Yeah ok, so something is wonky then!

The plastic towers will be back on tonight when I clean the car for sure.

Lemme give you a list of the bits, and see what you think.

Charger is this:

Battery is this:

Motor is this:
http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFun...n&ItemID=24588

ESC is this:
http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFun...n&ItemID=18553

All controlled by a Hitec Aggressor CRX radio setup.

I don't know how big an influence the slipper clutch will have on battery life, as I can't honestly know if it is set right or not.

Thanks for the help!

For messing about I'd keep the plastic towers on tbh - the Carbon ones might(?) be stronger in some cases, or stiffer, but a nasty knock can still damage them. I bought 4 front towers for my 501X to give you an idea.
I have crashed the Durga in such a way that would probably have cracked a carbon tower - but I'm racing with all the plastic parts on there still and it's been fine.

What charger did you use?
