When you have the front of the car facing away from you, you should be able to hold the left rear tire and spur gear at the same time, then try and rotate the right rear tire. This should barely slip. If you do the opposite, the left tire should slip more so than the right side. On the diff hub the diff ring is keyed by the D-ring. On the diff tube side the diff ring is intended to slip on the brass washer to act as a slipper for you diff. This increases diff life immensely. We have run this setup in mod a lot and it has worked great giving greater diff life to our cars.

TECH TIP BY TODGE:
Apply some of the Team Losi thrust bearing grease on each drive pin that locates into your outdrives of your LCD and RCD. By adding grease to this area it will help free up the car. The nice thing about this is our diff design, all the grease stays contained in in the diff outdrives since everything is enclosed.

Well guys had a good outing today with the car. I put on the P-Dub and BRP lower bumper brace on there and held the car together really well. I did break one front arm due to smacking a corner in a sweeper that was sticking out. Broke out of my slump and turned the fastest lap of the day and maybe track. Car was reeally consistent. Thanks to JLand for working with me on some issues.

yay, no broken parts today! my car worked great, but the driver was just ok. i had the wierdest thing happen to me in my main. a car got bumped by another car, it bumped into mine, and my car popped a spring cup off.
whatever, there's next time. the good news is that my car handled great and the day was uber cheap.

I was intending to race mine today and was running it in practice, but it did not feel right. Rear was rather loose but thought it was my lack of new tires and a dusty track. I came home and look on here to see the info on how to do the diff and I believe that was my whole problem. I ended up just running my old car in stock.
Is anyone that is running rubber like the kit setup and if not what are you changing on it? I can't make a comment on that setup since I had other issues and really could not get a good feel for it. I do have to say this thing deffinitely has way more steering and corner speed then the last car. I believe once I get it dialed in it will be great. I really want to try it on carpet though, but have to wait for our track to reopen.
