I bought a load of stuff, you have to support local hobby shops, except hobbytown of course. I found a full line of powerline hopups there, probably sitting there for 6 years. I bought all hubs. Not only do the hubs give the car better ridgitity, but also more precision. With the plastic front hubs you can't screw down the front hub screws in all the way or they will strip. On mine, they are tighted down all the way and are as smooth as bearings. As a bonus, they make the inside wheel turn sharper.

I also converted my rotostart to deans, cause it's on all my packs.

I hope they let me in the UMT class, if they don't I don't even need to race it for people to be intimidated.


I am convinced the slipper does absolutely nothing. If it's loose it will only hinder acceleration. If you hit the ground nose first or rear first the mass of the opposite wheels (front or back) will stress the drivetrain. It doesn't even work while breaking, as that puts as much or more stress than the engine can and the brakes even bypass it completely. The only way a slipper could even work is if you rip it full throttle off a jump and keep it pegged until it lands simultaniously on all fours. A slipper can be more useless if avoid blatent throttle jamming. I was just twisting the wheels and playing with the linkage and it just hit me "wow, the slipper really doesn't do anything". However, if there was 2 slipper for the front and rear, that could help, it could even be adjusted for throttle bias. But that is out of the question, it's to complicated for a small car.
