I have a couple of quick questions;

1) What is everyone's preference, when it comes to look, fit and durability,
with the hex 3mm offset wheels? J Concepts, DE, Proline

2)What A-arm material is best for handling? plastic or carbon?

3) Does anyone know what is mounted on the chassis deck of Kinwald's ride in these pics? http://events.redrc.net/event-galler...own/?nggpage=8

Sorry guys for all the questions, I tried searching thread, with little success.

Did you break the brushes in? If not they will not seat correctly. The old run it for a few minutes in water usually works...

You may want to try the Avid wheels http://avidrc.com/product/2/wheels/4...-B-wheels.html

I just got a couple of sets real nice, actually alot of Avid's stuff is real nice.

Sharpen up your steering with this.

Personally, and this is just my opinion so don't everyone get upset with me :D, I feel that Bob is correct. I have heard people at my track as well talking about the slop that still exists after installing the Avid bellcranks, and I feel like the slop that is still existent isn't really that big of a deal. The Avid bellcrank is designed to remove the servo saver spring, and that is what it does. Avid never claims to eliminate all the slop, but rather the flex that the saver spring causes. I think the small amount of side-to-side movement that exists at the steering rack with the Avid bellcranks installed is quite minimal. I think that if that small bit of movement wasn't there, the truck would probably drive almost exactly the same. I'm sure not everyone on here feels the same way about this topic as I do, but that's fine, everyone is fully allowed to have there own opinion about how things work. I just wanted to voice my feelings concerning the topic, and invite anyone else on here to as well :)

I just rebuilt my ball diff. today using the EXCELLENT video guide by Racer 53

I've used it in the past, and it leaves me with a butta' smooth ball differential everytime! I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't in the past. In addition, I believe that using carbide diff balls, and ceramic thrust balls is a key to such a smooth setup. Unfortunately, it took me about 4 hours to rebuild it because I insisted on cleaning every single piece I pulled out of the transmission case and differential. But in the end, it was all worth it! :nod:

I haven't seen the C-hub on a 2WD SC10. But I don't feel like searching either.

I use the same except I break my diff in on the bench using an old dog bone and a cordless drill...Here's Nisomike's picture of it. It saves the ball cups from being taken off and on so many times.

Ever have one of those nights at the track? I just could not get my line down. I ended up taking 5th in the end, but man I was fighting my truck all night. I think every adjustment I made was out of anger and I just made things worse.

One thing I will say, the Avid kit made things much more responsive! I actually had to tun up my expo and slow my steering down a little bit!!
