I took this thing out like 4 times in a row, thats how I know I love it! I have so many rigs that I almost never take out the samething back to back unless I'm trying to fix something and struggling.

That truck has been there for days and I'm so triggered by it lol. I never cared about people parking on the road until I got into rc's!! I don't need more stuff to potentially run into!

Awesome rig!

Don't know how you keep up with so many rigs. I only have 3 bashers and 2 crawlers and feels like more than I know what to do with sometimes!

I definitely get overwhelmed man. I swear it feels like every time I bring a rig out I notice some questionable bearings but it's so much to keep up with

I feel that too.. trying to remember what oil is in the shocks, diffs, ect..then there's bearings, gears..32/48/64p, mod1, mod.8...
A smarter fella than I might keep a log of these things..me..

Man you are 100% right. I hardly remember any of that stuff though I do keep a log of a couple things It's not as detailed as it should be. I completely forget what mods I've done to rigs. Like if I change shock springs on a rig for example. Things like pinion/spur/motor kv/ ring gear and input pinion size I have in a log.

I'ma start keeping track of fluids at least.. the gearing is easy enough for me, I rarely change more than pinion sizes. Shock oil is where I always faulter. Just last weekend my brother and I had an epic track session between his Talion EXB on 6s vs my Tekno MT48 on 4s. We get stupid! Neither wants to give an inch,lol. At times it resembles nascar dicing it up on a road course..well, apparently I took a direct hit to a front shock. Plastic cap jumped a couple threads and started dumping shock oil all over itself.. I cleaned things up and did reassemble but had no idea what weight fluid I had in there.. thankfully it was fresh this season and "Losi color coded" ah, 50wt! I know the shock cap is now on borrowed time tho..

What oil do you have in your diffs in the Rovan?

I think you would get more stability with a thinner oil in the rear diff. You would get more traction in corners and better steering into corners. Seems the rear comes around by just a minimal increase in throttle. And that points to the oil beeing to thick.

At the same time a thicker oil in front to get more stability when braking while cornering. And you would have more stability coming out of a corner under power. You might even want to go quite a bit thinner in the center to get the oversteering effect down. Should make the car a lot more manageable But keep an eye on center diff temp if you go down. And then increase the center oil to your like once the car is more stable. Right now I'd be scared to drive it. Too afraid for it to break out during acceleration. Shock oil right now I would not touch. That's fine tuning.

Anyway that's what I would do. I might be wrong on all or some of this. Best always to just change one oil and the drive to see what effect it has. That does take some more time but is worth it.
Awesome car!
