got mine...







the position the links are in the pics i ened up changing once i got it on the ground i dint like how the camber was set, and my links are shortened, but not short enough to give me the camber i wanted...i moved it to the lower INSIDE hole on the tower, which is the STOCK postiton like it would be on the 1st generation shock tower...

reggie, i got mine last week and i was testing it last saturday, i had my links in the "stock" location but it pushed, changed the position to where yours is in the pics and then i checked my ride height and it was off so thats why it was pushing, not the camber location. my question is how is the "stock" location with the new shock location. does it allow more rotation or push a little bit?

what i ment by "stock" was the 2 inside holes on the new tower are the same as the towers that came with the 2.0t's.. and all i did was move it to the lower inner hole and kept it on the last hole on the hub...i have not run it yet to give you any feed back as far as camber goes

Hi cdbias, the damage to the outdrive cup, lower arm & diff casing is all from the driveshaft coming out, happened several times. I'll have to replace those parts once I figure out how to fix it. I'd say it has rounded the outer corners of the outdrive cup from being soooo close to that edge & as a result, it's making it easier for the driveshafts to pop out. I have someone trying to help me out, not sure if he wants me naming him, but he's a top bloke!!


Before this race meet, I installed NEW, pinion gear, ring gear, bearings, shimmed so there is the smallest of play, diff casing & the bearing cups.
The first time it popped was during practice, first thing in the morning. I even put a brand new drive shaft in.

There was a post before that said cut the rear links to the front meausurement, but the part nimbers checked with losi shows they're both
107mm. So are you guys cuttin g the rear shorter and are still making the rear 142mm total length. because the directions show the front total at 142.50mm amd the rear and 142mm

if you take the rear off and compare it to the front its clearly longer

Hey TIX

Are you still doing the modded hubs for those of us downunder?

How much play should be in the rear where the pinion meets the ring? I got a new pinion and housing to replace the old one and used the ring from my 1.0, shimmed it put it still feels like it has to much play. Im new to this so i dont know if it is supposed to be this way because dont they have a break in period too? Any help would be nice.

i shim new r/p til i feels alittle notchy. then after i run it alittle it will smooth out. then i check it after each race day and reshim as needed.

sicsam

So far i think i have 6 or 7 shims in it, is that too many?

every diff is different

Any good upgrades or tips i should know about? Im want to get tit. turnbukles and LW diff cups to take some weight off, but i'd rather take it all of the drivetrain if i can. I seen on a-main that you can get LW pinion and driveshaft axles, has anyone used these and are they worth the money?

Yes well worth the $$ the other big weight saver is the lightened spur gear. Also well worth the $$. On the truck the alum axles are no good they break. But the other lightened parts do provide increased acc. and let the engine spool up faster and easier.

sicsam

The reason im asking is because there's going to be another truck setup like mine with a jpx. 28 on it @ the local track. I've already put the 48 tooth spur gear on it to try and kill some wheel spin when i take off or i hope thats what it does....

And frank, What is your setup on your truck? I seen it on another tread but cant remember which one.
