Finished up Thing earlier this week. Changed diff fluids, rebuilt the shocks, replaced c-hubs/blocks, new S652 servo/steering rack and did a good deep cleaning. I swapped out the blown surpass 3665, 3050kv motor for a surpass 3670, 2650kv with an 18t pinion. It rips beautifully and runs cooler as well. I also lowered the front shocks (mojave 6s front shocks) about 8mm, now it handles better at speed and the front is not so jacked up.
Broke another 3s cvd axle on its first run so am done with them. I’ve broken three of these axles between two pairs. The sintered metal is cheap and not up to the task. Went back to stock driveshafts and they’ve been fine for the last couple of runs so should work until I can figure out something else.
