Ruffy, are you using power tools? I've had no issues with any screw heads yet *knock on wood*. Though I haven't fired up the power screwdriver yet.. fingers are worn out with these threads!

Our LHS hasn't had any ballstuds to buy yet, so yeah if you can find them buy them longer, add also a metal 1mm washer to the front side to protect the plastic part as well, then a locknut to the backside as mentioned...if you can find longer ballstuds to buy!
I've been looking for ballstuds and waiting for them from my LHS as some of my ballstuds (4 of them) have stripped out the hex on the top in less than 3 or 4 times removing them to make adjustments. They seem to be made of a "soft" alloy, or at least the secondary operation to make the hex may have left them soft in this area.

I always sand my diff rings. I find it gives me a more consistent diff action and smoother diff as well.

- Screw/Bearing break down
- BB spring guide
- "Tips and Tricks" section (e.g. the use of a setscrew and nut on the front axles, which was posted earlier)
- "Available Hop-ups" section
- "Body Compatibility" section
- "B4 parts cross-compatibility" section
- Turnbuckle how-to (a video maybe?)
I'm sure another will mention something I missed. If you have enough time to put together videos, you have enough time to update the thread.
A good example is littlevette's bmax thread. I understand you have a lot of information on facebook's rc10b5 group, it would be beneficial to cross post things here.

Showing how fast battery technology improves, that same #628 battery is now part of the WolfPack range as a sport pack #739.

Save your breath ring sanders.
I never once needed to sand .
Know of no one that is good that sands as well.
Use what works for you.
I still won't need to sand the rings because they come flat, polished & smooth out of the bag.

Nope, you are flat out wrong. I've put every ring I've ever installed in a diff on a granite surface plate, (I work in the quality department of an aerospace based machine shop...stuff like this is my bread/butter) and not a single one of them was flat within .005 (some upwards of .020) and Razz is 100% right the rings are punched out with a punch press. One side is rounded because of that (being forced through a die...put the rings on an optical comparator and it's plain as day) The only way to achieve a flat ring is to machine/grind/polish them. If you aren't doing that...your rings are NOT flat. This is due to the way they are manufactured...nothing more, nothing less. Please don't spew your opinions as facts. Same with your claim of flat spotting carbide balls. That's just BS. The balls have a higher rockwell rating than the rings do, the carbide balls will cut through the rings long before the rings flat spot the balls.
