Rick dude,

when u built your drive train up with the new gears and prop, did you take any further precautions or do anything like shimming becasue at first i got a bind in the gears

thanks mate

I just put it together and shimmed so there was no movement in the gears but not so they were tight. Rick

hi, has anyone of you bought and tried the blue convertion kit of the evo III? does it improve the performance of the car or it's just for the looks? i'm considering of getting one but would like the opinion of others before buying it, tnx

ngo8

i got it its just for looks mostly the only impovement is the motor mount it comes finned it will keep the motor cooler.

jeffreylin

Mostly just looks. It's not even complete as it does not include the upper suspension link blocks nor the washers and ball ends of the stabilizer.

It does give you the blue shaft, which is 2mm longer than the original shaft and it fixes the front oneway/bevel gear stripping problem.

It also give you a slotted motor mount which is slightly lighter and provide additional cooling surface

However, if you are interested in performance upgrade alone, get the new light weight shaft. It's also 2mm longer thus fix the oneway issue and lessens your drivetrain rotating mass.

ngo8

so the shaft on the blue conversion is the same size as the new lightweight shaft?

jeffreylin

same length, but not size. The blue shaft has the same diameter as the original one.

buboy28

ok thanks i think i will go with the lightweight shaft

hey sorry for all the questions.
re: shimming

which shimms do you use and were do you place them? i read on the tamiya website that this guy shimmed his diffs away from the pinion. is this what you done rick?
how ? which shimms?

could u post me a pic if poss.

thanks alot

I think in the front i ended up with 0.2mm worth of shims, one either side of the diff and in the rear 0.3mm worth of shims, 0.1 behind the gear and 0.2 infront of the gear. Every gearbox and diff is different though, give it a run on the track and it shud free off a lot thats the best way to free it up. Also i am using white lightneing or whatever its called on the gears this frees it up a bit more. Rick
