Casper, do you know if this is a common problem with the gear diff and if theres a way around it? Also would you happen to know the part number to the gasget for the diff?

Kinda what I figured Casper but thought you may know for sure.
Scott , It was on the edge and very fast, got the traxxas turnbuckles on order for the weekend so that will not be an issue anymore. it was fairly easy to get through the turns, there was one 180 degree corner that it snapped on every now and then, As I mentioned we were racing on ozite carpet and that corner was on some of the old....really old stuff that had less grip. I am very interested to see how this truck runs on dirt or clay with my mid motor the way it is. we still have way too much snow on the ground to thin about that though.......LOL my track beside my garage has about a foot of snow on it here and there, what doesn't have snow has lots of water, hope to out in the dirt with this bad boy soon.

But at the same time, a truck on edge can be REALLY fast when driven well. Congrats on the great runs, bummer about the hack jobs though but glad it was a good positive experiment that showed promise. How was the truck when rotating turns? Easy to rotate in a controled manner or did it rotate more like a snap turn?

and what good does it do? how does this improve the vehicle?
IMO there is nothing wrong with the current slider design.
