damn !
I just did two packs yesterday evening, as a first test, and even with the stock setup I think I already gain like 2 seconds a lap
Really night & day, I couldn't believe my eyes. I don't know if it's just the mid motor effect (only used rear motors up to now), or if this car is really good, but It felt like it was on rails.
I'm curious about how a perfectly set up kit would work.
some points :
- The building of this kit it is not for 1st level noobs, at least with the actual instruction manual. Not a single indication about diff or slipper settings, not a word about tuning the car, some mistakes... I'm glad I already built & fixed other kits before. not to become a gift to your 14yo nephew as a first car...
- compared to associated diffs, this one must be a lot tighter to work. when I build the diff, I tightened it like I always do for my asso kits (some resistance, but not too much), and when I did my first test it was slipping like hell. Tought it was the slipper, but no, this diff really has to be hard as... whatever.
- shock caps (top ones because of the joints, bottom ones because they're shitty) must be slightly, gently, slowly tighten, with no more force that you'd use to screw something into melted butter...
- lot of tuning options in the kit, but I don't think it's the easiest car to "maintain" (I can't find the word for "entretenir"). for example, It takes me hardly 2 minutes to get the diff off my B4. I think it could take me 7 or 8 minutes here...
- besides of that, it rocks ya mamma's asses
