Hi
I'm new here to this forum bit have just picked up an et48 and it's a beast. But on my first run out I've cracked a front drive shaft at the pin end that goes into the diff and the pin has come loose. Is this a known problem with these drive shafts. This is not the centre front drive shaft but the steel one going to the wheel.
Thanks

I just wanted to add that this weekend was the first run on my NT48 and I drove it very hard and I just finished going through it getting it ready for next weekend and both front axles are still good to go, no cracks in these shafts. Hopefully it was indeed just a bad batch somehow.

I'm hoping to make it out for a little practice Thursday night and then do our local club race Saturday. We'll see how it feels on a better prepped track.

I finally changed mine to 10/15/5 a week or so ago. I've only had it out once since then and the track was very dry with loose dirt and low traction. Sure seemed like I had more steering and tighter turning radius than the last time I ran it on similar track conditions though.

What are people generally using for springs/oil in their shocks? I am running stock set-up here too buy would like to experiment!

I'm running either 10/15/5 or 20/15/5 can't remember, but really looking for more slow corner rotation and/or steering coming out of the corner. I'm really having to throw the rear end into the turn coming to get it to come around. I'm tempted to try 3 in the rear but seems really low for such big tires.

I am currently using 10/10/5 diff fluid and 47.5-37.5 (stock pistons) shock fluid and It works very well.
Mizchief, if you need both exit and slow speed steering a diff oil change may not be what you need. Try moving your front inner link up on the tower and see if that helps at all for you.
