Quick question; has anybody ran this rear setup as in the picture?

The shock mounted behind the car transfers a lot of weight towards the rear.
I think it could be effective on some tracks. Only testing could tell. I haven't tried this on my car...yet.

Ran my DNX408 with that set up but don't know the benefits of it with electric. Most who ran it in nitro did it to move the shock farther from the exhaust to help keep it (shocks) cool. I didn't notice much of a difference in handling.

It's finally built. Ready to hit the track.

I have noticed binding in my drivetrain (thought it may be improper rear diff shimming). Under further inspection I have noticed the slipper assembly, mainly the spur gear NOT parallel to the pinion gear. It is off slightly causing improper meshing and a loud drivetrain.

When looking at the spur from the side of the vehicle the top of spur gear is slightly angled towards the front of the vehicle. This only happens when the spur is locked down by the guard and metal pin.

Anyone else notice this? Have a fix for this?

Sorry no pics but appreciate the help.

Lock to lock my wheels (inner rim) is hitting my steering ball end. Is this normal?

Provided there is not a gap between the guard and the bearing you can try loosening the screws for the motor plate and center brace. Assemble the spur and retention mechanism. Slowly tighten the screws in a staggered pattern while keeping an eye on everything. Let us know if that works . . .

Sure do.

What are those tires in that picture?

More caster will give you less initial turn in, and more on power steering coming out of the turns. I tried them and didn't like them, since the car already has a ton of on power steering. Made the car want to break the rear tires loose too easily.

Thanks Danger.

I did do this based on earlier posts but didn't seem to help.

What I have done to fix this is shave the curved area on the retention mechanism (where the front bearing sits) with a Dremel. Now the spur is aligned with pinion and meshes better.

I wonder by doing this there will unwanted slop in the slipper assembly. I also used some more shims next to the bearing for a tighter fit.

Tempted to try this for drier, looser tracks. Only problem I see is that there's no easy apparent way to keep the rear sway bar.
