Start out with a 12T and go from there...........

I just built those steps on mine today but my diffs are very smooth no notchy feelings and as for my clicker I have it tighted only a little bit so its not in full 4wd all the time just to try it first but it has a constant feel and click.
Hope this helps my first kit car but I have rebuilt 2wd and 1/8 buggies diffs so I could be wrong though :lol:

Want to be one of the first to welcome you to our thread ....:)



The diff should feel fairly smooth when assemble correctly..

Common mistakes


Shims not installed ,shims installed incorrectly or the wrong position on the gear ...

clicker clicking


Its usually from installing too long of a screw on the transmission and you have dented the pulley gear or the screw is rubbing the pulley gear.

ck if the #91013 ft pulley flange is installed correctly..

also check to make sure you did not install too long of screws on the ft shock tower, screw # 89454.


The very top two screws used to install tower ?
If too long can dent & bind the counter gear inside the transmission.



gear diff kit #9829

Thanks prob get the three pack and try some different sizes then

I run the X12L at 14/62 and it never gets above 62°C/141F with 61F outside temperature, on an astroturf mixed grip track (some very high grip, some loose areas with some sand in the astroturf).

Thanks for the welcome and the info...The diffs were assembled correctly, I triple checked before installing the fluid. The clicker pulley did free up quite a bit after backing the screws off to the point that they are flush with the inside of the back of the belt housing. There is only a tiny amount of resistance once every three revolutions.

look for a dent on the back side of pulley flange , dent from screw can be big enough to squeeze the belt as the pulley rotates

I'll check that tomorrow, thanks.

whats the difference between the rc shox V1 and V2????thanks how do you guys like the V2 vs the Clutch basket and garodisc pads.

My first post!
 

Hi guys.
I've followed this thread from day one and I think I've read nearly every page, feel like I already know some of you guys!
I've always wanted one of these but have been waiting until funds allow and then for the FT version, I ordered it last night!
I think the only upgrade on the FT I'll be making in the near future will be some of those posh pistons Mantis makes and changing the springs. I forget right now, is it backs on the front or fronts on the back, I'll have to go read up on it, I've used the search this thread function already. ;)

I can't wait to build it, I've only been racing a year and started on a RTR B4.1 and also race a Mardave VRX CE during the winter.
I have a second hand SC10 as well for bashing but this new 4x4 kit will be my first new build. There are very few clubs where I live and nothing indoors so this will mostly be used for bashing as well although one track will allow it in their open electric class on a big 1/5 scale petrol track.


I'll keep you posted about my build, should be here tomorrow, dry build first, then decide on diff fluids, shock oils and spring changes then order them.
It'll probably have the RS Pro out of my Mardave(season ends in 2 weeks) fitted first with a 10.5t with plans for something hotter when funds allow.

Cheers guys.
Phil

V2 is adjustable. Only V2's out there are prototypes. Should be shipped soon. I love the v1 I'm running compared to the basket with garodiscs. Much more drivable in the lose stuff on outdoor tracks

Sweet. I run on an indoor track. High bite. Should be great,right?

So who is right? and who is wrong ?

AE or the HUDY off-road setup guide

EFFECTS OF ACKERMANN ADJUSTMENT
STEERING ROD INNER MOUNTING
POSITION
CHARACTERISTICS
Forward holes (sharper angle)
• Smoothens out steering response
• Car reacts smoothly
• Better suited to smooth fl owing tracks with
high speed corners


Rearward holes (shallower angle)
• Quickens initial steering response
• Car reacts faster to steering input
• Better suited to small, tight tracks

I got this from the hudy set up guide

Did the bearing mod to my diffs!
Works very well.

I bet they are both correct as they use different steering geometry, Hudy says their forward holes are sharper and ae's shows their rear holes are sharper.
