I have a question about the spool assembling. In the manual it shows the diff nut and the 2 washers but no bearings. Is that correct and also when putting the pads in do you still use the bearings or not?

No diff balls , thrust balls are optional.

Are the thrust balls for the slipper spool included in the kit?

I "solved" this issue by going to a smaller spur gear, a 69T. This lets me run pinions from 32T through 36T. These give the following FDR's:

36T 3.83
35T 3.94
34T 4.06
33T 4.18
32T 4.31

These values work fine for indoor carpet with a 17.5BL motor. I tried running a 13.5, but even with the 32T pinion, I was geared too high, so I would've had to go to a 72T or 75T spur.

FYI, I got the 36T pinion from my LHS, RC+ in Salem, OR.

If you can't wait for your LHS to order them, you could try Stormer Hobbies. They have Robinson Racing black aluminum pro pinions in 48P from 37T to 47T in odd sizes, in stock:

yes it basically comes to be able to build 2 diffs with the option to make a spool.

No you are,got a car coming?and i learned you need to run the thrust balls to keep the spool from backing off

Don't forget to put a little lock tight on it as well for double protection.

Grem and others - Thanks for the replies. Found pinions and spurs at horizon. They have teh 72t spur and odd size pinions up to about 47t, which should get me there. Appreciate the help.

Going to be perusing the posts to catch up on advice for setups and such. Need to find a couple of tenths per lap - dont we all

Hey Guys - have gone way back in posts but didn't see what I needed. Has anyone posted a good TC5R setup for running 17.5 stock, rubber tires, on med bite asphalt track? Generally using RP36 tires that work well on our track unless its really cold, then we run CS22. The box setup was pretty good, but need to find a little more mid and exit corner speed. Thanks for any replies.

hey everyone.
i need some advice on an idea. i broke my last dog bone blade 2day and prob wont have any for my race this sunday. so i cant use my spool. wat bout if i take the diff with the plastic outdrives, remove the balls and put some superglue in there and tighten it up. hey presto! a spool think this will work? im thinking the plastic outdrives might break or bend but i only race 540 class so should be ok

thanks treemagnet
