Cub86 posted the question: Hi. I'm struggling to understand the lay down situation. I run on high bite damp smooth clay and think the conversation would help on my surface but from what I'm reading I need to buy the lay down kit tlr338004. And the dirt gear case tlr332063. But do I really need both from what I've read the dirt case is 1-2mm higher anyway and u don't use the +3mm hubs or the front pivot hrc or Hrc mod. So is the dirt lay down kit tlr332063 is all that's needed to get me a lay down set up that's suited for clay With the components and car I already have. And if I only get the dirt case is there any problems that will need to be addressed IE.. bone plunge . I do know I'll need 1mm spacers on the waterfall to clear the battery. Thanks guys really trying to get my head around this.

Franks response:
Laydown Conversion will work great by itself. You run the aluminum +3mm hubs, the diff is +3.5mm, and you run the HRC front setup. Just follow a setup sheet from tlracing.com (Frank Root).

Dirt Tranny has the diff at the same height as the standard tranny case, and works with the standard plastic hubs. Both are +/- 0mm from stock. When you run this, no need to run the HRC front mod either.

I've found the stock laydown conversion parts to work great for most tracks. The dirt tranny is a great tuning option, but definitely not 'required'.

Something I made, pretty basic. Just to give people an idea.

I am using Lunsford titanium turnbuckles on my 3.0. The part number is LNS36009. They are in stock at AMain right now, they work great.

Frank,

What happened to the Gen II Rear Hub Set (TLR234075)?

Originally, I thought they were supposed to come with both standard and +3mm axle composite bodies.

I was considering pre-ordering when I noticed the +3 bodies mysteriously disappeared from the product image?
(a google image search on the part number still shows both)https://www.google.com/search?q=TLR2..._AUIBygD&dpr=3

I was hoping to get the Gen II Hub set and use the +3mm axle composite hubs for my carpet 22 3.0. Please advise. Thanks

I saw the lunsford TB's on AMain, but I'm wanting the ballcups with it. I've broken two tlr ballcups just trying to take them off the ballstuds.

The 2.0 kits and 3.0 kits are slightly different. 3.0 uses all the same length (55mm, I think), and the 2.0 kit uses something like 2 x 56mm, 4 x 57mm. It should still work, but there may be adjustment combinations at the short end of the range that don't.

Thank You Davidka.

After further research found that they are indeed different length TB's. I will just get the lunsford TB's and see if I can find other ballcups than the TLR ones.

I have read that the TLR ballcups are a pain to get on and off. In my experience they seem to be fairly brittle?

We had a fit issue with the +3mm, and couldn't hold up the standard hubs since they come with the SCT 3.0... so we revised the replacement part and price. +3mm hubs will be out in the first part of 2017, but not exact date yet.

I actually really like the TLR ball cups, I have removed mine a few times without any issues. I have a set of pliers that I modified (so the pliers don't tear up the cups) and I grab and twist up on the cup and they come right off.

My shock shaft pliers do this job too.

I modify my ballcups by punching a 2.5 or 3 mm hole in them. That way I can move ball studs or change shims without taking the cups off.

I was using regular pliers and a microfiber towel to avoid grinding up the ballcups. I'll try my shock shaft pliers.

I haven't ever had any real trouble with any of the newer TLR ball cups. The old white ones (XXX era) used to pop off a little too easily sometimes.

Question for y'all experts
I have the 3.0 SR and am 20g under weight. Some am looking for smart hop ups, Aluminum bits that may help performance or chassis stiffness so I can add functional weight.
Car runs awesome right now so changing anything makes me paranoid I'll lose that driving sweetness,lol. But gotta make weight.

Thanks for the info.
Good to see quality control at work!
Looking forward to those +3mm composite hubs.

No need to over think it. Slap 3 (7gm/ea.) pieces of stick on weight where they won't change anything and run it! Spend the $$ on some tires.
