Status: offline 		Fortunately, I found the nut before I ran it. I could only imagine what damage that could have done.

On a separate topic, I decided try a run with the shell on and it cut out suddenly after 3/4 of a tank and I couldn't get it to start. I think I had what's called Vapor Lock. It ran fine for 7-8 minutes and then it went dead all of a sudden. I'm assuming the shell caused it to get too hot, causing the vapor lock. I'll try it again without the shell tomorrow. I'm definitely going to cut out some vents for better cooling.

Status: offline 		Iv got racing this sunday and the track is in pretty bad shape so im going to try 5-5-3. I hope it goes alright cause my other 2 diffs are 30k and full lock and im too lazy to change 1 of them for just in case lol I also have 2 spare front diffs with 7k and 10k just in case also and a spare 1k for the rear. I think i should be covered if only i can get off my lazy butt and make a spare centre lol

Status: offline 		Ok, finally figured out what the prob with my ST-1 was. Remember my Throttle was getting stuck after 5 minutes of running and we thought it was either the clutch shoes or switch. Well it wasn't. I turned out to be the throttle servo. Go figure! Well I fixed it now and it's back and running excellent. Now I have one more issue. I don't like how the front tires get more traction or start spinning before the rears do. What can I do to change this? Just so that the rears get the initial grip instead of the fronts? Should I change the oil weiht to thicker in the front and thinner in the rear? it's stock right now. Let me know, thanks!

Status: offline 		The front wheels will balloon lots if you are driving on concrete or bitumen or anything with high traction. Once you take it onto some dirt they all spin pretty much the same but you definately need to change the diffs from grease to silicone oil so you have some kind of control over them. Iv got a 30k centre diff and it doesnt balloon at all so 20k should be a good medium
