how much modding did you have to do to get it to fit? been thinking about getting the detta ball diffs for the plastic outdrives, the recoil ball diff outdrives wear a notch that can cause some mighty frustrating handling issues..
well the oneway did not work so good it made it 2 battery packs before it blew out the right side bearing went bad money wasted oh well
so I threw in my old diff that I have locked down to be a spool
suited my driving style better anyways
has anyone else had any luck with the detta tc oneway?
or are the doing the same thing?

If your running foam/carpet, i wouldn't be surprised. Foam carpet puts a ton of stress on drivetrain parts, and id imagine the one way bearing is the weak link. I was just looking @ the ball diffs so I could have plastic outdrives. Did you have to do any modding to the diff case and or lots of shimming to get the detta diff in?

nope you do not need to mod the diff case just need to do some shimming
yeah I realize that foam and oneway is normally a bad combo
but it's not like I was running bl set up
our recoil class here is spec'd and we use AE super 370 max gearing 14/58 (stock spur?) track is maybe 40'x25'
maybe I just got a bad oneway????

I have been using the Vendetta diffs for the truggy in my Recoil for awhile now. The ball diffs are really good and you dont have to mod for them to fit. I havent had one notch like the Recoil ball diffs yet. If you use the gear diff you should get the graphite case. You get more use out of it. They also make metal outdrives for the gear diff so when you get tired of twisting the plastic ones in half upgrade to those.
I noticed a few days ago that my Recoil Pro has a crooked chassis .

Hi all, I'm new to these recoils and just got a few finished for me and a mate. I know they're being dicontinued in 2010 but we got 2 each on-sale cause they were selling the spashett edition for 90 bucks here in Aus so we bought a 2nd car each for spares. Can't complain at that price really, just put it away and move on when I can't get parts. Cheaper than an exotek chassis for my 18r.
Trying to get these recoils to hook up a bit better on smooth concrete. Can't seem to get the rear end to stop stepping-out exiting a corner but it understeers considerably coming into the corner off-power so not sure what to do. Tightend the front and loosened the rear diff a bit but it's not a lot better. It's not your usual race track surface. It's a concrete warehouse floor where the traction is very limited. Note: I think it handles great on bitumen but this low grip surface is a nightmare.
My question is: Will the Carisma tyres and wheels fit on the recoil? Thinking perhaps the racing compound rubber tyre they sell for that might hook up better with some traction compound. Plus the rear looks a little wider... Any help would be appreciated.
Need to know more about your setup to help.. what ride height? camber? tires? uptravel? springs? shock oil? etc.

The whole setup is box stock as per the spashett edition car. shock oils, springs,camber, the lot. I am a total noob to the on-roads and only given the cars two runs. Will measure those settings as soon as I can buy a new camber guage. Lost my camber guage a while back and haven't replaced it.
Not sure how you measure the uptravel tho. What reference point do you use?
Sorry for all the questions?
Does anybody know if the carisma wheels fit the recoils? Just need to know incase I get stuck for supply.

The Carisma is the same as the Recoil so the Carisma wheels should fit the Recoil.

Uptravel is the chassis travel above ride height. So, you measure the ride height (compress the suspension and settle the chassis), and then the point at which the wheels are just about to leave the ground, take the difference, and that is the amount of uptravel you have. For a car that is understeering entering a corner, and oversteering on exit, you would want more uptravel in the front and rear. The more in the front will make teh car more stable exiting the corner, and more in the rear will get you more entry steering. This is of course a smaller change, you need a whole setup to get the car handling correctly, just changing this wont make up for something else being wrong.

Thanks for the explanation. I understand what you say though about the reasons for the handling deficit could possibly extend to more than just up-travel adjustment.
