Running the arms back, if I run them forward car gets a little twitchy in the parking lot races not as even as proper track

I have the permanent one and it comes up rather far , the instructions clearly warn about problems with the HS and wires over the top of it. I am with you though. I don't think I am even going to run it, it just doesn't get that hot!!!

Default Apogee Magnum 3800 mAh Battery Pack

Hi guys,

Did anyone here running their JRXS type R with Apogee Magnum 2-Cell or 3 - Cell 3800 mAh Battery Pack?

Need to know if it will fit in the battery compartment or only the Orion lipo pack can fit in?

Advice appreciated. Thanks!

guys i need a little help here. i would have posted in the jrxs thread BUT its not as active as this one, but it resembles it anyway... my question is this, HOW do i adjust or tighten my diff with out taken the diff assembly out of the car, i looked at the diagram and the diff screw is inside the tube, is there a tool i need to adjust it its vertually impossible to adjust it with a regular screw driver. is that screw inside the tube the screw i need to adjust the diff with. is there a way to adjust it with out taken things apart. please help

I usually use an exacto blade or long body clip to slide into the screw head, just stick somehting in there to hold it, and turn the wheel on the oposit side.

i figured it out the harder way. i took apart the other side of the diff assembly that hold in the cvd. and then i was able to use a srew driver in the tube. BUT your way seems alot easier, lol. I will try that next time, thanks.

Or you can use a small flatblade screw driver to tighten it with as well. Just stick the blade in the screw from the side and just do as the previous poster said. There is no need to tear anything apart to tighten a diff on either car.
