    Thanks for the tips! I have the full top with metal window mesh so I needed more support. I only used the pen springs in the back and barely half just enough to keep it level. The front has better travel without!

    Cool mod with the solder. I have some 1/8” lead wire. It’s a little heavier per inch.

      @@Van_City you should see the regulations in California. They have warnings on everything.
      Even my RC cars have a warning ⚠️ label 🏷 “this item contains chemicals known to the state of California that may cause cancer.” It’s crazy how much ink and time is used to print that. Almost anything I buy anymore has that. I think even the new toaster we just bought had it.

      @Van_City  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      At the time of this video I did keep the 260 motor and has been great. I have since upgraded to a 370 mainly to test a new esc I had installed.
      Here’s a link to that video with links to the upgrades I currently have linked in the description.

    I just got the MN99S and it won't even pull it's own weight up a hill if it doesn't tumble first. When it gets to a tough spot, the lights start blinking and the battery cuts out like it's too much amperage or something. Are they really that weak out of the box or did I get a lemon?

    • @Van_City
      @Van_City  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It sounds like your’s either has a bad battery or the electronics are faulty. It should definitely be more capable than what you are describing.

    It seems like the extra spring takes away the suspension travel. Is that just a preference?

    • @Van_City
      @Van_City  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If the spring is too long you will lose some suspension travel. I find 1/2 the spring length works decent without losing travel and preventing sag.
