Camber links too long to work if you are running the 8mm mod. Screwing too far into the ballcups, pushing into center, causing ball cups to bind and not move freely while on stud...
I discovered this when trying to adjust ride height, suspension was binding and not moving freely.
We found you either need a shorter link. Cut it or fork over some $$ for shorter ones.


I didnt actually run into this problem which leaves me wondering if I missed something. I did like the set up as I ran it at WCRC and it worked well for me. But the binding and not moving freely on the ballstud on the camber links is something I didnt notice

I noticed it on one side of the truck. I must have slightly more camber on that side.

If you used the standard rear camber rod for the back and adjusted the ball ends to fit as the set-up show's ?

Check inside the ball cups, will show a small round dent on the inside where the camber rod punch though ....

Solution

buy shorter camber rod or trim & some new ball cups ....

me personally would not pay 60 bucks for a center diff.. thats just me tho.. and what exactly does this thing do? and how often do you have to change the balls out?


Don't buy it then, forget about what it does, and if your not buying then no need to worry about maintaining it....

Exotek does not do the same thing. Half of the equation is still slipping.

A majority of my driving is done at WCRC. WCRC is where I drove it when I first changed to the C-Diff... there was a difference.

Nobody "needs" a C-Diff, it just applies the power differently than the slipper. You may or may not like it, I did.

I think the general consensus here will be no.

Can you? Where there's a will, there's a way.

Should you? No. For multiple reasons.

falconsekido.com , they are the new HW supplier and trust me their customer service is 100% better then hobbypartz...... It's HW's 3656 4pole 4000kv motor, they offer them in 4700 and 3400kv as well. Either tomorrow or Sunday will be my first day to test the motor out to compare it to others. Also reinstalling my V2 diff to give it another go as well.....

You would have to glue it or screw it into a perfectly good racing rim like the hazard and (respectively) it will fall off or compromise the integrity of the rim.

I guess if looks and realism is what your looking for, get real beadlocks. But you won't find +3mm beadlocks and they will be heavy and not a race rim. Compromise.
