The diffs and spurs, etc are all the same so the gear ratios should be identical 👍🏻

Edited: Ah...I forgot about the LTC gears...not sure what difference they make!!! *smh*

Thanks. That was actually a very big difference

Only the ring and pinion gears affect the gear ratio. The internal diff gears have nothing to do with the transmission ratio.

Yup, should have thought about that, cheers for correcting.

Ring and pinion are the same so no change in gear ratios 👍🏻

Finally got this car much easier to drive on black carpet. Biggest change I made was mounting the front shocks outside/outside and going to the new wider AE front wheels. Orange/Yellow springs with 2.5mm 2x1.7/2x1.8 pistons f/r, 37.5/32.5 oil. Might be TOO locked in at this point for some, but worth a shot if you're feeling twitchy. Cheers!

Does anyone test the thre hole pistons in the B74.2?
I alway saw setup with the standard two holes pistons 2mm or 2.5mm.

Just came here to say I think the box stock setup for the B74.2D is pretty damn good for outdoor clay grooved track. Buggy absolutely floats off the jumps and just grips. I'm pretty amazed at how well it drives right out of the box.

I recently switched from the old HTC plastic to the newer LTC plastic and the diffs end up 2g or so lighter each due to less milling on the back of the larger gears. Less oil, more plastic.

Maybe this explains the punch difference-
The LTC are so smooth in the center diff that to get an equivalent to 200k-500k HTC you would have to run 1m LTC. It's much easier to rebuild diffs with 200-500 than over 1m, that's why some guys stick with the old gears in the center. The LTC can bleed out power to the front wheels, atleast that's what I've understood from other drivers.

A couple fast guys at the carpet track are running 15k diff fluid in the front and 20k in the rear. What's the advantage to running a thicker fluid in the rear?

I saw Ayden Horne was running 5k front and 60k rear as well. He said it basically makes the car drive like a 2wd thru the corners. Watch Dustin Evans last Facebook live video, he talks about it as well.

Any feedback on the new steering plates?

Anyone know where to get the newly released FT Ring and Pinion Gear Set, molded ASC92318? Its on backorder everywhere I look.

Anyone have a solution for shock cups lifting? The car was driving funny and noticed the shock cup lifted and wedged in the spring. All of them slide up with no resistance. I even checked the spares from the kit. They are all loose with no resistance holding them down. Normally you must wedge it down and it holds.

My spring cups are very tight on the eyelet. Is the spring cup hitting the arm at full droop? If so just simply Dremel the arm for clearance.

edman4523

They are not hitting the arms. The spares in the kit are just as loose.
