did you miss the 12 pages of everyone bashing Wild Cherry because he said that was a good set up and to try and run it to fix the jumping problem.

Your using to much battery that way. I was told by someone very knowledge with Tekin that
you should always have everything turned up all the way in your radio, and regulate your power through the speedo. More so with throttle then brakes. I do fine tune my brakes with my radio.

Orion drivers have their brakes set to 65 on the speedo and then adjust on the radio. I have done the same with the new Tekin 222 software and found the braking power to still be very good more modulated when using them. Brakes on the radio turned down to 80 from 100. Drag brake 10 to 15.

I currently run a reedy 550 4.5 with my lrp tc spec v2. SUPPPPPER smooth, tons of power and torque anywhere in the power band. What size track do you run on?

oh I didn't know he was referring to this setup.
hahah yea I remember that lynch mob LOL.

I know those jumps aren't as big but look how they nice they are jumping. Notice how much of the back is cut out of Steve Hartson. I don't believe there was any wind and that does matter.

The big jumps in that vid are about the size I run on here. I do believe its how you come off the jump with throttle on or let off as you leave. Everybody that runs here when they go nose up, hit the brake the and the nose comes down. Of course these are Ofna's and Losi's though.

Drag brake?

I don't run drag brake on anything except maybe 2wd buggy, even then I don't always.

Maybe, however battery isn't an issue. A 10min main doesn't even use 50% currently.

Comparing trucks the only difference was I always lube the whole axle/retainer cover/CVD assembly every time I do maintenance. His was dry. I use that Lucas "Sticky" red grease.

Maybe there was accelerated parts wear due to lack of lubrication? Just speculating.
Yeah, I don't lube mine at all. I'll take a closer look at a new retainer and the old one and try to compare the two. Couple other guys at the track I race at have had the same problem.

I think he may be talking about Mantis center diff, along with this front hub possibly?
