Last nite I cycled my suspension trying to see if I could create more upward travel on my sct410 by checking to see if the dogbones touched the outdrives. I ended up using only 2 o rings up front and was still safe, now I have about 2 mm more suspension down travel, I'll let you know if it ends up touch on the track.

So swapping them drops to 2.5 degree id think. But would that be a weird setups with the arms at 3.5 and the hubs angling back?

I would like .5 hubs to achieve 3.0 degrees of total toe.

I thought tekno posted up that the orings weren't for up travel but more for body roll

Yeah I Dont think flipping the hubs would be good at all, you will sacrifice too much negative toe. Im running 3.5 toe with the hubs pushed all the way back like a losi setup. I just need 3.0 of total toe now..

Just wanting to check, you have the diff installed so that the spur gear is closer to the front of the truck, right? It will go in either way, but standard pinions will only reach if the spur is in the front. The rear position is for long shank pinions and clutch options.

And if you use long shanks or the clutch setup, you need to use the steel spur gear or welcome to shred city.

Though, I am curious, is it the flex in the rear diff mount since its plastic and hence, if using the alloy version would it be an issue anymore?

Big Thank-you SIR!!!

Pro-line Renegades will work with minor mods? correct? :)

Pro line Renegades will work with no mods. Renegade Beadlocks will work too.

The rear outer adjusts your toe angle in 1 degree increments from .5 degrees up to 4.5 degrees. (That is in conjunction with the hub carrier, which has a built in toe angle of 1 degree)
Excluding the rear hub, the hinge pin holders set the car to have 1.5, 2.5, or 3.5 degrees of toe. The numbers below are based on that. Add or subtract one degree based on how you install the rear hubs.
Looking at the picture, the top option is 1.5 degrees of toe-in, the middle is 2.5, and the bottom is 3.5.

Maybe I should restate. I have that printed out in my box. So if I flip +1 hubs its make them -1? So deduct 2 deg from what it states with running +1"s?

Thanks

Ive been running only two orings as well. Works really good!

[QUOTE=Cain;11844306]And if you use long shanks or the clutch setup, you need to use the steel spur gear or welcome to shred city.

I'm curious why the long pinion would need a steel spur?

Cain 02-21-2013 10:58 AM

From what I recall, the mesh can change with the flex, and this is more prevalent with the long shank / clutch setups. Again, just from what I recall, and, after having the nice white puff of the spur gear on the EB48 at least, you will want to do that if you use long shanks (and tekno recommends it too from what I recall).

If running standards though no worries from what I understand. I went ahead and put steel on both my vehicles just for piece of mind.

It does look like it's been cut to me too.

I definitely prefer to not use long shank pinions unless it's a must. I like the ability to take away the back two braces and not worry about my gear mesh getting messed up due to flex. Still going to keep a couple extra spurs with me at all times just in case though....:nod:
