A silly thing to check, make sure the hinge pin inserts are the same side to side and one didn't end up rotated while you were doing some other maintenance.

Hmm didn't check the arms I'll look tonight. Hinge pin pills are good I checked. This crazy stuff only happen to me? Lol. The car has been a tank since I got it when they first came out so no complains at all.

For those that run 2 2s lipos in series, how are you arranging them?

Make sure the chassis isn't bent too. If it is twisted, the shock tower would be leaning over to one side making the camber change with equal length links.

Honestly avoid it if you can.
I had 2x2s batteries with some foam and stuff to hold it in place but no matter after a short while with crashes and impacts one battery would slide over the over and hit the plugs... this caused the plugs to rip the case off.

After two track session like this I gave up, sold the 2x2s and got the cheap 4s 5000mah 20c from hk for the same price I sold the others and never had any problem since.

I agree.

Tried 2 2s. and had the cells on one pack dip way below my comfort level. Threw that pack out, and been 4s ever since.

I just built the front shocks, are the springs supposed to be this short? I'd have to have the collars all the way down to get any tension on them

Black,silver and white fronts are 65mm and the rest of the fronts are 70mm.

Yes, it is normal to need to crank down the shock collars for the EB48.3. The shocks are much longer now, but the springs are the same. Using the softer and shorter springs (black, gray, white) will make this even more noticeable.

Yes, that is normal. Remember, these are truggy length shocks with buggy length springs. With mine at normal ride height I only have 2-3mm of threads showing below the spring collar.

Not really. I usually set my current limited to around 70 which I think you can do without having the Hotwire programmer. Make sure the low volt cutoff is set to 4s, and that you don't have any timing added.

Is it already set to 7.4 volts or does it come set to 6 volts ?
