I'm using also serpent drive shaft :

Thanks. There is no need for allu gearbox. Seth Holtz diff mod fixes the problem. Flanged bearing, some spacers plus shorter drive shaft works a treat. Never had a problem, even after some big sendings. I've broke shock piston, chew up composite spur and obviously cracked the body . Other than that nothing broke. It's a really good quality RC.

That looks interesting and well executed. Good idea. Who made that skid plate?

There's also alternative to T-bone wheelie bar ( which have a flaw because uses part from stock rear bumper) It's not that cheap at all but very solid and works well . Unfortunately not in UK (delivery time is quite long as well ) https://m.aliexpress.com/item/4000045437421.html?pid=808_0000_0109&spm=a2g0n.search-amp.list.4000045437421&aff_trace_key=de1d28dd0a994976abeb3d017acf2afc-1582661174366-07996-UneMJZVf&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=4144amp-Ob32BrOH9XzmV3VsPQyA5Q1582661235794&browser_id=3c63795b17844744b366ec7346e33a45&is_c=N

If you want to go "cheap" way you can try this mod:

Use smaller JST to charge battery with balance lead connected do balance port.

It looks like a JST PH 2.0. Just make sure it's the correct connector and buy some female ( or pair) of eBay and make one yourself.

I would like some, please 🙂

Blue grease from ProTek is good stuff, and very easy to apply
