    Will post pics of the project.

    Status: offline     		I love the exotek chassis but its to much money, the mip ones are good, I just installed my mip ball diff a week ago and have been bashing the hell out of it and the outdrives are sooo much stronger then the losi ball diff ones, deff would recommend the mip ball diff any day

    Status: online     		i think my ESC is going out. i'll be driving the car around, and it'll just stop. then if i walk up to the car and bump it with my foot, it'll start going again. when it does just stop, the light in the esc doesnt light up when i hit the throttle. should i call horizon and see if they'll warranty it for me? i've only had the car for ~2 weeks now.

    also, what does boiling diff gears do? i'm pretty sure that i just killed my 2nd diff.

    Status: offline     		It might be your motor. I would just get a MIP Ball Diff vs. spending more $$$ on stock diffs.

    Status: offline     		if the mip cvds are made out of the same steel as the outdrives that mip makes, then I would deff buy the mip cvds, because its hardened steel rather then losi's soft steel they use

    Status: online     		i dont think its the motor. the stock esc has a little light in it when you hit the gas. it was doing nothing of the sort. now for the diff, the only reason i am keeping the stock stuff in there is because i hear that ball diffs slip pretty bad, is this correct? for some reason, i keep thinking in my head that ball diffs just dont work like a standard gear diff.
