    I couldn't keep the tires from ballooning no matter what I tried so it would rip the bead off the aluminum rims or just come off altogether.

    Oh, aluminum rims, that's your problem Seriously, CA doesn't stick to aluminum very well. I'm guessing you were strapping the tires? We had to strap the tireson my bros car, we were lazy and used sealing tape. Worked perfectly. He blew the metal pinion apart though, so we didn't get much run time today.

    Yeah that was probably it. I had them strapped too. I never got into it enough since I had problems with the diff. It has been a few years since I touched my R/Cs.

    well, put a new clutch bell housing on and took everything apart, then re-tightened it all. motor was loose. This 1.8 is a touchy bastard. all out of tune again. i am going to go at it again.

    Doc, whole entire car is aluminum except for theshock towers. gonna upgrade front steering servo and go to a better radio. gotta get some new parts to hold the swaybars on as im missing one retainer nut. pretty sick set up tho
