If that knuckle is designed for the M03M or M05 style C-hub then you can use either 50882 or 54237.

Whats the best oil for the 3 Racing sealed diff? I have some 300,000wt is that too thick? I still want some steering!

300000 or even 500000wt is being used with great success

Cheers, I'll put some 300k in!

nice, I still haven't been able to decide what fwd chassis to go with. Its not a question of rules, but of witch ever one sounds like the best to me

badboy 09-08-2011 06:06 AM

M05 or M06?
 
Which will be better for a technical carpet track using tamiya type m or type a tires only? Motor is a 18t tamiya sensorless while batt is tamiya life.

Thanks.

the MuchMore and Shumacher silicone greases are meant to provide loose diff action without having them balls slipping. The AW was never meant for usage in a ball diff but FWD requires so. Ball diff gives a 'thick' feel thereafter.

We came, we saw, we conquered - or in some cases it conquered us. Velodrome 2011. Does YOUR mini do 80km/h?

Check out some teaser footage here (because it'll take me a few weeks to edit and sort out the main footage)

+ YouTube Video

So who won? Anyone past 100km/h? :D

You guys drove really well for having so many cars at that speed.

COOL

1st thing i thought was CARNAGE !!!! but you guys are better mini drivers than us , we crash with only silvercans hahaha

tony gray 09-10-2011 03:19 PM

Nobody WON as such. We don't even bother with timing at the moment, we just get out and play...

Tims mega car had been modified from last time and was nowhere near as stable so he didn't top his 100km/h mark from last time. But next time.....

It's easier than you think to avoid the huge crashes, the track is very wide and 250 metres around, so there's a lot of room

I tried to pick up in some frame grabs what I could see happening in real time. Although I wasn't entirely successful.
This is Tony P driving my car (I was filming) and he was coming out of the turns with the car at 45 degrees sometimes. But you just keep it pegged and it straightens out....usually
