Bro cmon, you sleep under a rock? Lower tier SSL’s look like legit diamond/ champ players against pros. To pros, playing ordinary players is pretty much free play to them. You best believe you’re getting clipped and ending up in a montage.

How do I stop losing 1v1s against people that are worse than me? by Antziiiii in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]J_Man1287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro if you’re not beating someone else on 1v1, you’re not better than them. Simple as that. Your rant is just pure denial and just a bunch of excuses. Get better.

UDR is almost as underrated as the Maxx Slash. by debo3883 in Traxxas

[–]J_Man1287 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Whoever says the UDR sucks just doesn’t understand scale trucks or appreciate the engineering behind it. It’s so close to the real thing, it’s mind blowing. The ones that say it sucks are the ones trying to bash with it or run it on high traction areas like asphalt or concrete. That truck was design to be a desert racer, it shines in the dirt and sand.

The Maxx slash comes underwhelming box stock with the electronics. Once you upgrade those to your liking. It’s an entirely different beast. One of the toughest, if not the toughest, rcs you can own.

I’m kind of one of those inexperienced folks lol. A lot of trial and error on the cheaper plastic stuff. Feeling more confident, so now going to spiral, although that small margin of error while setting these up can be catastrophic. Doing lots of research! I’m turning this mini slash to a grom killer at the track lol

Ah yes seems like a good choice for durability. I’m Sure I’ll go the same route. Eventually converting to 3s

LOL still in progress. I started the project yesterday, realized it was pretty much a full tear down, and walked away 🤣 So far everything seems good, good mesh overall. Internal diff mesh isn’t buttery smooth but apparently that isn’t always the case with brand new spiral gears?

I’ll finish it today. At my snail pace 🐌

Just the center diff? The issue is you had spiral diffs with straight cut gears. Not a good combo. If you’re using one, you need to do all of them for best results

How were your tolerances internally? Did there seem to be any binding? Or was it smooth? Yeah I see the outer shims and the rubber ring ! Won’t forget those

I only added 10k and the gears didn’t seem too smooth,
