Granite Pumpkin! why buy new when you can waste money on a ebay rescue

Battery moved back 1/2" made a huge improvement to the weight balance while drifting. Smoked the 19t pinion already, the 4s metal spur is better metal so now onto a random 18T pinion. Thinking I might try some 30k rear differential fluid, really don't want to run that thick but the inner tire is unloading during donuts. I don't think 10K will be enough to make the rear swing like I want.

Swapped out the pinion, going to use a 18T till my replacement comes in. My spare 21T is the same brand as my dead 19T so no reason to burn it up(will use it on something with a plastic spur).

The mesh was good for a pack.

As she sits, got another hour of training to do before I can run out and play for 5 minutes.

1 Battery Pack latter. Ordered another set of tire and some 12mm Hot Racing hexs so I can try some of my other tires.

Well I stepped down from 3674 3600kv to a 3670 2850kv it was like I neutered the truck. The 3674 would cut out on the top end with the 8BL150 and a CNHL blacks series 120C 3S pack. Figured I had my fun and wasted 2 sets of tires in a week so need to tone it down. But the new motor is slow, need to order some bigger pinions.

So today was a big day. The parts chassis got a boost box and eBay part load. Got a wide arm Granite! New arms, new knuckles, new drivelines and a bunch of used parts! Ended up with 2 Chinese slipper assemblies so we will see how long they last.

The senton got some 4s Mojave bumpers, rear fits awesome, front is good enough to drive for now.

Overall pretty good day, ran 4 packs through through everything. Definitely enjoying the 3s platform, just need to build a wide arm Big Rock to finish off the collection lol.

Finished off a set of tires, add some adjustable turn buckles to help the next set of tires last an little longer. Back to my 3674 3600kv motor with lower gearing, my 3670 blew a bearing after 4 packs. Going to see how long this setup lasts with the 10bl120.
