TITAM - Technical issues that affected me

Source:  Amazon (Canada) Fit:  Fits stock L959 once rear axle hex nuts are removed. Pros:  Chrome finish.  Pre-glued.  Foam inserts.  Car rides on middle 2/3 of tire, not edges.  Much better rear-end grip, car actually steers rather than skids out, rears stick better than fronts.  Car no longer bottoms out.  Top speed is faster, acceleration better due to improved grip.  Jumps can be more interesting since fat rears lead to interesting takeoffs. Cons:  High-speed turns may be wider since rear end doesn't skid into turns any more and fronts tend to skid sooner, leading to understeer.  Car flips more easily since rear tires grip rather than slide.  Bigger diameter means motor works slightly harder and may not last as long.  Car doesn't handle curb jumping as well: big soft rear tires tend to bounce on takeoff, flipping car end for end.  Arguably not as much fun since it is extremely hard to slide th...

Available from:  eBay Canada (seller: fopower ) Fit:  Fit stock L959 setup. Pros:  Foam inserts.  Much better rear-end grip, car actually steers rather than skids out, rears stick better than fronts.  Car no longer bottoms out.  Top speed is faster, acceleration better due to improved grip.  Jumps can be more interesting since fat rears lead to interesting takeoffs.  Good pricing, you get four instead of two. Cons:  Not pre-glued, you need to glue them.  High-speed turns may be wider since rear end doesn't skid into turns any more and fronts tend to skid sooner, leading to understeer.  Car flips more easily since rear tires grip rather than slide, and without new rear spacers the rear wheels tend to sit a little too far in.  Huge diameter means motor works harder and may not last as long.  Car hesitates frequently due to thermal overload, especially on grass.  Car doesn't handle curb jumping as well: big soft ...

In my case the unit was working fine one day, the next day it would hang on the "Gigabyte Ultradurable" BIOS splash screen. Chances are you have a broken USB device plugged in.  The BIOS attempts to enumerate the bus, gets an error code, and just sort of stops there.  Why there is no error message is beyond me. It seems to continuously retry, since if you unplug the offending USB device, it will continue as if nothing had ever happened.  You don't even need to reboot.  So, start unplugging USB devices one by one until it magically restarts, and you've found the culprit.  In my case it was a bad receiver for a Mele air mouse. 50/50 chance that Windows complained at least once about the offending device when you first installed it.  So start with the one that originally gave you driver errors just a short while ago.
