This is what I'm looking for. Thx

Ball Diff vs Gear Diff: I would really appreciate all input. I run gear diff in my TC. For my RB6, any thoughts on going to gear? - am I correct that SCT gear diff will fit? thank you

you race on carpet correct ? when i used to race on carpet i always ran a ball diff as a matter of fact ball diff is usually the better choice . i will be running my car on a carpet track this coming Saturday . the only thing i will be changing is the shock oil 50 front and 40 rear i have a worn set of mc suburbs i will use .


yes the gear diff will fit if you want to use it .

[QUOTE=Cpt.America;11669425]Nope.. different wheels. Stock Kyosho wheels are money.

If you use the hexes on the B4.1 you can use the same wheels. Or am I missing something?

Aluminum rear hubs and steering rack imo as they are the only things I have broken.

Steering rack just in case, I wouldn't worry about hubs unless you have horrific crashing abilities or are racing in cold cold weather the rack is the only part I've broken that think needs the upgrade.

Go to Speedtech and look at the exotek parts.

Anything else from exotex that requires upgrade? How are the stock shock towers?

I have the aluminum diff nut, steering rack and rear mount.. I have put on the rear mount yet however.

Stock spur is a 76.

The towers are fine and very few dented chassis have been reported.. If so, word is Kyo will replace it.

If you are going to stick with the stock slipper setup, run Kimbrough B4 spur gears, and run the tan colored AE high torque pads.
