You'll need:

Wishbones - get the graphite ones

Steering Arms - get the alloy ones

C - carriers/rear hubcarriers - get the H or G versions

King Pins

Also, it's wise to machine the driveshafts to prevent the the CVD joint form seizing.

Set-up the transmission EXACTLY as it states in the manual. The mesh needs to be bedded-in first. If it's really 'free' before you've even run the car, you may damage the transmission when you hit something. Remember - your TC3's tranny has been used for a season already, so that's why it feels nice and free in comparison to your new car. However, if you want to reduce friction in your SD, remove the grease from the bearings and use WD40 thin oil instead. Within a couple of races, your SD will be super free.

I've posted this earlier.

when it comes to mould machines, they costs between £4-20000, a mould for example gearcases costs about £6000.. (i have some experience with this and know the prices roughly) the material costs nothing, so if you are going to do a big production then a mould is a cheap thing in the long run..

How is the CMG on carpet with rubber tires BTW? compared to the SSG and Black graphite car.. I`m looking to get a SD, but not sure of what model to buy..

I have MIP CVDs front and rear and don't experience any binding. I am also using the pins that came with the car and not the MIP ones.

They do fit fine. No mods necessary.

Didn't think so, but 1 person seems to be having the problem.

I'd check and make sure the bearings are pushed all the way into the hub.

Thanks for the replies on the MIPs, guys. Maybe its only guys named Jeff that have this problem.....at least I am not alone.

I checked the hubs for bearing seating. No flash and the bearings were pressed in tight. I had the same issue on both sides and I was also using the pins from the kit. More investigation is obviously necessary.

I'm not really sure the he is experiencing the binding. When you tighten the wheelnuts, it is the EZ hub hex that is pushing up against the wheel. For the axle to be "pulled" against the inner bearing or the hex to be "pushed" against the outer bearing, something must not be seated right just like Rand had suggested.

forty6

Maybe so...three people are having the same problem, you, yourself and Jeff. j/k.

But seriously though, are you using the kit wheels? If not, check if your wheels are causing the bind.

One more thing, I am not using the O-rings for the front outdrives.

Rebuilding my SD for the first time (bought allready assembled) and Im getting binding on the rear of the car (its the only thing installed thus far. It is like the diff gears is rubbing on the case. I have three shims on the small gear. I've walked away three times and come back to it with the same results. The front is fine so I know im just missing something simple. Thanks!

I dont think it's possible for the diff to rub on the cases, so it might be something else. Check for unusual wear on all the rotating parts, hopefully that will lead you to the fix.

if you have the swaybar mounts installed, check the screws that holds the right mount....could be touching the diff gear inside the case..

JohnnyRingo

The drive gear is not going into the case far enough. The bearings are not seating into the diff case properly.

then it is the bearing that the 'bevel gear' rides on...this bearing needs to be seated into the case properly..
