I run them on the ebuggy when the sun goes down and the track has more moisture where normally run gridirons or something similar during the day when it's dryer.

Our indoor track is pretty much slicks all the time now, but when the track is more green and softer dirt webs are the go to.

Very slowly started on the Lite. I built the shocks first with a set X of rings and a set of Imbue brass shock pistons. I wanted to try the pistons out. Other than that I'm really going to go box stock even though I have pucks, ti screws, ti axles, slipper eliminator, ti ballstuds, etc etc waiting for the car. Looking through the kit I'm really impressed. There are some small things that make a big difference (to me). For example, they give you an older style FT 2 plate slipper and a 69 spur. It also comes with white/white springs and 32.5 oil which should be perfect. They really made it so that you could run it out of the box.

The case included with the conversion is #91552 which takes a 5x10mm bearing on either end as well as the new V2 aluminum top shaft.
i contacted associated and they're sending me the correct gear case. thanks for the help

Did it come with new oil bottle?

Yes, new bottle. As a matter of fact it has a flip top like a Losi bottle and it also says 388 CST on it. I didn't think much about it.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but Associated has released new shorter outdrives for the gear diff. About 1.5mm.

This was to eliminate the out drive cutting through the CVA bones at high compression.

I've got a full ball diff, still in the original plastic bags, from my T5M kit since I went with a gear diff from the start. You can have it.

I'll take it all with me to the track Sunday or you can PM me if you need them sooner to be ready for the race this weekend. I don't recognize your user name but I always set up my pit table across the track from the drivers stand and I run the three cars that are orange on top and blue on the bottom.

Assuming you race indoors with us rather than at Wildflower. I only live 10 minutes from either track so just let me know.

7677 is the correct kit. I just rebuilt one last week with it. The diff balls 6581 are a separate part number as well as the diff gear itself 91419.



manuals, manuals, manuals.

Just looked through the manual and the kit does not include wheels. I'm sorry that you got jacked on all the other stuff. I guess that's the price of buying one of the first kits.
