I will show you mine if you show me yours Haha. you might be correct. my experience has been that going extremely tight makes any diff feel notchy. Now you might feel my diff and say that is fine, but I might disagree. I understand the premise. you break the rings in so that a valley forms about the surface of the ball. this gives more contact area allowing for you to have a diff not slip, with less diff spring tension. My diff is currently very tight and if I give it any more, even 1/32 of a turn it quadruples in grittiness. I have it as tight as I plan to go, but it will still slip on my local track with a mod motor and a slipper that is too tight. I back flipped my car from 1/2 to full throttle on the straight with a 10.5, we have a lot of traction.

Servo issues - I tried mounting a Savox 1268 and a Hitec 7955 and both are problems. The servo link is hitting the case before the rack is anywhere near full throw. I have no spacers on the servo itself and the ballstud is almost touching the case, no way the link would fit on. What am I missing here?

Also, most pictures I've seen show the stock plastic horn, why not aluminum horns on this car?

try an oring on the servo arm ballstud. this keeps it from twisting.

I read about an o-ring, but the steering rack ballstud is the one hitting the case

Running 72-33 but not enough speed. Running that same gearing in my rear motor i could clear the doubles with ease!! Any suggestions?? A friend suggested going down on the spur to 69 and pinion to 34ish. If i went down on spur wouldnt i lose more top end yet?? I know the mm is alot heavier but it seems like a dog compared the the rm!!! Im torn between the two!! Any suggested on the 69/72 spurs?? Thanks guys and hope i can figure this out... By the way running reedy 17.5 blinky mode gen2 esc... Large outdoor 1/8 scale size track with multiple doubles and a triple.
Posted the same question in the RM thread.

Is either car the better "all-around" kit? From outdoor to indoor, high bite to low bite - is the MM better suited to changing conditons or is the RM?

If you could only have one, which one would you choose?

Thanks guys.

Talking diffs, I clean mine out and reassembly either every week or every other. I race a clean indoor track twice a week, with maybe a practice day in there. About 15-20 packs a week. Diffs need cleaned out quite often to remain smooth. I'll flip the rings around when one side grooves up and is not smooth and will replace as needed. Rings are cheap. A smooth diff is very important and mine is always that, even when tight.

Smooth shocks and diffs are your friend.

Looking at the drawing for the 1268, it looks pretty beefy. Maybe the high torque servos are a little on the large size for this car, but not sure. The high speeds seem a little sleeker. I'm guessing that's what most folks run.

I run the stock plastic horn and don't see a need for aluminum. A suspension arm will rip off the car before steering components fail.

I'll probably be grabbing a new servo this week or next. Looking at the low pro Orion Vortex or a Futaba low pro.

Did you remove the spacer under the ballstud on the servo horn?

What length sensor wire does everyone use? Im running an orion R10 and Id like to run the wire under the battery and under the motor. The wire I have now is a touch too long ad I have a lot of slack at the motor side of it.
