Great looking frog Scot!
What chassis is that Tamiyadan?

The few times I ran my trackmaster transmission (RC10 version) I had no problem with the diff loosening up. It did slip a little more than I liked though and if I titghtened it up it acted more as a solid axle than diff. Does anyone know if an A&L lethal weapon slipper will work on those?
