I use the following kit to rebuild my diffs and it comes with very small shims (washers) that I don't have in my original build. Should I be putting the in somewhere or leave them out because they are used in a different model?

Also, I have a lot of problems with the center differential with the gear mesh when I tighten the screws all the way. If I leave them loose to the point it leaks, then the gears are nice and smooth. This last time I built it, I put two of the gaskets on to space it out and it works nicely. This has been a problem since it was new. It's not because it's worn.

The 2.0 comes with updated HD diff cases. That diff case came with a thicker gasket for better seal. We don't use the small washers with the HD diff case as well. You basically got a the "1.0" rebuild kit for the original diffs. Not bad just not "updated"

Has anyone installed the rx-box (TLR241004) from the 3.0E in this truck?

Just curious to know if the box takes out the right nerf-bar. Would be nice to have a rx-box for those wet race days...

Thanks.

What would be the correct part number for the 2.0 rebuild kits? I've just been buying new diff cups when they start to leak. It's only a few extra bucks for the whole thing but just seals is probably all that's needed.

Diff gears are same part number as what you bought. There was a running change but the part number stayed the same.

Buddy and me did it, If your willing to Loose the whole Side guard when running the box then you'll be fine, If you want to keep the Side guard you have to do some rather intensive dremeling. It can be done and still look pretty, Just takes some time and effort to do so.

Shoegoo on the seams to prevent Dirt from falling/Jamming under the tray.

So you are leaving out the shim behind the little cross pin then?!

Cool new truck. I still like my 2.0. It smokes almost everything at my local track.

Just finished tuning the truck up for racing tomorrow night. Fitted the new jconcepts hi flo and had to trim 3/8" out of the front fenders to get the suspension free movement. It's a nice heavy body but just doesn't fit right. I believe I will be sticking to the factory Losi body from here on out. It may be somewhat thin but mine has lasted better than I expected and fits without question.

Also wondering if anybody else has had trouble with the rear camber. I'm running the rear camber links as short as I can get them (inside hole on the hub and lower outside hole on tower) and I can only get about a half a degree of negative camber before the turnbuckle bottoms out in the rod end and binds up. Am I doing something wrong or was the truck not designed to run this kind of a setup on it? Maybe I should move in a hole on the tower and leave it in the inner hole on the hub since that move is not as drastic as moving to the outer hole in the hub

You can either trim the turnbuckles down a couple mm or swap them with the steering ones which are shorter.

We don't typically run that short a rear camber link. You would need shorter tierods to run that link position. Not uncommon to run into this type of problem running the longest or shortest camber link positions. You end up running out of adjustment in the lniks.
