no traction
 

hi i was racing at oswestry the weekend with my bj4 we and from a standing start i was wheel spinning the diffs were tight and the slipper was tight to can any recomend or think of what might be wrong:(

chears mike

explain more what you mean? do you mean the wheels kept spinning giving no traction.. or somthing was slipping when it shouldnt of?

what electronic set up are you running? possibly some crazy brushless? you may have too much power..

if not, then look at the slipper, or make sure the diffs are not overtight.. if they are solid then there wil lbe no give in the transmission at all.

please be abit more specific on the problem.. and ill do mi best to help ya!

the wheels are spinning dnt think i have over tightend the diffs they feel fine and not running brushless yet might c what happens if i turn the rate down on my transmitter
mike:)

Make sure the slipper is set to instructions in the manual. If it is to tight, it wont be slipping correctly, and giving you too much power off jumps and standing starts,

If you can, turn punch (on the ESC) or throttle response curve (on the tranny) down.

That way, the wheels will spin slower of the mark, and you'll have some more traction.

thanks will try that let u know how i go on :)

slow down your thumb, lol

or i could try that lol

Get some new tyres???

The bj has more traction than most other 4wd cars so if you are lacking make sure you have droop and the slipper is set and go through and give everything a good check to make sure it is putting the power down ok.

i didnt have a problem with tyres allthough i did tighten the slipper up alot because i thought that it was it that was causing the problem

Your wheels were spinning so you tightened the slipper???

So I hear you have to have the slipper on the BJ pretty tight and thread locked else it self adjusts during a run, however it losening itself you give more traction if anything.

thinking about it i dont know y i tightend it lol was just having a bad day lol wasnt thinking straight lol

Don't worry.

I don't think straight on a good day :D I cant read, (according to Jimmeh) and I am unable to act 'sane' ;):D
