You are probably better served with a different brand spur. Their pinions on the other hand are excellent.

Hi all,
I noticed there are other updates for the FFG system with the release of AM43-1 and AM44-1. How are they different from AM43 and AM44?
Oleg, do you plan to do other updated parts for the FFG?
Thanks in advance,
G-rem

Updated Raceberry chassis? Or new Awesomatix one 
I suppose Freddy is using a central stiffner, I hope we will have more detailled pictures during the weekend
Speaking of updated parts, may I re-ask my questions ;-)

I have been running modified lately and stuffed up my gd1 diff. Crown gear loosen itselft and also internal plastic gears stripped. I still can't justify ordering gd2 diff so will try to fix my gd1 and also have another spare gd1. I remember before the spec-r internal carbon gears fits. Can anyone confirm this.

GD2 + Shepherd Gears
Just had a chance to build up 2 new GD2 with the Shepherd Gear set.
I was surprised how much fitting was needed to get a super smooth diff action.
Normally standard fare to smooth sand the backs of gears but this is what I needed to do to get the Shepherd to work well:
Difference in experience?

Normally standard fare to smooth sand the backs of gears but this is what I needed to do to get the Shepherd to work well:
- Removed the shims behind the small gears
- Sand the backs of the small gears
- Sand the fronts/backs of the big gears
- Wire brush out the teeth of the big gears
- Fill and bleed with the shock pump

An Awesomatix driven by Jamison Reichard takes podium on it's first race in a pack of XRays. He placed third in a battle that came down to the last turn.

I thought of that after ordering some AM19 to try an outdoor setup.
I know it was already talk about but just to be certain on the top deck screws setting a white dot mean something screwed without any ST09 and a red dot no screw or something with a ST09 under?
Thanks!

From the Shephard gear package - did you used the single big flat washer behind the big gear or the Xray part?
I used the washer from the Shephard package as it was washer for backing the ST31. The GD2 kit doesn't come with that washer.
