Maybe a reset of the ESC is needed, will try that and see if it makes a difference.

Turnigy nanotech 3S 5000mah 35-70C, all I want to know is what C rating people recommend.

Yes stock brushless setup

Apologies if this has been covered, took the firestorm out yesterday and both turnigy 3S lipos ended up hot and puffed up looking like there were about to burst. Time to get new lipos I think. Any recommendations? What discharge rating? Think the ones I have are 35-70c.

Anybody used these off the Himoto Spino? Apparently they are virtually identical to the maverick ION? https://www.asiatees.com/display?Himoto-Spino-Parts-Hop-Ups-Upgrades&brand=Himoto&model=Spino&id=62769&pid=1

Is there any metal diffs available for the Maverick ion (DT) part MV28016, or metal Diff cups that I can replace the stock part with? All it takes is a stone to get inside the wheel and the Diff cups snap, at £20 a pop for a complete it's not cheap. TIA

I've had mine fail to reverse but go forward only.. I reset the ESC to factory defaults which sorted it.. Worth a try but probably useless as you seem to have a bad connection with your wires..

I'd try two ways of repairing that.. Solder pin in the hole, you would need to drill a tiny hole to insert it.. Or screw in a threaded ferrel in the hole, then fill full of solder and insert the wire..

Cheers Guys...

These..?http://www.modelsport.co.uk/index.php?product_id=372328&gclid=Cj0KEQjwgoKqBRDt_IfLr8y1iMUBEiQA8Ua7Xf6nBewnkh5QFLtt13LfKXK4UVIqxeaQYYZy_crDqIsaAl7_8P8HAQ

What's RPM? Apart from revs per minute.. Lol

I got a nut on the suspension tower...sorted Doh!!! Not for long! Drove it into a wire fence and got it jammed in The front suspension arm also came off where the pin goes through, indicated by the red arrow. Where the pin is pointing but on the other side you cant see, theres a split in the end. Are these meant to be like this? or should they be solid so that they don't pop of the pin? hope that makes sense..

OK fair point.. Can you remind me of the length of the uprated springs please? Was it 90mm?

Thanks for the advice and heads up on ebay. What's the verdict on a aluminium shock tower?

Looks like a new shock tower then.. Have model sport got any longer shock springs, you guys can recommend? The stock ones seem a bit weak and as many people state on the short side.. Thanks..
