I don't have any issues with those geardiff screws, i use a 1,5MM hex driver (same hexdriver as a 3mm grub screw) and fits it perfectly.

I don't seem to have the luck with my 1.5mm wrench. It cannot fit into the screw. Now I am looking to see if they have the Phillips version of that. Do you guys have any suggestion in an alternative screw that can be purchased?

The Pro manual shows part number 10445976. Typing that number in on Tamiya's site it comes up with part number 58297 with #0445976 showing as the item number....

Default unbalance drool

Hi,

Tired to set my drool again and notice my drool is not balance when screw out the drool screw. rear is showing 1 on both side and front is showing left 2 and right 3.

Wonder why is it so. I had took out my suspension for rear and front suspension, ifs before i set. I had also took out the sway bar too.

if i were to set my drool at 5, wonder do i need to offset it for instance. if default shows 2, i will set to 7, if default shows 1 i will set it to 6.

thank you.

You are reffering to "droop" and not drool.....

Make sure nothing is binding. Belts, diffs, bearings, ect....

SOunds like, most likely, "tweak".

Double check your spring pre-load.....by picking up the center-line of the chassis with a screwdriver, and watching that both tires lift at the same time. If they lift off the surface at different times, adjust the opposite end of the car's shocks.
Turn the car around, and repeat.

Hi,
I experienced the same thing at first I found since the belts are new
and tight and the rear power is almost direct drive out of the gear box
the car was snappy loose like that. I suggest turning down the throttle atv and letting the belts wear in and it should go away , could also be just a rear traction issue might be getting to much rear traction but i do not think that is the issue. As this car has awesome power out of the corner = great corner exit speed !
Best,
John

took the car apart and will try again, but what I could not undertand even when I swaped the shocks left to right the car still torque steered to the right, droop is even from left to right etc, I am at a loss to understand this car, my 417x is amazing, my ta05 ver ii with ifs and exotek chassis is even faster, but this car is not working how I want it to
