I can't really give anyone any tips or tricks because I don't have any, just assembled the diffs as per the instructions and never had a problem. At one point with my Pro 4 I was running Schumacher mini pins on carpet which gave mega traction, still no breakage.

What do you think ? Is this possible ? Please help to understand.

I use 59mm tires. I'm planning to go to 25/108 but I need a major grinding work on the motor support. Does anybody have a picture and let me know how to do it?

here is a pic , i grind a little bit ata time to keep the original shape around the motor, i took off around 2mm to 2 1/2 mm or so i was able to move the motor closer , i can go down to a 24 pinion ( 64pitch)
then i made the motor screw holes a little longer to be able to move the motor further back, i have a 25 pinion now and i can still move it back a little more.
on my asphalt car i just run a 110 spur and i dont need to grind any material out.but the spur sticks out of the bottom of the chassis about .5mm but i dont want to take that chance on carpet.

A lot of people do a similar job on their cars, makes for a very nice finish. If you have got the time, take the effort, the end result is worth it.

hi guys.. just got my electronics for my cyclone (gtb and 13.5)
and while im installing them . i notice that the electronic side is so heavy than my bettery side(gp3300) by adding weight on it i probably need more than 40g ..so would that make my car heavy and run sluggish.
here is electronics
ko propo 2343 servo
amb (stick on the back of my servo)
spektrum sr3000 (spektrum capacitor)
gtb
13.5 motor
and iam using a 3300gp batteries. (will use for practice)
if anybody knows the weight of each of those electronics and the battery i would appreciate if you give me the weights. since i dont have any scale....
thanx guys.. will be testing it tom.
