It wasn't as slow as I expected. The main issue has been the diffs leaking which takes way too much time to address. I finally gave up and put regular grease in the diffs and called it a day. I run on a small, indoor, carpet track and the short wheelbase works well. The lack of spring selection has been an issue. I ended up using Losi Mini8 front springs on the front shocks in order to get the ride height down to 15mm. I have some older Losi XX springs in the rear. The combination works well but I need to get some sway bars. I haven't spent too much time on that car recently since I have been getting other vintage cars up and running for a vintage series that is being run at the track. Nobody runs 4wd on vintage day so I haven't been too enthusiastic about working on it. Most of my time has been going into my Ultima II, RC10-GTE and my Frog.
