testing 1, 2...1, 2

Been doing lots of testing and set up drives recently. All on grass which I've not done much of so the results to begin with were quite disappointing.

The car had no power or top end speed on any surface other then slick tarmac or indoors... I'd checked all the main locations for reason for this including the diff and spur gears and of course the slipper clutch all seemed fine. However one was not...the diff.

I'd only checked for damaged not for it being too loose, after a suggestion from an oOple forum frequenter I went back and gave the diff a good couple of turns more to tighten it up. Today's run was really quite good. The car had good off the line speed and could really travel across the ground very fast, not as fast as a brushless but might be able to keep up with some B4's and XXX's out there :)
