Purchased my BCE chassis from them through Ebay, still took over 2 weeks to get it after paying expedited shipping cost. It's a great chassis but they sure have their share of supply and shipping issues. Contacted them several times during that period and got replies but felt like I was getting the run around, no offers to refund any of the shipping cost though.

yep the email and contact info were the same ebay and from ordering direct. i have got enough response here to understand the situation thanks for the reassurance its still coming.. thanks again everyone.now lets get back to the scte tips for us slower guys....lol
and trust me and anyone else who has a BCE chassis when we say, "it's worth the wait". you won't hear about cracked BCE chassis or how they look like crap after the anodizing wears off. quality material. quality finished product.
The Bump chassis is made from the same thing the BCE chassis's made from and it's also made in the USA. If the anodizing starts to wear and look bad you can always take it off and polish it out to look as good as the BCE.

diff slop
hey guys, on my center diff where the axles go, there seems to be some slop, so removed the diff and the slop was still there. took it apart to look inside (again) and nothing appears to be wrong.. do the diffs have slop in them its the actual parts where the axles go in, the cups if you will.. i know the axle will have some, but, i dont think the other part should..
damn i hope you can understand what im trying to say
thanks ralph

I heard a clicking noise when the truck was running. I assumed it was a chipped diff gear. When the truck stopped I looked at the pinion and thought it was funny that the gear mesh was about 1/8" too wide. I thought the adjustment screw on the mount feel out. Then I realized that the shaft was just flopping around in the motor.

New viper esc motor combo!! When ever they decide to release them lol
I have one on B/O since black friday. Any info anyone?

The weight of the pinion is insignificant compared to the side load the pinion is putting on the shaft trying to turn the spur gear in a heavy truck like the SCTE. The motor is capable of producing over a HP. That's roughly 200 in/lbs of force. The bearings on the Pro4 motors are also roughly 50% closer together than the 550 motors. The same force at the pinion will cause the shaft to deflect at a greater angle in the Pro4 vs a 550. By doubling up the bearing you are reducing it's load by 50%.
The bearing that failed in my motor destroyed the retainer. The only way this can happen is overloading the bearing and spreading the balls apart until the retainer fails. The bearings in the Pro4 are probably close to their design limit under normal circumstances, add the shock load from landing a jump at full throttle and you could easily overload the bearing.

I get what your saying but I dont think there is much sideload from the pinon/spur under load. The only load I could think of would be if you run your pinion/spur mesh loose and the pinion is slaping the spur or visversa and its creating a little downward force on the pinion/outshaft.
I just dont see any type of load when we have to fixed peices meshing, AKA Motor/Spur. Both are set in place and work with each other hence why I say the mesh between both could cause a bearing to fail at higher speeds if its loose and there slaping, It's very possibly if you think about it we would just never be able to tell, If anything they would slap together while in the air and on and off the gas.
im having a hard time explaing what im trying to say im tired hopefully it makes some sense.

There will always be side load due to the way the gears are cut. As soon as you pull the trigger, the 2 gears try to push away from each other. Seems like the extra bearing in the mount would help spread the load that creates.
jus my $.02.
