Yeah that's due to the high KV brushless motor. I will see if LB can take a video with his video camera.

Why does it keep getting loose?! Can't put some threadlock?

It's the TA01/02 that I've had for a long while now.
The reason for the gear diff is because when BE8 & BF3 break loose, there is no more power going to the rear wheels and it's a pain especially 5 minutes after starting.
I ended up putting the same parts as the front diff and dropped it in the rear.

Is there anything other than dropping a battery in it?

I don't think diff grease and threadlock would go together too well.

if it is plastic threadlock + plastic is a BAD combo, ya, thats the problem with ball diffs, they loose setting real fast, run it some, tighten, run some more, tighten, repeat numerous times and then it may help? Also once you get the setting you like, put some CA on the threads of the set screw to hold the setting[8D]

I just had my ex-colleague ordered 2 of these touchscreen thermostats for me.. (a pretty big employee discount)

Figured that if my RC chargers are backlited, shouldn't my thermostats look at least as nice?!

Not selling the house anytime soon!! (market = bad!)
But I just want to add some bling factor!! Backlited + touchscreen!! And since it is programmable, you can argue that it saves some energy.. ha!
But yeah, good deal.. I got them for less than 1/2 of the list price due to the employee discount!! SWEET!

Yeah, I got 50%+ off... so I can in theory re-sale them.. LOL!
But nah, since I don't work there anymore, I am asking a former colleague to order it for me.. so not gonna do this often.. ha!
My old company also owns Garrett Turbo.. so I actually bought 2 turbos for a friend of mine once for his project car.. the deal was awesome.. one can really get some serious cash if I were to re-sell those!
I gave it to my friend for cost, of course.. ha! [:'(]

RE: THE LOUNGE 2
That was the nice thing about working in manufacturing - deep discounts [sm=greedy.gif]
I used to be able to get brakes (2x rotors, 2x drums,2x pads and 2x shoes) for the cost of 1 rotor at the parts store.
