Well here we go....... Who said two heads are better than one..!!
Brace yourselves for my insanity... If it's no fun what's the point.!!

I need a driver and 3 passengers, who's up for it girls.?? Put your hands up, ooh forgot you don't have hands...!!

So this write up has gone off the rails a bit and I've no idea what order everything is in anymore..
Below are the diffs, they were all pretty low from the factory (what a surprise)
My specs are..
300K center standard LSD setup

30k front standard LSD setup

Rear 20k fully open diff setup™©, with my own concoction of shims

Shot below of the M2C extended hexes, rear mudguards, Max6 and 4092/1720kv running XT150's

My inspiration... (she'll be my driver)

My driving crew being created..

I give you the Scorched RC pit girls..!! ( you can see in the background that they've just had their hair done )

Wanted to make T-shirt cannons for them to hold, but hey it was too much like hard work, so they just wave...

Painted the body on the outside with Rust-oleum cherry pink paint, to be honest I don't care if it comes off, I'm not paying Arrma the ridiculous price for a clear body..!!

Saw someone on here mention about the body splitting where the bolts mount the body, so did a bit of research and bought some tiny m3 o-rings, but they didn't work quite right so I made these m3 rubber washers to mount the body..

Back soon with more insanity....

Let's get comfy for a photo shoot with the pit girls...

The inner workings of the Fireteam EXBB with holographic carbon chassis..!! (so hard to get picture of the colors)

Here you can see, Scorched carbon shock towers, DIY carbon center brace, DIY Kydex mudguards, Max6 4092/1720kv, battery tray is in the rearward position as people say it handles better like this..?? (we'll see)

Finally you can see the color on the chassis..!!! Check those reflections

Bring on the girls..!!!

Maiden voyage time....

We're all set, 6s, max punch and let's go.......!!!!

Well that was awesome fun..!! Don't think the girls were too pleased though..

Do you know it took me two hours to do my makeup this morning, and now I've just got a facial of grass n' mud..!!!

Well that was a blast..!!

All in all the girls enjoyed themselves... Towards the end of the run the diff started to make a horrible noise, sounded like the teeth were all broken.!!!
Got to the end of the pack so we packed up and headed home...

Later that day I decided to investigate (once grass removal was over)
I found out that to my woes the only thing wrong was that the drive cup had come loose, so much for the safe-D design as it was still spinning on the shaft..!!

For next run, I'll be moving the battery forward as all it wanted to do was wheelie all the time...

See ya next time.....

I know, I so wanted to do that, but just couldn't figure out the best way..

 

[BashingBrian]

So, rear cup fixed and battery tray moved into the forward position because the wheelies were just ridiculous, hope to get out this weekend for maiden voyage number two, also have an assortment of different tyres to try out..!!

Top to bottom: Originals, Copperhead 2's, Corally Kronos tyres, Louise Rocket 2.8's, Hoons (Felony rears)

Did you enter this for ROTM? You got my vote!

Tiny update with pics.... (still not been out to test it yet)

Moved battery to the forward position and also extended the wheelbase all in the hope of controlling the insane wheelies..!!

3mm infront, 1mm behind..

I've always wondered how much difference is made by moving the shims fore and aft..I've tried it but, never really noticed. Guess I'll never be a "racer" if I can't tell

Tbh I think on Arrma bashers it makes hardly any difference, but I know on a race buggy it will make a one hell of a difference..!!
I'm just trying anything atm to keep the front wheels on the floor

How bout nitrogen filled front tires?
Less motor perhaps?
