I'm wondering how a aluminum center section chassis would work on our truck? Weight would be a little heavier, centered, possibly stiffer but it would still have some flex. It would be interesting to see how it would work...I'm thinking it would work pretty good . Ok machinist guys...I hope you see this post!

for your viewing pleasure. Please dont mind the driver with turrets, every track has one

How the hell do you get posts to embed video, I had the embed link but it just came up as a link

AWESOME track!

RCshox to the rescue.

you running a clutch basket?

no, stock slipper, v2 slipper was backordered will be here soon, I have it locked down and run the overdrive front pulley

with the basket I bet you'd clear the quad i heard you half way through say the truck changed that you thought the batteries shifted. i always had some kinda thoughts halfway through my races, maybe battery was dying or truck feels slow out of corners etc etc. ended up being my slipper. bought the basket and wowzers. no pad fade.

I can clear it now but its iffy with the whole parachute body, I have zero slip, but would like to try the clutch basket someday, I've heard good things, will definitely get one for indoor racing.

Besides the clutch basket and the trackstar o-rings, is there any other aftermarket items that really help this truck out?

yes there is!!

Am I looking at the pistons, slipper pads or both? Thanks.

Thanks.

BOTH!!

Is anyone using a LRP 540 motor in there 4X4? I used it when i first got it and it got to hot for me to continue using it, but i just sent it to LRP and told then to make it usable for my truck. he 540 5.5 was alot faster and seemed smoother than the 550 4.5 i use now.
