    It's nice to see how someone else does their builds. You definitely do things differently than I do. It's also nice to see someone who recognizes droop screws and doesn't call them ride height screws.

    I’m a big fan of running differential ( not locked up ) as the rc is really stable on my uneven roads awesome information 👍fluid is all on experience temperature of your area in the differential thinner fluids really good to learn on and increase as your skills get better love the vid 👍

    That tip about not setting your ride height with droop screws I think is super important. I had a car that wouldn’t go straight and I believe it was a drop screw that was extended way out and I ended up crooked. This changed my ride height without realizing it. Also shortening the front shock travel seems like a great idea. Thanks for your time and the pro tips you’ve just revealed! Great video

    And that's what I love about this hobby. The customization and unique builds. I'm glad you mention rake because some people don't have no idea what I be saying when I mention that. But I like the non lock diff and I'm surprised to hear thicker diff oil in the front than the rear. Seems to be a common setup in the racing world too. I swear we need to have RC tuning class 101 1st semester and 102 2nd semester 🤣💪🏾

I'm also gonna have to gear to the moon with this motor but it should stay cooler lol. Subbed ya too.

      It really depends on a few things , the distance you have to run and stop , the motor , some motors have braking than others are a couple of things,
      On this car I started at 65% but that will go up as the speed increases because I will be using more road for the pass and less for braking
