I just got the FTW Vane shell to paint. I think this is a good looking shell. Can't wait to paint it. I have to though as I am also getting a new airbrush that I want to try. I'm tired of rattle cans! I'll post a pic once I get it painted up. Lots of room for the esc as well although I think I'm going to rewire mine. I'm using a Speed Passion LPF and even though it fits, I think it will fit better if I rotate it 90 degrees. Right now my receiver plug is rubbing the body on the stock body and the Vane and putting some stress on the wires.

I'm having some trouble with the slipper tips posted earlier by Casper. Here's the text...

First, what does it mean to hold the slipper? I can hold the spur gear and right tire, but I can't grip the actual slipper plate. If I did manage to hold the slipper, I'm pretty sure the nut wouldn't be able to turn. Maybe I'm just reading this too literally?

Secondly, assuming I'm doing this adjustment right to begin with, I'm having trouble figuring out if my slipper is set correctly. I have the diff tightened to point that it's difficult to turn the left wheel without considerable force. And I have the slipper tightened right to where the slipper nut rotates when I turn the left tire using considerable force. If I tighten the slipper any more at this point the diff starts to slip instead of the slipper. That sounds right according to Casper's tips. But when I try the wheelie test, the front end of the car doesn't lift off the table. It comes close, but if the tires are coming up it's only a quarter-inch or so.

Do I just need to tighten my diff more so that I can set the slipper more tightly? I feel like my diff is already tight, but the slipper thing is throwing me off.

You might want to lower anti-squat, ex. if you are at 3 or 2.5 try 1 degree. I've made this change when my local track used to get very bumpy especially coming onto the straight and it let the suspension work more and let the car accelerate instead of just bouncing around. However after the track got rebuilt the 1 degree anti squat was useless as it wouldn't cause any mechanical bind allowing the tires to just spin and the car was very loose.

We now have a different surface so this doesnt really apply but give it a shot it should help some but only when the track is bumpy. Another thing that could help if you track is very hard packed is worn tires may work better since you will have more of a contact patch on the ground. Maybe some tire traction additive as well and make sure you're running the right tire insert.

I run Boca Bearings in all my cars and they last along time. I would reccomend some green seal bearings, those are what I run, and a couple months later and they still are smooth and look new.

I purchased the vane body and have been running it for a couple weeks now.Even though it looks like its got plenty of room its a really tight fit for my R10 pro.I definately had to do some chopping.

yeah he means hold the spur gear.Keep tightening the slipper if your wheels only come up a quarter inch but tighten in like 1/16 increments.tighten until the wheels lift up a couple inches with your short,but full bursts of throttle.

So i'm trying to decide what batteries I should get for my 22. Right now I have my 5000mah 40c gens ace and i'm wondering if I should get the 4800 25c saddle packs or 4000 30c hardcase pack since they are smaller? Thanks
