What do I stand to benefit by lowering the diff fluid up front now?

I guess wit the exotek locker, the truck pushes more, just like adding in the c diff. So you go lighter.

soooo. I just spent 1.5 hours changing the shims in my front diff...........I will never change diff fluid at the track, this is kinda retarded. With practice I am sure I would get faster and with a power screw driver even faster. But wowzers. Anyway. The .5mm seemed to fit fine. But truth be told the original shims seemed pretty tight. No metal in my diff and near excessive wear that I could see. The .5mm shim fit fine. Maybe a tad tight. I think .4mm is probably the sweet spot. but the .5mm went in easy mode. No binding that I could see and the front wheels spun free without the belt attached. I am not motivated to do the rear diff tonight, I will do it when I change the diff fluid, lol.

Gotta say that this truck is ok but nothing close to awesome in my opinion.
1. No need to set drag brake. The drivetrain has it built in.
the belt wears in just like any other belt and at that point there is very little drag
2. Working on this truck is a total nitemare. I can handle it but if you need to change most of anything at the track, it would be awful. As a secondary class, it could be a bit easier.
Thats what everyone thinks when they first got the truck, me included, i can get to any of the difs in less than 5minutes, its really simple once you get used to it
3. To many slipper adjustments. For performance, you tune with fluid, not pads and springs. The VTS made a great improvement but gesh.
the Slipper is a huge pain i agree, which is why i designed a center dif!!
4. I'm not a fan boy nor will I jump up and down for any vehicle made but I gotta wonder what in the samuel hell the designer was thinking on this one.

She seems to drive pretty well and I have been enjoying the results from it but I can see an easier way to build a corr truck.

behind the front wheels and in front of the rear wheels

So essentially at the lowest part of the chassis in front and rear. I guess you would say where the turn up begins on each side?

Wondering if anyone uses the inner body for the sc 4x4?
Is it a good idea or is there temp issues with esc motor?

it is ok for loose tracks or bashing, but heat might be an issue. Watch your temps using it it.

You may want the outerwears filter / cover thing instead. Lets it breath but keeps a lot of the crap off from what people say. Its up there in price, but, from what I have seen on other vehicles I have had with it, its definitely worth a look.

samuelsonmark71 07-17-2012 07:39 AM

Im looking at getting one come summer time next year. A great deal of the outdoor tracks in MI get a lot of crap inside the truck, hence a demand for the covers. Im just trying to think of a way to mod one to work with my 2wd SC (X-Factory SCX-60 CF).

Wildcat1971 07-17-2012 07:44 AM

I have to dump all the small rocks out of my truck after every heat at my outdoor track. I almost contemplated something like that, but I worry about heat.

samuelsonmark71 07-17-2012 07:47 AM

The outterwear covers are just like the covers that are made for the shocks on ATVs. They velcro on and keep everything out minus the air, heat is less of an issue with them than it is with the lexan covers

Wildcat1971 07-17-2012 07:52 AM

lol, I just looked them up......Looks like a mesh bag over the car. But it would keep out those nasty rocks.

I use one on mine and it works pretty well. Takes some extra trimming to get it to fit over the FT center brace. I have a fan mounted above my motor and the cover doesn't actually cover it with the way everything is laid out in my truck.

Posted this a week or so ago but I use this when I'm running outdoors. Obviously it does not keep everything out, but it cuts the crud way down, does not restrict cooling air flow and costs $0.
Left over lexan from a new body.
