Infraction First Run of Season

[Greengaunja]

So Drunken Kraton and I decided yesterday was a great day to get our builds out and maybe a good run or two.
Was looking forward to testing the new PerfectPass speed controller. King Senton was the days first casualty. Not even 5 minutes into turning it on, the front tires of a brand new, balanced set of rigid rim XM5 slicks blew out in spectacular fashion, sending the truck off road. Not some spit and polish and maybe a small strip of dust tape can't fix. I'm even wondering if I mixed front and rear differentials up and if that would have caused the blowouts

DK just finished his upgraded Infraction
So he dials in his steering and goes for his first ever real speed run. Gotta love the way Infractions smoke up tires, it was a nice start, quick off the line only to shut down after 600'. Turns out he (I'm guessing here) over amped to where it overheated to the point insulation on the wires and solder on connectors melts. He was running the 1717 1650kv with an MMX8 on 6s.

I like to add BSI IC2000 to the bead of the GRP tires. Never had a blow out (knock on wood)

I did that too..you can see it if you enlarge the third pic. LHS says I "overspinned" or exceeded max speed. Between the speed controller and the fact that the car made it maybe 50' away, I doubt their assertions. Feeling it's a power distribution issue. Especially if I mixed the diffs up.

Dang!
Does it have a center spool or diff? Having a center diff certainly could be a cause too.

I know my Kraton 6s spins the heck out of the front tires at full throttle.

That's sucks man, been there done that. Well take it apart what you need and give it another go.

What do you mean by mixed up the diffs the infraction has the same diffs front and rear unlike the Felony.

This is a 6s Senton heavily upgraded to a......I guess a SentLess. However, one diff has 500k fluid and the other has whatever 3/4-1m 1/4-20m comes to. The middle diff is straight 20m and can't be mixed up due to the spur. The Infraction above belongs to Drunken Kraton, some guy who once destroyed my first Senton speeder and since has become a great friend.

Differential..20m fluid. Thinking of maybe hitting up Scorched for a spool.

Yeah you don't want the center diff to over drive the front. I'd put a spool in there asap.
