Is that a different battery strap than stock? That is a totally different truck than the ones in the other pics I think?

Some drivers use sticks, some use saddles... I guess it's up to their driving style.

Seems like they use stock A arms though.

At least they have a limitless supply of straight arms to throw on after a half dozen races.

I'll report back.
Reporting back..... The pinned slipper is nice. Really tames the truck down on accel and braking. I had a lot more confidence that the truck would go where I wanted it to.

My lap times were a little faster and maybe a little more consistent. The truck was quite a bit easier to drive and I could throw it around a little more.

I did get the win, had to come back from 4th on the grid to get it though. Had my first dnf w/ the truck in the 2nd qual. Popped off the steering link at the spindle.

Ran down a guy runnning SLash fronts and no fenders on his body. Talk about trak width...jeez.....

I did notice a not so nice sound coming from the rear trans.

ANyone do the pin mod and notice a differnce in sound?

Truck is getting louder due to age, but this getting near LOSi territory.

if you have taller pad walls, then how does pad 1 slip against pad 2? Wouldn't the taller wall just hold the two pads static?

Yes, the taller wall holds the pads static, but you throw an extra slipper plate between them like the MTK clutch basket. In essence a built in clutch basket on both sides of the spur that you can add as many or few slipper pads/plates to as you want.

Funny that we are locking the front and rear together to make the truck work and Rango puts a middle diff in theirs.
