Why is everybody using gear diffs all of a sudden? Is it because the WC was won with a car that had it hehe? Saw on Tebos blog that seemed like he had a factory part during the WC which he did not have in his rt6 (that got chewed up in a race with mod motors).
So I think kyosho might release a better spec part soon enough if it works well for the champ! I really would not want to put metal gears in my stock buggy so sticking with ball diffs for now.

Hi guys,
I am having issues with these hangers.
I get different toe readings from side to side whatever I do...
With stock plastic hangers I have 3 degree toe in each side.
With either both (in stock B-out configuration) or with only the front (705) or only the rear hanger (707 since I run it mm configured) I get strange readings... 2.5 degrees on one side, 2 on the other, or almost 3 on one side and 3.5 on the other.
HAs any one else seen this issue or even thought about checking? I even had the rear one replaced but also the new one gives the same side to side differences.
Has the C. that makes these for K. had a bad batch, this is not at all up to the Q standard I am getting use to from K...
BTW, my setup station is used for other brands and always shows correct, I have not had this issue ever before on any other car or brand.
To make sure I was not dreaming or doing something wrong I had a friend of mine check his car which only has the fron umw705 hanger on, same differences... Different toe readings for the left and right side there as well and for the record, he used his own setup station for measuring. So now I started to be really confused... Then I try to look at a picture of Tebos car from the WC, neo has a picture taken from above. And looking at this picture it really looks like he has two different toe's as well... might be angle of course but it sure looks like it...
If that was the case for him, the car is capable, in his hands to be World Champion even with different toe angles from side to side which is excellent of course nevertheless this issue is extremely annoying and as mentioned nothing I have experienced before...
Has anyone else experienced this with these part numbers?

I had the same problem you are having. I went back to the stock rear hanger and all is good now. My rear toe with the B out B out block was different from side to side. Measured the hanger and seems to be machined slightly off. Car drove considerable better after going back to stock hanger.

I'm pretty sure I'm having an issue with my gear diff too. It's seems fairly smooth and it doesn't leak (knock on wood) but when I punch it from a stop, the car pulls hard to the left. The axles are spin free when the dogbones aren't installed and I even replaced all the bearings in the axles and gearbox just to be sure... and it still pulls. Also weight balance seems to be fairly even... Esc in middle, receiver on right, and esc cap and power switch on left.
Any suggestions?
And by the way, its a midmotor setup with 5000 ae oil in diff.

Good call! Didn't check it out yet but I'll bet the shock mounts are too tight. Hinge pins were free and shocks freshly rebuilt... but I swapped out the retaining nuts on the upper mount and may have overtightened them. And yes the front wheels are smooth and balanced. Thanks for the quick reponse!

has anyone tried mounting the battery all the way back and the speedo in front of the battery in MM? I tried tebo's worlds set up and the back end wasn't nearly as planted as the battery behind the speedo. for clarification, you can run a shorty pack so far back it slides under the motor guard and hits the motor, but i'm not talking that far back. Just the most rearward position using both battery cradles.
I tried it today along with a 1 mm shim below the rear toe block. I'm really surprised by the results. our track gets a little slick sometimes and the mm buggy handled it well.

If the traction comes up thought you may find the car pushing due to more traction...

I thought about that as well. I trimmed my battery strap so i couldn't mount my front battery cradle far enough back to get the battery strap to lock down on the motor guard. This may be something I revisit if the track gets looser but I worry about the pendulum effect it creates.
