PLEASE HELP -
How often do you guys rebuild your diff, like actually get new thrust balls, washers, etc.?
Well, my problem is that my rear diff keeps slipping. Even though I've cleaned it out and reassembled it several times. I've tried changing bell tightnesses, front diff tightness, everything but buying new stuff.
what should I try, fix, or buy?
thanks.

Use thread lock over the diff hub, 12 packs with no slip.
Hope this helps!

hay guys i am after some setup help i am currenty running the tim hamm low grip setup (uploaded below) the setup worked alot better than the current setup i was running but its still a little slipery on the rear i changed a few things with the below setup which did help a little
1) 30lb springs front (better)
2) removed rear sway (better)
3) rear shocks brought in 1 space (better steering)
Problem = still alittle lose at the rear (on power out fo courners) and limited steering but changing shock angle (rear) helped lots
sorry if i have not explained this very well still very new to setting up cars properly i am running RP30's (i can use diffrent ones) and racing on a small asplult track in the UK weather is not to warm and running 13.5t brushless spedd passion setup
if anyone can give me some pointers on some things to try next time i race to solve the issues i have as the car still feels very loose on power comming out of the courners and i really could do with a bit more steering. i have set the speed controler to its lowest punch setting
any tips/pointers greatly appericated

Try this..I have used this as start at all tracks and has worked every where..
Here is set up I been using most recently. Low med bite. Also ran on High Bite and won also. So this set up is easy to drive. May not be fast lap car all the time. But will make car a great car to be in the show in battle for top spot.
Front
40 wt oil 17 springs stock pistons
4 caster blocks
Med wheel base
1 1/2 camber
.5 mm toe out
.40 sway bar
5 mm ride height
2 1/2 mm droop over RH
top shocks #2 hole
Camber link set up #1 on tower and tall ball stud on caster block
spool high
high roll centers
#1 on spindle rod end
#2 on steering rack
Rear
30 weight oil 15 lb springs stock pistons
Med wheel base
No sway bar
High roll center
#2 pivot block
stock hubs o*
rear link 5A w/ tall ball stud
shocks tower #2 outside arm
1 1/2 camber
ride height 5 1/2
droop 3mm over RH
diff low
Motor 13.5 gear 104x45
When I measure droop.. I set car to rh on board. Hold wheel carfully while lifting that corner of chassie to see when car is in full droop thats the droop # I use. Maybe Jason can explain better as I got this from him. But thats best was as car already has droop in sag sitting at ride heifgt. So if chassie is 5 MM RH I need chassie to be at 8mm while in full drop while measuring to get 3 mm.
Hope this helps some...

Hi, this is my first post here and want to say that it is a great forum.
I`m from spain and i run with a typeR, we run in a large outdoor gas tracks medium grip and run with mod and Lipo without weight limit, we run with foams and the rear we use is 30mm(control tyre take off 35), the cars are very fast(only tenths with the gas guys), the car is great and have no traction problems( the motor is mamba max6900) the only thing i miss is a little more steering on power, the tracks are very fast but with some hairpins i run with the stock setup except for softer springs in the front and 6ºcaster blocks(front diff also), have anyone a setup for this conditions?
And also last race was a special format, 30 mins, most people went for two stops but with the "fast" change of batteris of the car
i have to go for one (maxamps 6000 and reedy neo1star), have anyone a idea on how to make a fast change of batteris for this car.
best regards from spain

I've built this spreadsheet to easily find ratios for spur/pinion and internal drives for both 41 and 42 pulleys.
It's not pretty, but it works. If you guys can give me an average diameter for jaco vs rp's vs sorex i can update this w/ the rollout calculations as well.
I submitted teh type r w/ the 41 tooth pulleys to this site which is pretty good too: http://www.gearchart.com/index.cfm?f...n=chart.create
