I finally got around to finishing up the Chunk.

I added some spacers for front and rear of the diff to make it perfectly level with the bottom of the chassis.



Next I placed everything where I thought it would work best based on pics of others setups, then cut and soldiered the wires.





Then I powered it on and linked my receiver, and calibrated the ESC and set some basic parameters with the program card.





Then I took it out for a test run. Drives nice. I found I had the hex adapters in the rear too tight pushing on the bearings causing a lot of drag, I must have over tightened the wheels. I also needed to make an adjustment to the Avid Triad slipper to keep one of the discs from rubbing the motor mount. I also made some more adjustments for setup and it runs super smooth now.




What setups are recommended?


I am currently this:

35WT oil f/r
18/72 gearing
Front 0 toe and -1.5 camber
Rear standard toe and -1 camber.

Thanks.
