I have no friends, ask cameron

Coyote & Cameron live in Oregum

i live in Tacoma , armpit of Washington state....



Coyote , Great news , glad to hear you will be attending..

Got it! Lol I'm sure you have one friend

The truck works better overall when you have some kind of diff action going on between the F/R diffs. Pinned is not the way to go...it was just a bandaid. You would be better off going with Marcus's center ball diff in my opinion.

Ahhhhh,
Well wouldn't ya know it, this has all come about since I installed the FT shocks without boots can't believe I didn't think of this.
Thanks for the tips guys, I'll need to compensate the up travel with limiters now that I have no boots.
I'm assuming the limiters clip to the shock shaft under the rubber ring??

Also, since upgrading my ESC motor to the RX8 Pro 4 4000kV, I've killed 2 batteries, melted the bullet socket on the positive termianls.
My C ratings are obviously not accurate? Gens Ace 5000mAh 40C & Turnigy Nanotechs.....
Any suggestions of batteries?

Everyone's help is much appreciated.

I race with Cherry at big Northwest events. One thing we have in common is we love our AE stuff. It's always good to have another fast racer at the track to help with set-ups. We both have the same goal of putting AE on top.

I may be joining you guys in the PNW in the near future.

Hope I can still get my nitro fix!

as in Moving here?

Probably Seattle. But to me, Portland is close.

After living in Texas for 12 years, everything is close! lol

I'm driving 10hrs to go race this coming weekend.

Ah. Well welcome to the FLOOD LANDS.

Yes, use those clip on limiters.

As for the bullet sockets, you need to get rid of the bird cage style male bullets and use the Castle style bullets. They have much less resistance than the bird cage style. The resistance is is causing the melt down.

Any good lipo rated 50C or better should be fine. I would also suggest using at least 70% current limiting in the RX8 to keep things happy. You won't notice any issues with punch out of the hole but your electronics will run cooler and last longer.

Thanks heaps
Will invest in the Castle connectors, and some new batteries. Maybe it's time to experience the saddle setup.
What size batteries are recommended for the saddle setup, mAh, brand etc? I've never seen a saddle pack before, but I'm loving the good things I've been reading here in regards to the effect the saddle setup has on the truck.

PS: My ball diff arrived today, cheers Marcus, awesome service!!!

With the Tekin RX8 and Pro 4 you definitely need to run your current limiter between 50-75 percent if you don't have batteries of at least 50c.

I grew up on the Gulf Coast, ya'll don't know what rain is! lol

anyone got any tips to get the diffs to stop leaking?
seems like every 3 races nights after rebuild diff are dry and
upon dissassembly all the oil is in the case and barely in the diff case.

I did try green slime on the orings but it has not helped.

anyone try just running grease should I change diff bearings
because outdrives wobble like crazy....
