At least you missed the bumper
I love it! 3+ years ago a new built vintage 10t is a shelf queen. Today, a rere 10t with parts support is being enjoyed and bashed like it's christmas of '91 all over again!!!

At least it's getting used out there and not shelfbound for eternity
Yeah, built this intending to bash it around a bit. It drives and jumps awesome, but the front arms are pretty frail if you hit anything with them. I guess that's to be expected with such an old design. The stock slipper is barking like crazy (which I also kind of expected), so I ordered a V2 for it. These were never intended for brushless, lol.
If it's making a barking sound that's probably the diff not the slipper. I'd tighten the diff a little bit and loosen the slipper.
Hmm, yeah you might be right. The slipper on these has that thin, weird, rubbery pad and so I thought it might be the source. I'll do the spin test on the diff next time it's on the stand and try to crank it down a bit. I seem to recall there wasn't much left in it, but I'll check. It kind of makes sense, as it didn't do it the first time I drove it and I forgot I"m supposed to recheck the ball diff after break-in (I'm used to gear diffs). I did tighten the slipper (there was only a little bit more I could tighten it) and it didn't really help. I didn't think to loosen it.

Heh, yeah. To be fair, that bumper did save it a few times. Just not that last time.
