Yea, it needs more contact area for better wear. But maybe they think it would cause binding if they did that.

I havent had rear pins wear prematurely if that helps and I ran some mod and 19t before (2004) and recently. Actually, recently probably 20, 30 packs of mod and rear pins are fine.

I ran Shumacher blades on one of my TC3s for 5 years with no wear. Front or rear.

I have used some aftermarket diff halves that were wider on my TC3 and didn't have any problems with binding. They worked pretty well actually, but I think XRAY could solve this problem by simpy using a different material. Something that a little more durable

After reading the last few posts I went and looked at both of my T2's... one is my 19t foam car and the other my rubber tire car. Both have been run hard and neither has had a blade changed yet. I can see no blade wear on either car.... I remember changing a blade on my 05 once.... but I think it was due to a bad crash

I talked to Butter the other day and he is running mod changing blades about every 2 runs he said.

Dude...I don't know what you're doing cause every XRAY guy I know has a bucket of extra blades in their pit bag cause they go through them so fast.

Hi Guy,
i was new to T2 i do not know whether this is normal. when i place my top deck in the chassis i found out that after i put everything in and going to screw it the deck was slanted a bit to right side. then after i screw it i found out the top of the steering bellcrank was slanted to the left side? is that normal? thanks

You might try flipping the top deck over. The hole on top is off centered that the bellcrank fits into.

blades wear out in stock and 19 turn also.that is there purpose.to absorb the impact and save the outdrives.this is not just on the t2 but all cars that use them.it is even harder on them when using a oneway or a spool.

I was having a lot of problems out of my rear blades recently (running mod). They were wearing the inside of the blades to the pin in only 2 runs because the blades were not grabbing the "ball" of the dogbone tightly enough...in other words, there was a lot of up-and-down slop.

To prevent this, I started doing this modification:
Put the blade on the dogbone and lightly squeeze it with a pair of pliars so that it "grabs" the ball of the dogbone. Then, just heat up the top part of the blade (the "apex") with a heat gun, and let it cool while you are still squeezing it. It will then have a lot better contact area with the outdrive and wear a lot better. After doing this mod, I have run the car about 10 runs without having to change the blades .

I am going to add this tip to our XRAY T2 Tips & Tricks page pretty soon, but since the subject came up, I went ahead and explained it here.

That's a good tip Nexus. Did that help on the front too?
