    Halfshaft Rubbing

    My back left halfshaft is rubbing on my chassis while at full suspension. Anyone else have this problem?

    Full compression or full droop?

    I think I noticed mine rubbing once... figured it wasn't much and it was at a point in travel that it would rarely ever happen.
    So I drove it!
    Whatever it is I just said... I could be wrong.

    Ya. When the articulation is as good as it can get, that is when it rubs.

    LVA or LVC Question

    OK. I was also wondering if there is a way to test the Summit's Stock LVC or is an LVA better?

    Drive it with an LVA set for around 3.5v.

    Which is better?
    Personal preference.

    Well, I don't have an LVA, I only have the LVC on the ESC. Do we know what the ESC LVC Setting is or what the voltage it shuts off is at?

    For me, stage one seems to be around 3.6... 3.4 for stage 2.

    So when I reach LVC it will just shut down the summit?
