had a small issue with the front center driveshaft being pushed back into the slipper unit and getting stuck there which disengaged the front drive, is this normal and is it best to place some fuel tube or an o ring to space the shaft better between the diff and slipper outdrives, tbh im not really sure how it happened but if i can prevent it from happenening again that would be good.

apart from that the first run was very good I think I may of built the shocks over damped although the front felt good on the bench the rears felt way stiffer even though they were 100cst softer in the oil, it didnt seem to hurt the car to much but perhaps a softer set up might of generated more grip as it was very dusty and grip was at a premium.

last bit, was running boost on the esc with a 6.5 motor but when it came in down the straight the car sounded like it was slipping but not sure if it was diff or slipper clutch letting go, not sure if i should increase the total rpm in the software and reduce the boost to reduce the extreme kick it gives the car at full throttle without losing top speed, on the gearing in there without the boost it was not overly fast down the straight and would of struggled to keep up with the faster cars.

cheers jason
