I practiced at St-Rock (www.grcsr.com (http://www.grcsr.com)) yesterday ...

First, you can see my brother practicing his 1s Lipo 17.5 (Novak motor and SMC 25C ) and I then hit the track with my 1s Lipo 5.5 ride (Tekin motor and SMC 40C).

I went 2 laps faster than 2s Lipo 17.5 .. car was awesome ...

Sounds like you're running a thrust bearing in the diff. too? Recognize the squeal! :)

Do they squeal?

I don't use a thrust bearing in my diffs. What you hear is the rear pinks (loose car).

I've had them squeal with 17.5 2S Lipo but it wouldn't do it with a 21.5. That kinda torque is what does it from what I've heard.

Lots of bite + Natural foams = squeeling

How about that ORC T-plate??????

Nice Video!! I wish we had a track like that around here.
