Here's the to-do list so far:
1. Refill shocks 40wt.
2. Check driveshaft screws and wheel nuts.
3. Confirm gear mesh.
4. Set ESC and steering end points.
5. Tighten all screws. Loctite on metal-to-metal.
My mentor, an old timer, suggests lip balm on metal screws into plastic. Can anyone confirm? He's very experienced.
6. Set punch (I'll start at 3).
I have the metal spur coming, but will let the stock spur burn out before replacing. I'll let the diff gears burn before getting metal as well. In general my approach is to let stock parts break before I get better stuff.
Should I check diff levels too?
Non-prep questions:
Good tire and wheel substitutes?
Does the Outcast center brace really fit in the Vorteks?
Best shocks for big sends?
Best diff weights for high speeds (bashing not speedruns)?
Will an 80C battery work well? I've heard only 100C+ keeps the ESC happy.
Note: before I get too crazy, I have a long list of aluminum parts and other upgrades to add. These are just preliminary questions for my notebook.
TIA!
