There is a good chance that I will be changing shits and having weekend off. That means I can try to race this year, so I just bought this.

XXX-T is what I use when the XXX-NT is on the work bench... not as fast but with reverse almost as much fun!

I really need to change my shits. They're nasty! I know I need weekends off just to deal with them!


Good looking ride. Should make for a fun summmer.
 
It came in today! It looks great, I put a battery in it just to check the electronics and everything works great! I'll take it for a run tomorrow and see how it handles.

Thanks for pointing that out Candyman LOL

I'm 99.9% sure I will change shifts, just have to get paper work from the brass.
 
I would like to change shifts too. Been on evening (3pm to 11pm) for about 10 years. Really sux this time of year staring out the doors when the weather is nice. Off most weekend though.


Congrats on the new ride. Good luck with it and changing shifts.

The shift I'm trying to go to will be Tuesday-Friday 4:30 pm-2:30 am. Right now I work Saturday-Monday 6:00 pm - 6:30 am


I just want the weekends off!
 
Damn Bro! Your shits are still gonna suck!!!!
Only thing I like about the evening shift is I can sleep in. If we are on 10's, dayshift has to come in at 5am. 12's they come in at 3am.
Don't think I could get up that early.:)

Yep, still going to suck but at least I'll have the weekend off!



As for the Losi, it sux! I have come to the conclusion that if it's an electric racer I don't want it. I gutted it and stuck it on ebay. I also decided I don't like ball diffs, I like full power on take off with a little diff action and I can't seem to get that with the ball diff. The only electric that I will mess with is my Stampede, which is about to undergo major surgery....4x4 conversion.
 
Smaxxin; try to pick up a cheap RC10T3. It's the older model, but still competetive. I have a feeling you'll like it. It has a ball diff, but it is put together with a little more thought (the losi design uses 6 cone-shaped washers for pressure on the balls, whereas the AE uses a spring). The design on the AE "Stealth" diff really hasn't changed all that much since the first edition in the original RC10T.

The RC10T3 is an extremely planted truck with the box-stock settings. Throw a set of edges and bowties on it, and the truck is setup for 99% of surfaces.

I had one a couple of years ago, I didn't like it either. I have owned a few rc's with a type of adjustable diff and didn't care for any of them.
 
That's a bummer; every single AE car I've ever owned, I've loved. Losi, on the other hand; the only one I liked was the XXT-CR Graphite Plus.
