Valkryie RC has had a complete XXX4 front diff (with nice plastic outdrives) on eBay for quite some time now for $50

Oh yeah, I had a washer under the rear suspension mount for zero anitsquat. The motor was 177 degrees with a 21 tooth pinion after the first qualifier. So I check...

What discharge rate do they use? I find I get better performance from brushed 2s lipos with a 60c discharge rate 85c. It was in the 50's for temps, so I had a small heating pad for keeping mine and my friends batteries warm. Temperature has a huge effect on lipo performance, the C rating drops seve...
