Street test today.
Street test today started off rough, but ended well! 1. didn't realize there is a "display" mode, and a "tx" mode on my 4pl. I had it on the "display" mode, and I was wondering why my Tx wasn't communicating with the Rx. Idiot mistake #1. 2. As soon as I began pulling the trigger, the car stopped dead and I hear some r...attling. It was the front drive shaft. It came off because the set screw wasn't tight. The bearing from the front diff was about 10 feet away on the road. Once I got THAT fixed - - - very successful street test (with the street tires). I was drifting this thing! Drifting.... It didn't have a high top speed comparable to my E-revo VXL; but the take off was smooth and driving the same. I think it's going to be a force to be reckon with on the track this year!
The body does interfere with the steering linkage. Just need to take a snip off. This week will be more testing in a few rougher conditions to see what else I can shake loose.
