All orders shipping Monday. Thank you everyone.

Had a great day racing Saturday at Hobbytown Raceway in Boardman Ohio. I still drive like it's my first time, but it was fun.
The new EZ-UP got tested out in the 30 to 40 mph wind gusts; I am impressed how well it handled it.

Other than needing a little tweak here and there it was very fun. The weather did it's best to stop them from building the new layout but they got it done! Shawn really puts on a good program. Hope to see you there soon Chris.

Hobbytown Boardman is NOT racing this weekend. Shawn wants to do a full rebuild of the track before the next race. There were many suggestions given to him by the experienced racers and thankfully Shawn aims to please. Heavy equipment problems kept the rebuild from happening this week.

All orders went out this morning, thank you everyone!

A little tip when using B-FAST Pro Lubes

Pulling back on the plunger before you try to push any lube out helps to control the amount of lube that comes out.

Those of you that are using the B-FAST Pro Diff Lube,

If you push just a small amount of lube out onto the tip of the syringe (about the size of the diff ball).
Use that bit of lube to pick the diff ball up, right on the tip of the syringe.
Place the diff ball into the pocket on the diff gear and snap into place using the syringe.

This puts just the right amount of lube on the ball and no other handling is needed.

Does the B44 set contain all you need or would you need multiple sets for the 4wd?

The R79 is one set of two (2) rings.
The DR79 is one set of two (2) rings and (12) Carbide diff balls.

One kit (DR or R) is required for each differential.

Does the associated T4 "drivers kit" #DR66 come with the carbide balls the rings and the caged thrust bearing??? if so where can i get the caged thrust bearing, my diff needs a rebuild and im really interest in the thrust bearing and trying out your kit.

just need to know what i need to order to get everything i need.

thanks alot

All Drivers’ kits (DR**) have the Diff Rings and Carbide balls only.
B-FAST tried to develop a caged thrust bearing for the AE T4/B4 to no avail. At this time B-FAST has the thrust bearing for the Losi applications only.

Do you think you guys could do some Academy diff parts (Rings, Balls, Thrust Bearing)? Also would it be possible to do a Thrust Bearing setup for the HB D4?

Thanks,

The HB D4 has the same issue as the T4/B4. To have a thrust bearing with caged balls, there needs to be enough room for the cage and the balls. Both the D4 and T4's thrust balls needed to be too small to allow for the cage. These smaller balls resulted in a bearing that did not provide enough increase in life to justify the increase in cost.

I will research the Academy parts. Which model? Many different brands share the same sizes when it comes to Diff rings and thrust bearings. If you can provide any part numbers for the rings and or sizes that will speed things up.

Thanks for your interest
