Servo - I have two s9550, there fine. I've been told before that the 2413 is just an OEM version of the s9550... but I'm not too sure about the truth regarding that.
Batts - 3200LiPo should do fine... you'll have more than enough capacity in it and power in it. Was looking at getting one myself a while back.
ESC - MRT MX Very good (british) ESC... new Team version (better spec fets, more setup options) is out very soon. You can also get custom built ones, in the colours you want

Have a look in the UK racers thread here on rcTech (you'll find it in the Racing forum), I'm sure there'll be some one around who can help with the zapping.

Hey Guy's
Are the Orion GP Matched 4300 V-Max Plus RDS cells any good. Are they as good or better than 4200.
Thanks Guy's

Two options with new rubber...

1) apply additive from new, and hit the track in practise to bed the tyres in.
2) if going straight into Q or finals, take a dremel and rub off the bead in the centre of the tyres. Then additive.

Thats what I do at least

Hi guys,
I have a recurring problem with my Rear Diff, it keeps coming loose after say 10 runs and usually I tighten it all the way in hand tight and loosen about 1 turn. What do I need to do to make it stay fit longer ? Or is this a common thing for aluminium diffs ?
Regards to all,
John

One thing is to never ever tighten fully then back off, it weakens the screw with the extra strain say the HB people...they should know . I'd replace the diff plates or sand them, replace the nut and spring. Just tighten so when you have 2 allen drivers through the diff outdrives you can't rotate the pulley. Check in the car by holding one wheel and the spur then try and rotate the other wheel. If you can rotate it tighten it

Hey John
Charles gave me the same advice a few months ago and I have not had any trouble. I run modified and my diff was doing the same as you. I did as Charles said and also changed my bearings. Useing the 2 allen key's is a great concept. My diff's DO NOT come loose now at all, and every time I rebuild them i use Charles method and I don't have any problem's anymore.

Anyone know if Precision RC still actively selling stuff?


I emailed both accounts that I know of:

[email protected] on Jan. 22nd
[email protected] on Jan. 25th


also put info into the "contact us page" (Jan 25th) and filled out all the fields for checking stock on MRE parts. I wanted to make sure before ordering. Do they stock the parts that are on the website that you can put in the shopping cart?

Anybody dealt with him since the new year and received their order? I have had 2 good dealings with them in the past.

chris_morrison_

they have an live inventory
and so if it goes into your cart it is in stock

i just got $330 worth of parts from the last week

Don't bother replacing them... take some 600 or 800 grit wet and dry, and sand them until the groove is gone. I do this to all new plates as well, as a slightly scuffed surface grips the balls better. Means you can get the same action, for less pressure in the diff...
Also, I use ACER ceramic balls... and with these two methods my diffs stay smooth for ages, I don't think I've rebuilt the diff in my evo for months now, still smooth as you like
