Ceramics are not standard in the kit though right?

Put an allen wrench through the top of the chassis into the slipper nuts hole, face the buggy away from you and grab the rear wheels.. Rotate the wheels forward to tighten the slipper, the other way to loosen.

Correct, carbides come in the kit AE#6581 and the ceramics are AE# 6584.

Are the ceramics better? Do you run them?

Yes I personally run them, and they are great! They are a little bit more money but because of the increased hardness of the ceramic balls you can go several diff rebuilds without having to replace them. Since they are significantly harder than the diff rings the only way they can get ruined is if steel from the diff ring is deposited and stuck on the diff ball. This only occurs if the diff barks (slips a lot) and allows the steel to get hot enough to stick to the ball. This issue is worse with a carbide ball and way worse with just a steel ball.

mip real shocks

Thanks,

For those of you running kyosho big bore shocks, what springs are you running. Switching to big bores and was looking for a little help and direction. What oils and pistons are you running?

which is better steel pinion or aluminum pinion for a 6.5 motor and which brand is best?

savox 1258-tg how to fit
 

i just purchased the savox 1258-tg any suggestions on how to fit it correctly or should i go with another servo???? do i cut the strengthening tabs on the front of the servo tabs and put the mounts in the front any tips or suggestions

What gearing are most of you running? I'm going to be running on mostly indoor hard packed clay. It's a pretty technical track and I'll be using a 9.5turn motor.

With the stock spur what size pinions should I keep handy?

I will also be running some on my own backyard track pictured below. In these pics I hadn't finished running all the pipe but you get the idea of the size of it:

what servo are you guys running
 

i have a savox 1258-tg and it doesn't fit its like a couple mils to long the steering rack rubs any suggestions on a servo that will fit looking for between 150 to 200 tq preferably somewhere in between

I run the hitec 7940

I've been running them for a month now. I only have 3 official race nights (2 qaulies and a main per night) on them and they are performing really well. Buggy hooks up on large sweepers holding the inside line. Can't really see a big advantage on the jumps. My set up is in the rebound (reverse) position using the 3/4/5 valves. I have the option valves but have not installed them yet.

how do you like it
 

how is it and where did you buy it at cause i could only find them at RCplanet for 150 anywhere cheaper???
