i think alot of it is driver preference and track condition, as some have commented that it pushes and they want more steering, which to me, is very odd, as i am trying to dial OUT my steering! it has a TON of steering. the thing can turn on a dime, and on high speed sweepers/turns, it was oversteering for me. it wasnt a controlled drift/oversteer either. and i already had 15k in my front diff. looking at chris's setup setup sheet changes from his first sheet vs his current, it appears he is having similar issues as i was.

Well i just got back from the track!
I ran my truck on a large 1/8th scale track today and my motor got really hot.
I temped it at 155 but that was after cooling for 3 minutes. I am running a 13t pinion on an sc4x 5.5. I think the belt was slipping and I thought I had made it as tight as it gets. The handling was awesome! I think that if I can get the temp down and power to the ground(belt slipping) I will catch and pass all the local losi and durangos. if any one has some thing to help me out with the slipping of my belt that also sounds like my truck has a rev limiter I might ad please post it so any others and I can start winning on the track!

So, who here is running on a loose loamy track with big jumps? Looking for diff fluid choice info.
From what people are saying, I really wish AE did not do the partial build of the diffs etc. Leave it to the hobbyiest to build there stuff right. Anyone notice any issues on prebuilt stuff? (damaged orings, etc)

Got a chance to put mine on the track this morning. I am in love even though my set up was not perfect and needs some tweeking. I do agree that swaybars are needed but I am going to play with shock position to try to get a little less body roll untill they come out. Running a Novak 4.5 550 with the 12 tooth pinion temps after about 4 minutes were only 90° This is on a large 1/8th scale track. My session was cut short when I broke my servo when I caught a pipe. I made the mistake of using a 9402 servo with plastic gears (dumb). I had it laying around and it is super fast, just not strong. I will post how bad it is to change.

Went out last night and put 6 packs through mine. I started out with how I initially built it. I glued up some AKA Enduros to the stock wheels.
I'm running a Fantom 7.5 540 right out of the package geared 93/18 with a Tekin RS Pro and anywhere from a 5000 35c to a 5300 60c pack (which was a tight fit). First run just for 5-6 minutes motor came off at 135, ESC @ 110 and battery ambient (72*F)
I moved the battery back all of the way and ran my next pack there. Though not bad it made the truck less responsive and jumped inconsistently. I ran this pack for about 10 minutes. Motor temp was 153, ESC 118 battery still at ambient.
Next run I moved the rear shock bottoms in on arm (I built them in the outer hole as this is where I usually run my other cars/trucks) the truck started to "dump over" on corner exit (This thing really needs sway bars!) So I pulled it back in and changed back to the outer hole and stood them up to the outer hole on the tower. This run yielded a better feel but it was now bouncing off of the tires in the choppy sections.
Another pit stop, changed battery, put the shocks back to middle hole on the tower and changed rear pistons to 1.3s. When back out and by this time people started to take notice when an expert E-Buggy driver couldn't pull away from me. (He could in the sections that I wasn't going to chance breakage on
I was on the stand for about 15 minutes with a "mental patient grin" on my face. I finally pulled off and temped everything. Motor was 178, ESC was 130 and the battery @ 92. Absolutely fine for a hard 15 minute run.
The truck was a blast to drive. It's not yet perfect but time will allow for things to be dialed in.

where are you topping out down the longest straight?
Is this info in the manual? if not, would be good to add to the first page.
So, who here is running on a loose loamy track with big jumps? Looking for diff fluid choice info.
From what people are saying, I really wish AE did not do the partial build of the diffs etc. Leave it to the hobbyiest to build there stuff right. Anyone notice any issues on prebuilt stuff? (damaged orings, etc)

They are the guys that just released the "UnderWear" inner body skins.
