yeah it was about 35 degrees inside. i was expecting one to snap because ive been hearing those are the weak point but i took a couple tumbles and it kept going. im going to stock up on parts so i can have it ready for outdoors wich starts in a couple weeks. The diffs were really notchy at first but now there butter smooth. i cant wait to get more wheel time with this buggy.

I've heard of a few rear uprights breaking.....but no fronts. Anything will break in that kind of cold..


Sounds like you shimmed your diffs the right way....tight and a little notchy at first....then smooth after 5-6 tanks. Be sure to check them again...I've had to re-shim some after the first1/2 gallon or so. After that they'll last forever. I just changed my rear pinion last week....it's from the second gen kits. That ring/pinion set has around 18-20 gallons on them.

I've broken three of the front knuckles in the past month, running in 30* temps. They just don't like the cold, so your not alone Cheese.

Don't know about your rubbing issue, I looked my car up and down trying to see if there's a problem. I'm running the plastic rear hubs, all is well.
