Well I suffered the dreaded front axle coming off during the main. I even had threadlock on it. I think it's time for the clamping front hexes once they're back in stock. I'm tempted to red threadlock a long setscrew in the axle and use a M3 nut to secure, similar to the JC front axles for the B4.

Thats a pretty good idea, then you could add a couple shims and take up any excess play if needed.

Works like a charm!! Just make sure everything is clean and no Loctite gets on the bearings and u wont have any issues.

Running 17.5, and tried a 69t spur -- LOVED it. Seemed to improve steering/handling a bit (motor slightly forward?). 69T/32T on our tight track

I wanted to run stock once my b5 comes in so I was wondering what are a few good choices? I wanted to get the revtech high torque but it isn't in stock everywhere I looked, so I was thinking maybe the Schuurspeed extreme spec or Reedy Mach 2?
