why didn't you wait

Surface area looks similar to the Losi slipper setup, seems like you could just use Losi gears and pads for the same effect.

You could give give those parts a shot ...

The mod works great ,won't have to buy any extra parts.

Has anyone done the "losi spring conversion"? Do you notice a difference? Someone at my track said it makes a huge difference in the way the car feels?

im using kyosho springs and their really nice (pricey but nice) a few people at my local track are using losi springs and they say its fairly similar to stock associated ones. im trying kyosho's since i have a full set of front and rears from my rb5.

Guys, where can I get more of these Golden 4-40 locknuts from the Carbon C-tower?

Ordered, Thanx!

Any of you ever had a problem keeping your spur gear from wobbling? I installed new gear, new slipper and pads, new bearings inside of case, new spring and washer and nut. No luck. I did not change the top shaft, but I just really don’t think it could be bent. To be honest I don’t think the spring sits square on the slipper plates. Almost as if un even pressure is being applied to the slipper. Any thoughts?

Not unusual to find a bent top shaft , also motor plate ....





If the spur is wobbling as bad you sound , most likely one or the other ....

Have you not been reading the last 100 or so pages of this thread?
I think 20+ pages straight were about Losi BB springs, lol

But to answer your question. Yes a lot of people are using. yes they make a difference to a point. Do they make you faster? to a point yes. do they feel different, yes.
Are they worth it. To me yes they are. to others maybe not so much.

Agreed! I'd go with the top shaft as the primary suspect. I've bent 2..

I guess I will change the top shaft and see what we get. I'm just thinking that if the shaft was bent the spur would kind of move up and down not move in out.

Yep, but with mine its because the machined areas on the top shaft that accept the back slipper plate are off. I contacted associated today and they are supposed to be sending out a replacement for that and rear hubs. The left side 0* hub included with my worlds kit is machined much to large for the bearings. You can actually watch the inner bearing spinning in the hub when you hold the car up. Not to mention how far you can move the drive shaft back and forth within the hub...

thanks, i would have let jay go be he spun my in a circle and that was not cool. no1 waited for me so why should i wait for no1? lol. Good job on second. Need to get faster and find my 18 lap
