Battery moved back 1/2" made a huge improvement to the weight balance while drifting. Smoked the 19t pinion already, the 4s metal spur is better metal so now onto a random 18T pinion. Thinking I might try some 30k rear differential fluid, really don't want to run that thick but the inner tire is unloading during donuts. I don't think 10K will be enough to make the rear swing like I want.
 
Swapped out the pinion, going to use a 18T till my replacement comes in. My spare 21T is the same brand as my dead 19T so no reason to burn it up(will use it on something with a plastic spur).

The mesh was good for a pack.

As she sits, got another hour of training to do before I can run out and play for 5 minutes.

1 Battery Pack latter. Ordered another set of tire and some 12mm Hot Racing hexs so I can try some of my other tires.

Well I stepped down from 3674 3600kv to a 3670 2850kv it was like I neutered the truck. The 3674 would cut out on the top end with the 8BL150 and a CNHL blacks series 120C 3S pack. Figured I had my fun and wasted 2 sets of tires in a week so need to tone it down. But the new motor is slow, need to order some bigger pinions.

So today was a big day. The parts chassis got a boost box and eBay part load. Got a wide arm Granite! New arms, new knuckles, new drivelines and a bunch of used parts! Ended up with 2 Chinese slipper assemblies so we will see how long they last.

The senton got some 4s Mojave bumpers, rear fits awesome, front is good enough to drive for now.
