oh gosh!!

just now while drifting suddenly the car stop moving... can still hear the motor sound. but the gear like slipped.. thought i might have broke the gear.. upon opening up the gearbox cover, realised nothing was broke. but the two screws holding the motor to the motor mount, one of it had drop out and the other one is loose.. had the two screws tighten and put some cement glue on top of the screw from preventing it from dropping out again... dunno the glue can tahan high heat or not....

after which everything starts to spin again.. wat a relief... but at the same time also did a wire lock to hold the motor body from tilting when hard throttle. if you driving TT01, and your motor body feel loose, it mean the two screws are loose..

did a lock wire to tie down the motor body to the chassis frame

hi bro... got a question... if let's say i full throttle pick up and the rear starts to slide to one side, wat can be done? winnie told me to squeeze the whole tube of anti wear grease into the rear differential gear box. i thought this way the rear tend to slide easier?

also, can a slick tire good for drifting? my usual drifting site is mscp. the TT01D comes with slick tire for drifting anyway.. but winnie say the tire in TT01D are of harder compound, unlike the normal soft slick tire...

Hmm, starts to slide to one side like how? Might be that your drivetrain is binding on one side and looser on the other. You'd need hard rubber tyres for drifting :D

it's like no grip slide loh... actually not the rear slide la. more of lost control as the machine is like going to 360degree..

btw i just open up my rear differential box to squeeze in all my remaining AW grease. did a inspection too... no binding. all the gears are in perfect condition.

the problem more likely to cause by "no grip".

btw filling up the rear differential box with AW grease is to help the rear slide easier right?

below is my setting:
-front tire 2 degree negative camber
-front toe out
-front differential box with minimal AW grease
-rear tire zero degree camber
-rear differential box with maximum AW grease
-tire is PVC grey colour type from winnie

wat can be further improved?
