Did 2nd test run today, used 81 spur and 34 pinion gears. After 5 minutes of driving, ESC and motor were still cold, so when I got back home I fitted 78/40 if it dosen`t  rain tomorrow I will post a new video. :thumbsup:

Looks like a fun car to drive.

Also has lots of traction. I've never used foams before, do they help a lot?

Definately mate.
I have 32 Shore,  30 and 44mm wide tyres on the car.  Yesterday was pretty cold I think the temperature was under 10 degress when I drove it and it stuck to the tarmac.

I have one way  for the front differential but ATM I am pretty pleased with the car, thats why I`m not messing with it.

I just need new ESC with new 3 or 4S lipos.  ^_^


Wheels were rubbing on the c-hubs, so I sanded them down abit because they were catching.
