Would a spool work in a low traction parking lot?

as a spool... it may break after a few runs..it takes alot of wear and abuse.... may work for low traction..haven't tried it yet... but you'll get the cornering speed of a one-way and the breaking of a diff....it's worth a try since you've got it built already.

The suspension pivot blocks.
I imagine they are angled a little because that looks cooler than a flat block of aluminum.

The ESC and RX are about 1/8" apart, with more space between the RX and servo. I guess I could relocate the RX forward closer to the servo.
Someone at the track suggested mounting the ESC on several pieces of servo tape. Never had to do this before, so I will have to try this too.
My Pro-3 with the exact same Monster Stock has been glitch free.
Thanks,

I had the same problems, so I mounted my receiver on top of my servo and the problem vanished. Since the receiver is so small it did not have an ill effects.

I have tried ProMatch batts several years ago and now they are the only batts that I run. They are also the only battery matcher, that I know off that offers a 30 day guarantee. That speaks volumes!
