Drop the HPI diff screw and get the TC3 diff screw. It is $2 and use the nut that it comes with. It is far better than the stock screw.

Porschejim, I would just go with the steel fronts and the alloy rears. Not the MIP style. The rears you will not have any problems.

If you guys do not CVD chatter, go with the dog bone and axles's from the S car. Operating angle is also higher.

hi dodgeguy....I already tried the tc3 screw.....I learned that trick in my racer 2's..it broke the diff screw in 2....not sure why,as it's always worked before in the racer diffs....


in fact,I used to use the tc3 spring as well,as it gives more tension....but in the delrin diffs,it was a bit tight,as was the nut........(the associated nut is slightly bigger.....)

Stock chassis is fine. Would like to try the bmi chassis though. Chassis is the same on all kits from the original black-WCE.

the BMI asphalt chassis are using 2.25mm carbon fiber it get more flex and the chassis is more tough than regular chassis. and Jason did extend the rear wheel base by 3mm to get carry more traction on high speed connering.
