think it has been fine. (porkchop would know)... It would take the same amount of time I think. Depends on if your better at taking velcro off or body clips. Personally the trays seem far easier..

Yes they will fit, but do you really want to spend $270+shipping on 2 packs? I'm not saying the Orion packs aren't good, but at the same time I'm not gonna spend that much money on 2 packs.

I run these and it cost me $174 with expedited shipping for 4 packs.

My first choice was the hobby king nano tech 6600's but they are out of stock. I got the Orion packs for about 40% cheaper than that if not I would have waited for the hobby king ones.

Can you run 15min on those 5600?
