hi guys. i race (or at least trying to race) 17.5. im putting an amain order together and was contemplating the steel gear set for the gear diff. i already have the regular gear diff w 2k kyosho fluid in it and used that red kyosho gear diff seal grease and it leaks like mad still. i think i needed to put the grease in the screw holes perhaps, but havent opened the tranny back up to see, but notice a lot of fluid leaks out the cracks in the tranny case. when i had assembled the gear diff, the red grease did a great job sealing up the diff with exception of the screw holes, which had no grease sealant. anyhow, gear diff runs great despite being messy and i like the fact that it doesnt need constant re-tightening. so was thinking of upgrading to steel gears to bulletproof the thing but am having second thoughts and thinking the 70 bucks or so might better be spent on the mip pucks kit. so steel gear diff or pucks kit? or steal gear diff with mip aluminum cvd kit is another option too however concerned about aluminum cvd wear on steel outdrives. hence thinking pucks kit might be way to go although back to a ball diff. any thoughts? thanks.

Battery Placement
I have a battery placement question I was hoping i could get some info on. I have been runing with the esc back by the motor and the shorty right in front. I see some of you run the short all the way back with the esc up in the front. My wires on my esc are to short at the moment to try it like that.
So with the shorty all the way back does it add slight bit more traction or is it allot more. Thanks.

I had the best luck with the short battery all the way back and the esc above the battery using the battery stop and esc shelf that come with the rt6. Having the esc up higher helps put more load on the outside rear tire in a corner for more side bite.
Problem I ran into is most bodies don't have clearance for the esc. Stock and J-concepts bodies will work if the esc is not too tall, proline gen3 and phantom bodies DON'T have clearance. I have a TRF201X-XR/XM body on the way it looks like it should have a lot of clearance.

Thanks for the help
I couldnt get the esc to fit on the shelf and have clearance under the body well enough, so i just put it flat on the chassis up front by the servo with the shorty back. Looking forward to trying it out soon.

Hello everyone,
Please correct me if I am wrong...the wider the rear and of the car is the better can cope with bumps in the track...right?
