Gotta say that this truck is ok but nothing close to awesome in my opinion.
1. No need to set drag brake. The drivetrain has it built in.
the belt wears in just like any other belt and at that point there is very little drag
2. Working on this truck is a total nitemare. I can handle it but if you need to change most of anything at the track, it would be awful. As a secondary class, it could be a bit easier.
Thats what everyone thinks when they first got the truck, me included, i can get to any of the difs in less than 5minutes, its really simple once you get used to it
3. To many slipper adjustments. For performance, you tune with fluid, not pads and springs. The VTS made a great improvement but gesh.
the Slipper is a huge pain i agree, which is why i designed a center dif!!
4. I'm not a fan boy nor will I jump up and down for any vehicle made but I gotta wonder what in the samuel hell the designer was thinking on this one.

She seems to drive pretty well and I have been enjoying the results from it but I can see an easier way to build a corr truck.

No metal in my diff and near excessive wear that I could see. The .5mm shim fit fine. Maybe a tad tight. I think .4mm is probably the sweet spot. but the .5mm went in easy mode. No binding that I could see and the front wheels spun free without the belt attached. I am not motivated to do the rear diff tonight, I will do it when I change the diff fluid, lol.
Read above!!
