Hello everybody!
I wanted to know if anyone of you tried to put on 1/8 buggy tires on the 4x4. I would like to because I have so many of those tires here. |

I know what changing the rear diff fluid will do as far as drive ability goes. What changes am i going to see with changing front fluid. The main reason I'm changing the front fluid is out of sheer curiosity. |

yes Francois i went back to the 20t, it seems that the 19t make the front end pull harder through the turns, in effect making the rear end swing out easyer, but the overdrive helps it straighten out easyer. Very smooth throttle imputs, rolling on and off power seems to be the way to drive it.
It seems that I was able to get the push to go away by going thicker with the front diff fluid and also stabilize the rear on the transitions by switching back to the 20t pulley. Current Setup: http://imgur.com/reyZz *Special Note: Ride height may vary with tire selection. Front ride height arms level and rear ride height arms slightly below level after pressing chassis to ground with battery and body. |
I hit an exposed edge on the back straight of my local track at full speed, and had a similar failure, truck kept running, but the inner rear "leg" was crushed toward the front about 0.5cm and the hinge pin was bent.
Luckily A-main had spares and none of the local shops have parts yet. You guys Might want to pick up a spare set of Front A-arm and hinge pins. Other than that, the truck has been pretty bulletproof!

You can see the crush in the bolt hole here http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z...r/P6270117.jpg and it bent at the tip of the scribe here http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z...r/P6270118.jpg I am used to breaking arms, hopefully replacing it and installing the sway bar will prevent it in the future. |
WHAT SPACERS (PART # PLEASE) ARE YOU GUYS USING FOR UNDER THE BALL STUDS?

I used to use the 31286, but have switched to the 4617 shims. It provides a bit more surface area, and helps prevent the ballstud from bending if you have a hard impact.
I was actually kind of wondering about that whole surface area thing... Thanks for the update Chris, and thanks for the timing too! I'm going to have fun with this! (btw...she knows I'm kidding...we tease each other like that all the time. Gotta love exes that get into the same hobbies that you do.) |
