Maybe play with your Throttle / Drag Brake / Break. When I jump, if I need the nose up, stay on the throttle. If I need the nose down a bit, I let off on the throttle and let the drag brake slow it down a bit. If I need the nose down a log, I hit the breaks. Maybe you are landing with the wheels spinning to fast, or on the breaks?

Make sure your tires aren't hitting the wheel wells too. I have Jeremy McGuigan's setup on my truck right now, which uses the EB48/EB48.2 rear shock tower, and my truck jumps great. It also jumped awesome with the recommended setup (Matt Wolter / Joe Bornhorst) and it jumped equally as well.

I am looking for a motor with good runtime for bashing on a small dirt track:
I currently have:
Tekin RX8, Hobbywing 4700, 2s packs.
I dont have the truck with me so I am not sure what the gearing is currently.

I am looking at HW 3600, 3800, 4300. They come in 3652 or 3660 sizes.
What would be a good KV and motor size.
Thanks

I couldn't seem to see it in this thread. Has anyone else had the issue of the SCT just shooting diff fluid? Ive changed it a few times and checked and it seems to keep leaking on me. What am I doing wrong?

John Wallace2

I did once. found the problem to be I had an extra washer between the two haves of the diff. No problems since. Also check the red O rings at the out drives to make sure they are not damaged. I'm extra careful to get Spur or ring gear seated correctly on to the diff case and then tighten all the screws in a hex pattern until they are all torqued evenly as best as I can get them.

rwhammond

thank you. ill take it apart and have a look. now if i can figure out why the car just suddenly stops for no reason ill be good to go

John Wallace2

Don't think anything I said would help that, unless a screw holding the diff together is loose or not seated flush and is catching on the gear box, but leakig diff fluid should not be causing the truck to stop unless the diff melts then you have bigger problems!.

rwhammond

Thanks John. I took this apart. I did not have two washers, but i think that my red O ring may have been seated weird. I also removed the old gasket and installed a new one. I tightened it down with a little more force than previous and no more leaks.
