Scott, truck looks killer!
Hahahha I ran it on Sunday! I did use your body though hahhaha Rich brought me my body on Sunday so I didn't have time to Shoe goo the wheel wells and areas around the body post holes etc. So I didn't want to ruin it in one run lol But I ran the truck! See you on Saturday?

this is for the diff experts. im not complaining first of all.. lol
im getting ready to rebuild my diff. one of the thrust washers on the center screw disinigrated after about 5 race days and 5 practice days (20 battery packs) on my very 1st run it was too loose and barked a couple of times, would this cause this or should i look for another cause.... my last race it would work good for about the 1st minute then it acted like a loose slipper. it did this everytime i put it on the track, i kept tightening the slipper, then figured it out that is was the diff. tightened it 1/2 turn. the tires would free spin about 1/2 to 3/4 turn when bench testing it... then blew after 1 lap. the disc and gear balls look perfect.. i did the matt castialano vidio build and breakin....
thanks for your input....

I had the same thing happen on my 22T on my first race night. Not sure why but I replaced it and still running great on the new one! These diffs are tricky and need to be run a lot tighter than any other dif I have ever had. BUT that being said they are also great vehicles! Still drooling over my 22SCT sitting at my work table in the box. 12 hour shifts suck!
the kit im using is tlr2962 and the stock center nut was 1 piece and the one that came in the kit has a nylock nut that fits into the outdrive plastic nut holder. stock #tlr2946 in the manual ( 1 piece construction ) and the one in the kit is 2 pieces. also im using B-Fast pro diff lube... has anyone else tried this diff lube ?
ya, I love the sct22 handle like a dream.. a couple of us got them right away and now some of the hardcore AE guys have switched to losi. i should have backed off a few times racing so they didnt go so fast LOL. now i have to beat other 22's LOL

2 hole pistons
For those that are interested, the new AE 12mm pistons are a perfect fit for the 22 platform shocks. Many are converting the existing pistons to the two hole versions with CA and kicker. I did this as well until I took a chance with these. They have two holes and come in the three sizes most are making/using (1.5, 1.6, 1.7). Each set has 4 of each size. All for around 4 dollars. One more benefit... The flashing is attached at the top of the piston and not the side. This makes it easier to install without having to prep or smooth out the side. Here's the part number ASC91308. I got three sets @ Nitro House. Good luck.
