RE: Need a ESC that will run lipos
If you are going to run a 3S lipo then you will definitley need a quality ESC, dont cheap out here, you will regret it big time!! I reccomend the Mamba Max for reliablilty and will handle up to 100amps so it will be all you want it to be and live through it!! I run them in all my crawlers!!

RE: NEMESIS CENTER DIFF OUTPUT CUPS
yes you do need to heat up the diffs a little to help debond the red thread loc to insure you don't strip the screw head.

RE: CEN Racing Cares
R/c nut there are no current plans for a two speed conversion for that model. Look into our NX series cars if you want on off-road car that shifts into a second gearing.

RE: GST 7.7 shifting (WOULD LIKE RESPONSE FROM CEN)
All of our cars are tested for functionality prior to leaving the factory- Of course these are hobby grade vehicles so there will need to be a tweak here and there... During proper break-in and run-in it may seem like its not functioning quite right due to the richness of your motor... factory trans settings are to mach a motor that temps at 235-240 after 5 minutes of run times. We do not false advertise and we stand 100% behind our products. Perhaps you need some more technical advice in which case I can reffer you to the head of my R&D department andrew@cenracing.com and he would be happy to help you fix your issue.

RE: I dont know what else to do anymore
Hi guys I try to help from time to time but I really am in SALES... lemme try First off if the cars is running more them 300 degrees clearly there is an air leak. Start by tightening all the screws related to the moter. Then Go back to factory settings- 3-3.5 turns out on the top end 1 turn out from flush on the bottom end. Are you running 30% fuel? If you are still having problems it must be a coupler or exhaust seal Erik "notch" Johnson Senior Account Executive Please keep in mind you can always contact us directly customerservice@cenracing.com andrew@cenracing.com (R&D specialist) Sorry n0-one has gotten back to you!

Use some blue thread-loc and don't tighten them so much... maybe this will help. Keep in mind thread lock takes 24 hours to cure properly
