Cassie, if your battery is able to swing the motor over at speed (with ease) then it cannot be the battery. Also, I'm open to correction here, but does'nt the battery only deliver 12 v anyway?

It looks like you omitted to fit the stabilizer arm between the top of the diff and the body?? It will twist the axle on the springs a little without it. Has anyone left this off before and what were the findings off-road?
