I took out some washers from the front 1-way outdrives, to fit one of the spare black o-rings inside the oudrives.. I dunno if it's doin anything, but I still am yet to strip a bevel gear.. I know the TC3 outdrives got rubber bushings on the inside, so I tried it on this car.
BTW.. Anyone think it'd be safe to run a 96/34 spur/pinion setup for a reedy Ti 8x2 motor?? everyone seems to gear their motors pretty tall
