I don’t know what weight comes in the Omni shocks, which would be helpful, but maybe 20k-30k weight less thick than what’s in them would probably do the trick.

    Excellent video! Love the channel and truck. I got an Anycubic Vyper 3d printer about a year ago and it has completely changed how I RC. I can't recommend enough that you learn. I've been rc'ing for near 30 years now. I started with tinkercad to design parts which you can learn in about an hour, and have moved on to fusion 360 and solid works. I can now think of a part I need, design it, print it, and test it out in about an hour in most cases. Total game changer. Keep up the good work!

    Good point! I didn’t do much running in grass, but I don’t recall any temp issues. I’ve used this combo on a few different cars now and have never had a temp problem. It also has a temp cutoff for the motor and esc. It’s set to the lowest of the heat temps and it never cut off. In thick grass and a hot day, it would probably get somewhat warm. On the stock motor, I just happened to touch it by accident and I noticed how hot it was, so I didn’t think to feel it afterwards with the Hobbywing.

It's got a cheaper 3650 4300kv motor and it tends to overheat on 3s so I put a fan on it but still might change it to a 3900kv or something better. Next step is the servo 😉.

    Awesome video! As always. Massive air! 😂 With a bigger 3s battery mine went 45+ mph stock (42 with a low performance LIPO that fit in the stock tray) and 60 mph on the stock motor running the 2 stock 2s LIPOs in series. It is a HANDFULL at 60 mph on the stock tires! That stock F540 motor can be pretty quick! On a XTeam 3650 5400kv it hit 43 on 2s and 61 on 3S and 65 mph before dying violently on 4s but it was not happy spinning that fast to say the least! My runs were in a really big open area though with pre warmed LIPOs.

    Nice triple backflip and you made some distance on the stairs gap! The 2997a is starting to look pretty attractive! Glad to see the terminator isn't the only one (at this 10-12th scale) that has dogbone pin breakage. We terminator bros may need your help for solving our diffcup/axle issue. People are wrecking cvd's, dogbone pins, and diffcups wayy more than they're accustomed to. One guy mounted some Traxxas telescopic axles to completely bypass those issues. He had to deepen the bearing seat inside the hub, to allow for that mod... so I (and i bet, others) wonder if arrma may have 'compatible' axles in terms of hub/bearing spacing and size. Would you be in a position to explore that? 🤔

    @@RomanPancakes my excuse in advance for this rant. I've had droop since day 1. But i don't want to lower it to where it's basically a roadcar. I have the suspension set up for stunting, which is what the car is advertised and built to do. I don't believe the problem is solved, because Rlaarlo has said they're revising *even* the S2 parts. And they're still experimenting with hardness of their parts. This is all straight from the horse's mouth. Even if it was solely due to droop (which i doubt), it's something that the company should have tested for and addressed before they started shipping the car out. To now simply say it's our fault for using self righting as some users suggest (again, advertised, plus, plenty of users with worn diffcups dont use self righting at all) and that, for using the car as advertised (on stock power) we need upgraded parts... yeah no, that's not how you treat customers. *If* they did any inhouse testing, they would proudly show us the difference between droop/no droop and s2 parts/no s2 parts. It's not hard to setup a test bench for that. -They only reply to customers who strongly critique them, or when they want to use their media -People are still ripping pins out of their S2 dogbones/cvds, just like i have on the first pack, but no word from Rlaarlo or Edison (or warranty). So in conclusion, I'm going the telescopic axle route. They don't act like they deserve my money. I'm not sweating the 80 bucks in dogbones/cvds/diffcups, but if the standard cvd's EAT the s2 diffcups (as evidenced by users), i highly doubt it's going to perform much better. If it's the droop, i don't need either part, then the car needs different axles. At least in my mind that's how it works. Now, having to wait for youtubers like Derby City RC to test those s2 parts, adds insult to injury. Rlaarlo should have shipped out some s2 kits to youtubers so they can show us what they're like. Wonder why they didn't but i have a feeling. Thanks @derby city RC for keeping us entertained, interested and engaged! And for taking the monetary hit, showing us what none of us have seen so far; the s2 parts performance.

    Yup those cups should have been a harder metal. Like you said they apparently made a running change to the hardnesses. Most of my parts came but I have so many videos in the works I don’t know for sure when it will be done but Im pretty stoked about it so as soon as possible! Already got a majority installed but still waiting on more. 😃

    It helps delegate power between front and rear axles. Moves the power to where there is least resistance which helps the car stay better planted on the ground and helps lower shock to the drivetrain for durability. Yes I did! Always looking for more!
