that looks like WAY too much weight if your tryin to get l/r balance correct, looks like the left side would be wayy heavy. when i corner balanced mine, i only needed 1.5oz (6 squares) on the front left and the corner balancing (cross weighting) was perfect. as for the overall f/r balance, i have no idea what is ideal, but my truck handles great, so i cant complain.

I spoke too soon. After about 3 packs at wcrc it started to happen again (only it got worse as it'll glitch even when truning the wheels). Josh, guy who works there actually let me borrowed his $400 controller and receiver combo to isolate the problem. Bingo! Its the Spektrum receiver/controller/Servo that's causing the issue.
So to be 100% certain, I'm going to go with Airtronics MT4 and a Savox servo. Any well known issue with running that combo with RX8/SC4X?

with the dx3e, it wouldn't allow a castle 3800 sct system to calibrate, and it when it did it would loose the "neutral" position and reset itself.
with the dx3r, it had the same servo and motor glitching you are talking about, and no matter how many different servos or receivers he tried, nothing worked.
both radios had a bad board in the tx. it was what the tx used to find the "neutral" setting. spektrum replaced both of them with new radios. they were even nice enough to upgrade my friends dx3e to a dx3s.

I've been using the castle bullets on my battery's for 3 years, no melting. They are a little short but pass the current easy with no heat. I'm now using the TQ Racing 18mm bullets listed here, they are good also!

Okay. What in the %&#! is the deal. I have read over this forum, done the Spacer idea. Ran a 540 can motor... Ugh. Lemme just list this.
540 1410 Castle
- THREE Washer spacers, barely got up and went, screamed like a dying animal till the disks warmed up and still wasn't 'great'.
- 540 works *GREAT* in my Slash 4x4
550 1415 Castle
- bought a brand new Slipper system. Thrust bearing, washers, spring, cap, nut. etc. tightened everything up, slowly all.... the... way... down to a completely compressed spring and STILL absolutely no acceleration.
- 550 works *GREAT* in my Slash 4x4.
I've tested the motors and ESC possible suggestions by switching vehicles. *It is not the motor or ESC*
This thing spins for TEN PLUS FEET before it will go. I've fought with this for months. And honestly, i'm getting very tired of it. I understand this stupid basket thing solves that, but I find that rediculous honestly. (no offense)
Is there anything i'm missing? Brand new pads, I chopped and roughed up. new disks, scratched those up now too out of desperation. Motor is iiiiiice cold, Slipper disk is on fire.
