Yeah the traffic here ebbs and flows quite a bit. I reckon the "Faster in reverse" problem is because I shaved off the back suspension stops, so there more friction going forward than in reverse. When I looked at the rear pinion gear it had melted slightly and was crooked, so I wasn't getting any drive to the rear wheels. A new Bottom deck should sort it out; I've been in touch with the shop to get a new one. At the moment I have one X running with 6 cells, a "bb can & Neos" motor, and stock electronics. The other has a FM receiver, Futaba MC230CR ESC, and 6 1/3AAA cells. I'm also running bearings all round, and Kyosho Overland Tires. It's almost as fast as my Z, though the Kawada Mid leaves them all standing...
