Don't overlook all the ball links. You can squeeze the plastic rod ends to include sway bar links to open up the hole size a little. You can do this a few times...

Since I spent so much time on the shock issues, I'm all about mods like this. Using the 2.0 tuning springs is the ticket.

Refreshing to see others try to reach perfection like this. Best way to...

I have used a very thin layer, but you can't use anything thick or the body will likely be hitting the battery and not fit right. Thin foam or felt might work if you have enough space between the...

You have some good points. However,
1- I felt the same way about the metric hardware as all my other rigs were metric past 25+ yrs, but it's never been a big issue. Got spares once about 7 years...

I got two years out of my first MIP spur. It was noisy last few months, but outlasted two pinion gears. I cleaned it and dry lube between rounds on dirty tracks. Needed nothing but clean and lube at...

I like to use the smallest amount of thread lock. It's just a hint that it has any on it. I use a little more on motor plate. As for taking them off next time, if they require more pressure than I...

Setting ring and pinion gear mesh SCTE

Nothing perfect, but that's the goal:)

The 3.0 hub material was improved. They seem to hold bearings tighter over time for less slop. Best to buy spares. Most parts on the stock 3.0 are about as...

You did good. They need to wear in. Most of the time the gears are machined well and the diffs only feel rough for one or two lipos. Bench break in will identify any problems. Hold each wheel and run...

Yes, LOSB2904 can be made to work. Lower spring cups fit, but front a arms must be shaved down for clearance of larger springs. The plastic upper spring collars need the threads removed and some...

I think the tool sizes are listed in the manual. Use the 2.0 manual for your truck, but check the 3.0 manual to get the right size hex driver for the newer HD diff screws. They may be the same,...

I have both. Tekin and HW. Kinda got away from Castle past few years, but they have made many improvements and likely not far behind. IMO, Tekin still has a slight advantage in software. HW has...
