I wish I had gotten video of that main. It was nutz, but I had fun for sure.

The canyon I had to hit it on the inside as it felt like there was a lip on the center line of the track when I would jump it. would catch air then, and of course, all she wrote.

Go a pic of this canyon jump you speak of?

I'll see what I can find. Its actually not a big jump like the table top one, but it has a part at least to me that depending on how you hit it, would cause you to nose up very bad, and with how I didn't cut the hood of the body, was a recipe for backflip city lol.

It isn't so much a jump in the traditional sense of the word. Its more like a pit three feet deep in the track with a little bit of a lip on the leading edge to get some air. Probably 2 and a half to three feet wide.

It is on the big sweeper of the track in between the tabletop and a banked corner leading onto a 150 ft back straight. Its essentially in the middle of a 3/4 oval all the way around the outside edge of the track so you hit it about as fast as your truck will go.

The day the Cain and I are talking about had 20 mph gusts that came at an angle across that part of the track from the outside of the lane to the inside...and we were jumping right into it. My MBX-6 Eco was affected by the wind that day...just a tough one for shortcourse all around.

Jeez that sounds windy.
Sounds like it is a cool feature. Interesting

You are in error if you make an assessment of the part from this experience because something was wrong if it could not make any of the jumps let alone the "simple" jumps.

Not possible with the C-Diff. Slower times? I could see that as a possibility, maybe it didn't match his driving style and he was faster with a slipper... sure, no problem.
But could not make any jump that a slipper could means it was not installed correctly or we are being told something that is not true.

Opposite for me, I started making the most difficult jump after changing to the C-Diff that I was not able to make without.

You have a poor argument as you still have not tried the part that you say does not work. Your opinion is flawed as you still have not tried the product and have not seen a good representation of it's performance.

Or as mantis said you lied... why? Don't know why you would lie about something that does not personally affect you or your finances, I dont know you and can not say if that was a lie but to say that the C-Diff made the truck not able to clear a "simple" jump just is not possible if assembled even close to correct. Even without the pins you would not have any issues clearing jumps. Maybe if the rcshox team driver forgot the balls? (left your balls at home when you came to compete? )

I know this because I reassembled after a teardown and installed the spur backwards so the pins were on the leading side, not the correct trailing side of the ball. That means that regardless of how many pins I had in it, zero were having any affect on the balls. I did notice the handling was different, but there was little to no difference on jumps.

A majority of the content here is opinion and everyone has a right to theirs, but I don't see how you can give an opinion on something that you have zero personal experience with. And you state it as a fact.

If you refuse to try a product and have no experience to base an opinion on, stop issuing opinions on it till you try it.

You say you have to steer everyone to VTS. That is not helping people on this forum as you are giving an uneducated guess. If someone says they tried C-Diff and don't like it, that is adding value to this thread because they have tried the part.

My outdoor hiflow has every vent but the rear fender squares cut out (didn't want to compromise the part that's most likely to fail). Even then it needs more venting, but it's all she's got.
My indoor hiflow has moderate venting and if I use it outdoor with any wind, there's no clearing the big jump due to the parachute effect.

Cut what you can out and reinforce with shoegoo and drywall tape to get the structural integrity back. Maybe try it on an old body till your sold on it, make it swiss cheese

Or get a Method RC hellcat

Yeah, looks like a nice shell. Thinner and lighter than most out there to offset the pound of shoegoo that I add to mine

The saddles were sitting on top of a 3mm plate I had inside the chassis, I have removed all of that now and have the saddles sitting on the Alloy, with the plastic chassis out I have lowered the battery's and ESC by 5.5mm, with all the weight down low.

Very well put, i dont know why WC has a personal vendetta against me in the first place i guess jealousy exist on different levels for different people.It is what it is though because everytime he opens his mouth my sales go up from curiosity so thank you WC , keep lying my family appreciates it!

Not bad looking, let us know how it runs at a track. And if you don't mind asking what was the total cost to do this mod and if it works out well is it something you may make and sell per request?

Mantis


I have very little interest in you or carry any disrespect for .


Before you diss me more


I only told Cain the truth & why I have not even consider using your part .


Understand he's been asking ...

more than one post in fact ...


Please note :

I never said "cheese" till now ....

Last meeting I ran I was side by side with a few Losi's, thru our six pack of jumps you could see how much better their weight advantage worked, they were planted like my E buggy, my SC10 was all over the place, I decided on the drivers stand to sort this out, now that I have the slipper set up sorted and keeping this truck I don't mind doing more work to it. Lowering the weight will work, it just has to be better in any RC car, my truck was 6.145 pounds before I started RTR, and now will be about 6.160, think it's still lighter than most. Going to scale it and try to get it 50/50 if I can. Had the 3mm Alloy in the shed from my 1.1 racing days so cost me nothing, any metal work shop would give you an off cut and easy to make it.
I'd like to know what guys trucks weigh please, RTR.
