Took it out today, started up in ONE pull. Anyway, 4th tank out I nailed a snow bank at WOT and did a frop flip and landed on all 4 wheels.
Don't get Traxxas 3.8 "revo size" sporttraxxs tires for running on pavement, they wear VERY fast, espically compared to the maxx size sportraxx tires.
ps. my brakes STILL suck.

Did you mean to hit the snow bank?
My breaks are terrible also. Better than when I had 2wd, but I am going to go with the double brake mod. Do you know how much you have to cut that little thing that pushes against the caliper?

I heard doubling up the calipers can improve braking also, by getting rid of the flex. I might do that.

I am talking about adding another break pad. I don't want to spend another 6 bucks for a carbon fiber one, so I am just going to get the stocker and some new pads.

I know, I was just giving you a second option.
