I got the MTK clutch I was thinking that when jumping and being on the gas the clutch is grabbing causing the car to rotate to the right. Thats why I thought maybe the center diff would help.

Then go with a saddle conversion. That is meant to balance out the truck.

Thanks in advance!

I'm running a 14t with my Pro4 4000kv with an RX8. Yellow sway in front and Blue in rear.

I do have my current limiter set at 50%. I don't know if that helps with the MMP. I'm also running SMC 5200mah 60c saddle packs if that helps you as well.

I'll have to adjust the MMP and see what I can figure out. I do want to buy some new lipos for the truck. But thought I would try it "as is" for now and go from there. Thanks again for the help!!

i'm running 15/62 with my 4000kv, and for swaybars, you deffinatly want to run yellow in the front, and either blue or orange on the back. running the yellow on the front calms the steering down (which the truck needs)and helps with traction rolling and running a softer bar in the back gives you more on power grip in the rear end coming out of corners.

I am working on V2 of the center dif, first part is being tested today. if all goes well you will get your acceleration back
What are you changing? or is that top secret

I was thinking about putting a slipper pad between the washer ring and the slipper plate to add a little more friction between the two metal parts.

Mine did that to before going with the saddles. If you haven't already, fill the weight slots on the center chassis on the side opposite the battery to balance it out. When it happens on the track just punch the throttle while in the air to level the truck out.

does anyone know where you could buy a somewhat thin sheet of lead. Im wanting to cut a piece and mount in under my saddles to get some weight as low as possible. I think someone on here has done this a while back, but i cant remember who it was. Any feedback would be great

Pro golf shops sell rolls of thin lead for golf clubs, that might work.

Sorry ,
if your slipper grazed & heated up like you just described?

You must of set it way to loose ...
