Those blocks are 3" tall. Its in real good shape. Looks like my buddies Nissan frontier. Has full lights all in it and a full bed with a opening tailgate. Looks ok on 1.55s . Think the wheel wells need to be opened a little and stuff some 1.9 swampers under it. Might have to use wideners. on my ford chassis the tires were tucked way in.

If I were you, I would reset the MMP to default settings. Perhaps your throttle curves got messed up.
Could be the MMP firmware too. If the motor is fine, the problem lies in the power delivery.
I'd start with the ESC settings and a Rebind on the TX.
No I bought a new sensor. If Skybolt only knew how easy it was, he would be kicking himself for sending it out to be done. 3 screws takes off the end cap. 3 screws frees the sensor. change bearing to the new one. put it back together.
Robert. I tried that. reset the esc to default. I have tweaked it to the point theres no reason to tweak any more. I cut the power down to 70% punch control is at 40% timing is at 0. I even turned up the drag break to 60%. still no low end control. you end up having to give it more power to get it going then it needs. Then your on the breaks trying to slow it down. I cannot get that fine low end control like you guys have. I got it to stop blowing the tires up trying to get over stuff. I don't get it. Im taking it out. Im done with it.

Before you toss it, send it my way. Perhaps I can work some voodoo on it.
Unless it's damaged physically, im sure it can be mended.

Yeah man, bring it to the next meet, I'm sure we can help out. ( I only sent it out cause I'm too damn lazy to fix it myself!!)

K guys I got good news and bad news. lol aint that always the way? So I put in the new od gears in the front axle. come to find out ,some of the issues ive been having are due to the bearing retainers being too tight. And the oillite bushings were rather beat. Causing the front axle to drag. spin it without the drive shaft hooked up and it would make 2 revs and stop. Slacked the screws off a turn and it free wheels like it should. But I also found that I have spun the lock in the diffs plastic housing. So have to take it apart for a 3rd time...lol smh.
So , I figured I better check the rear as well. Not as bad . But ,the big gear was shark finned some. Yet again ravage another part from my scx10 redo. Also reset the mesh in the trans and put the grease to it. I run the cover on it, so no chance to get rocks in there. Seemed to have quieted it down a LOT. Tomorrow I will change out the plastic piece in the front axle. Tweak the esc a little more and I think I may have tamed this roc412!!!! As warm as it is out. im running in the 100 to 110 deg area on both the esc and the motor. I wasn't being nice to it either lol. Thanks to all of you guys for your advice. I really do appreciate it. If I can get this part finished, I can get to finishing the new body panels and get them painted. New look for the old beast.

Good for you! Glad you're getting some answers.

Since building the Fuel Cell in the back for the MMP ESC I wanted to have a custom box for the RX, LED and BEC up front that resembled an engine.
You have no idea how long I spent working on this in the CAD software...
(Version 3) I printed two other CAD versions before I got to this.
The bottom hole is for added space into the oil pan.
Lexan oil pan from Speedweigand
The "Master Plan" will be to print a second one and take my time to paint it up as nice as I can with some detail; until then this will do.
I also filed down the "Level3" shock mounts to allow for the hood to be closed without chopping holes in it. I hope I can get this thing on the trail before snow flies... I'm going to run it without an interior once I get the electrical done.
