I'll check that out, if I keep having issues I'll post up some pictures and videos to better explain the issues I'm having

How much motor timing people usually use with that gear ratio in OCRC?

So far I haven't been able to finish one race day with the car. The first time I raced the front out drives slid off. The second race day the rear out drives slid off. The third race day the front gear diff screws backed out and leaked all over the front belt. It does not say to use loctite on those screws. But now I did. My left rear dog bone still hasn't broke in. And I shouldn't have to dremmel or grind anything on a $399.00 car. I am disappointed in this car. I built the car and followed the video on the out drives and still had a problem.

For the outdrives, if you follow every the steps in the video, everything is solid. I haven't heard of any issues following the steps. I know we have 6 cars at the very high grip Shootout all with gear diffs, and not one outdrive coming loose over 5 days.
For the driveshafts, I totally agree with you. Unfortunately, every sample we tested, ran, built, checked and measured was perfect, even all the driveshafts that came with the team kits ahead of release. It wasn't until the main production we heard of, investigated, and identified to issue. We got new driveshafts, as replacements, in production with a day, and those should be arriving here any day now. Unfortunately, it does take some time to make a steel part like this with different machining processes, heat treat, etching, etc. We could have stopped selling the kits once the issue was identified, but we thought that more TLR consumers would choose to fix the faulty part than wait 3-4 weeks for the cars to ship with the proper parts. It seems like feedback supports this decision as a whole. All we can do is try to make the best decision possible given every factor.
If you were local, I'd be happy to build your diffs for you, show you how I go through them.

It's really important to clean all screws and set screws before applying Loctite, I also clean the hole that the screw is going into(this is on all metal to metal), however I did not apply Loctite to the diffs as the instructions did not call for it..just made them snug with even torque. I double checked the screws in the out drives during and after my first pack and re snugged just for piece of mind...nothing was loose. As for the drive shafts, mine have loosened up nicely, but be assured TLR/horizonhobby has great customer service and will take care of all the folks who have an issue with this. I am very happy with this car and have had most all of the recent 4wd. The car is dialed out of the box and needs very little changes to suit driving preference, I m sure you'll find the same.

I decided to put the aluminum rear hubs on my car and noticed that the bearing slide in and out(about 0.5 mm), like the middle bearing spacer is to wide for the hub. Is this normal or does it need a different spacer?
thanks
thanks

ok thanks, I know what the spacer is supposed to do, I was just questioning the amount of play, when the everything is assembled and tightened down you can move the axle side to side and see the bearing move with axle about 0.5 mm. I would think this would ware the hub carrier after a while.
Thanks
Thanks
