Well it was about that time.

2 thirty minute a-mains, half dozen qualifiers, some various practice and breaking in the engine. Roughly 1.5-2 gallons down, so full first full tear down of the vehicle.

98% very good. No play, no abnormal wearing on any of the drive train, no broken/strained parts, etc. My back left bearing was starting to get crunchy (exhaust side), so I guess that doesn't surprise me in comparison to my electric which doesn't have that issue. My concern was the diff's. My SCT410 has always been perfect, I went through a few center EB48 diff's before I got one that didn't leak, and this was no different. Front was in perfect shape, rear slight leaks, middle was nearly bone dry. I replaced the seals and o-rings, did the flat sandpaper trick on the cup, and tightened it down snug but not tight. I'll break it down after the next race to see how it does. Suffering from some significant pushing and other issues, I decided to give the box stock setup a try as well, so very different from what I was running. I've heard a lot of realy good things, so we'll see. Overall, a very good start.

And I got my new bodies cut
