I'm not needing to do a diff rebuild yet, but do you guys change the diff balls with each rebuild or do you just clean and reuse a couple times?

Can you post some pics?

Interested on what opinions are out there on anti squat. I've heard a lot of B5m setups are running 1 degree or 0. I'm currently running 2. I know some that were actually running pro-squat on their c4's. We run on a high bite technical track.

Thanks for the info... It was hard to believe that there was a 111 gram difference between the wolf pack shorty and the square. Surprised amain and tower have it listed at 318

Don't replace balls. Flip diff rings and sand till flat. and flip thrust washers. Clean and reapply grease.

C'mon man i don't know why you all expect perfection from these kits. Some are tight in one place then others. Transmissions. Steering components, arms they are susceptible to some degree of bind. It's called hand fitting and making it smooth. It doesn't just happen. All the kits losi, xRay, Durango come with some degree of hand fitting. It's part of the process.
All the kits I have ever built required it. From 12th scale to all the b kits. To 8th scale. Just like you said it will get looser as you run it. Why does it warrant a complaint. Put a b4.2 together and see how bad it was. This car is butta compared to the b4.2. Jump all over me guys I can take it.

Because the b4 series is standard and the b5 is metric
