kewdawg,

If your going to use 3mm machine screws, make sure you drill out the holes to 2.5mm otherwise the plastic distorts and may make the leaking worse.

I don't think you can use that "O" ring with a standard diff and you shouldn't need to.
We use "Stag" non hardening gasket goo - that brown stuff. I found the oxygen safe silicone tends to disolve somewhat in the diff oil but the acetic cure stuff might me OK.

Also, don't overfill the diff - just covering the cross shafts is fine.

For the parking-lot track, start with the box set-up. It's pretty good.

Doki: V1RR manual suggested 25teeth pulley (over drive) with 1 way.

BONER: i'm using the stock front differentials for my v-one r. is it advisable to use the 25T with the regular diff up front??? or is it better to just stick with the standard 27T pulley??? also, if i decide to use the 25T pulley, do i need a special belt for that or will the stock belt work??? thanks...

Is there a brand name for the brown "gasket goo"? What foams would you recommend for the box set-up? Thanks for the info.

"Stag" is the brand name.

Permatex also makes one that is similar.

It's impossible to help with the foams without knowing your track and the conditions etc.
What do others generally run there?

bro... it's not possible to convert a v-one s into an rr. what i know is that you can conver your v-one r into an rr. the v-one s has a totally different layout on the pulley system... also, the chassis is totally different from the v-one rr.

As I mentioned in an earlier post: a large, smooth asphalt, parking lot track w/ medium traction/bite. No parking lines, either!

I generally run (26mm) 42 or 40 shore up front and (30mm) 37 shore in the rear. Either TRC, FAST TIRES, HPI, and tried but thought they were too soft, the stock POWERS TIRES - 35 shore, front(26mm) / rear(30mm).

Speaking of the clutch... Has anyone experienced the Centax clutch sticking and staying engaged? If, so, How do you remedy this problem? It was built per the manual but stays engaged during run, when off-throttle. I've disassembled and checked the internals with no sign of trouble, more than once.

it's possible you have the idle stop open too wide. Also check the spring retainer nut make sure it didn't backed out.

Nope, checked them. The clutch is clearly locked up, to the point, where when sitting on the starter box and the brake is engaged, the engine shuts off. It seems to happen once the clutch heats up from the engine.

Are you guys doing anything different / extra, when you built the Centax clutch?
