Is there a significant advantage in using the Tamiya Gear diff unit over the Spec-R units? I'd like to hear others' experience.

For me the Tamiya Gear Diff Unit II is less leaky, and feels a lot smoother. But gives a bit more wear in the blades.

Less leak, more smooth. I'd put a tamiya diff in the rear and use an old spec r for front diff (if you use it). The spec r is still decent and when using putty/heavy oil, it wont matter much anyways.

What size 64p spur would I be looking at to get roughly a 3.5 FDR that fits well?

Either 82t spur with 48t pinion or 86t spur with 50t pinion

I'm stumped. New to the Tamiya and experiencing an issue with the 416x. This is my 2nd season doing on-road.
Running a Futaba 4pk with my epa set at 120 left and right but I am not even near full lock. On the Hudy setup station I have 15 degrees of steering each way. The steering will go to full lock freely with the radio off. If this is how 416x is, that's fine... or I just need more travel out of the radio (which I don't have).
Here's a couple pics.

Have you tried using a different servo horn that is longer, i.e., making the distance betweenthe servo center and servo link longer for a wider sweep? That can increase your steering angle quite a bit.

I'm using an xray servo saver. I have about .75mm between the link and top deck. I just checked my bros tc6 has about 17 degrees...so its not too far off

It has to be the servo horn since it goes full lock without it. I heard it ran full lock and dual rate down to 80% in the past.

My Xray only has 17* my 416 has 15* with an xray servo saver on it, and i have never had a problem. The car has enough steering already really. If you need more steering when going through a corner you should just make an adjustment to the car to get that little bit extra.

I finally figured it out. I used the tallest hole on the xray servo saver and only running 2mm washers under the center link on the steeing rack. I have a hair over 17deg now.
