So I drove charged the batteries after a run yesterday. They are starting off at 4.20v but are still taking almost 4900 mAh. that was after around 9 minuts of run time with a few crashes that I had to go and fix my truck.
When your saying it could be a problem with the motor, could it be the timing I have in it that could be playing a part in this whole thing? It's a reedy sonic 550 4.5 with 10 degrees of advanced timing.

Your lucky to get 9 min with that set-up ....
Bet the temps are way up there, say 190 <> 200 ?
12T max
have use the same motor before

I would expect your start voltage per pack to be about 3.8 given the amount of charge they are taking.
You can fabricate a balance plug and charge as a 2s if it makes your life easier. I can take a picture of mine and post it if you want, but I'm warning you - it looks pretty sketchy. It does work, and I charge at 20 amps.
timing is on the motor. speedo is lrp sxx tc spec v2 with 3.0 update and the following profile: 1-0-0-0.
(I don't use LRP, that setting is what Kody used here)

Sooo,
I put DE mud guards on my truck at the last race, and now that i'm going through, and cleaning my truck I've noticed that they rub on the chassis right at the inside screw that holds the guard on. Is this normal when running rpm arms?
I'm not too worried about it because its just going to wear the chassis down during the next few races and give the suspension free movement again, but i'm curious if anyone else has run into this?

RPM Arms or Stockers?

No problems with the stock arms and the DE guards.

do you have a picture of them mtd? I would definitely not mind having these then with the loose stuff I run on.

Well I put the clip spacers on the front, I already had some spacers there to eliminate downtravel but this will add a little more insurance. I ran out for the back, that might help the minor chassis slap I had. Need to get more.
Think I'm going to mess with the rx8 settings now.
Thanks for the pic Cameron, those are on my to get list.

Anyone want to tell me the best way to go about installing a new servo? Bought a roller off of a fellow member, and the task looks daunting.

The hardest part that I struggled with for a bit was making sure I did not mess with the belt much but since I have done it a few times over the last few days I think it gets easier and easier everytime
