Mine hasn't broken yet here, and I've taken a few wicked tumbles. Not to say I don't have 2 sets of spares just in case

Durango nuts are cheap and awesome. I use them on all my cars. Don't worry, Durango parts won't cause a Kyosho to break

anyone can go and buy a gear diff. Its not used by racers, but for the practice pros and bashers.

Why would you want a gear diff when Kyosho has the best ball diff and is pretty much idiot proof right out of the box?

I am having an issue with drive on this buggy as it feels very soft, I am running a 8.5t and a 21 pinion and the bottom end is very soft, I have run the 4.1 in the past with this motor and it has plenty of punch but it feels off in the new buggy. We tried all diff pinion sizes and theyball felt off. What is every one else running as I read some have 7.5t motors. I have new gearing coming with 30-35 pinion on a 70t spur so I hope to find a good mix with those combinations. Love the handling of the buggy but.

Slipper is tight as well as diff as we tried adjusting these as well. I just watch some of the video and all the buggies look like they are flying. It was weird as the laps felt clean and on the pace but the times were down by nearly 1 sec compared to my 4.1

Have you tried looking at Tebos setup for mod as far as gearing goes? I know two locals who run their RB6 in mod and they are just as fast if not faster then any B4.1. I will talk to them tomorrow about their setups for mod. Also what kind of battery packs are you running? Motor? Speed control? they all come into account from going from one manufacturer too another. Your dealing with a heavier car out of the box then a B4.1 so that gearing strategy goes out the Window.

I'm running a viper vtx10/nosram pure2(lrp x20) 8.5 geared at 22/76, bottom end is a bit too strong.

I assume your diff and slipper are set up correctly, so I'd be looking at your speed controller or tx.

Tebo at the Nats was running a 76/21 with a 7.5 Orion VST Pro and Orion R10Pro 160 Amp version. Just as fast as Cav and Maifield, another question. Are you running on Dirt or another type of surface? Only asking because all of the setups we have right now are for clay or blue groove dirt. Nothing yet for say carpet, or astro turf.

Agreed. If his slipper is locked in mod he has some serious issues elsewhere.

I reset my speedy while at track invade that was it, I will pull my slipper down I think and check it , funny thing we had 2 x new buggies each had the same prob on both. I have new pads coming so I might try the new pads and see if thy makes diff. This is my first slipper I have had issues with. Do the pads need to be ruffed up before installing for a bit more grip??
