they work real good for me
Yup, tried the grease thing and still didn't like the way they worked. Honestly, I don't have much trouble with my pulleys being open but I race primarily on indoor carpet right. I rarely race outdoors.

Don't touch the 3Racing shock as they are rubbish.

This has probably been asked already but has anyone found that the new center pulleys(18t) and belts(170t,63t) make any difference as i wouldn't mind getting them if they do. I run on a small indoor carpet track.

Also does anyone know where to get an alternative to the HPI diff grease? It looks silver/metallic, what If I get a bottle of high temp axle grease (red) from the auto parts store? This grease is $2.39 for a tiny tiny container.
Honestly, I sell (in my opinion) some of the best diff lube you can buy. However, I don't have any stock right now and may not for awhile due to several factors. Check out my site and you'll see why I came up with it. I even addressed the "runny" issue that STLNLST spoke of. My local hobby shop does have it in stock and I believe Superior Hobbies in Orlando may have some as well.

Marcos, remind me to give you some to try...LOL.

dang man, i just looked into getting some nice HB shocks, they want $20 for a pair of bodies, $8 for a pair of lower caps, $8 for a pair of upper caps, $3 for shocks parts, $8 for a pair of titanium shock parts, $2 for o-rings, $3 for bladders, $2 for reboudn foams, $2 for shock pistons, $2 for e-clips, then $20 for aluminum spring perches, then another $8 for a pair of spring collars.

I think once you get all of it, cost you at least $100.

I installed the 18T pulleys and longer belts, a must if you're gonna run
17.5,13.5 or 10.5 brushless. The pulleys are OK but I found the front belt to be a little long, there's no adjustment left once the tension is set. If it wasn't such a pain, I'd tear it down again and try a used (stretched) stock belt maybe. Overall though, it's alot easier to deal with the 2.16 ratio for brushless. I also run regularly on a smallish carpet track with foams.

yeah man from the sounds of it, just a set of 4 shock bodies is $40, upper caps $16, lower caps $16, spring perches, $20, springs $10, spring collars $20, even using your old parts still comes out to way over $100 lol.

You could always boil them.

I used the stock 62t and 169t belts and havent ran into any slack or over tensioned issues, good deal!
