Ian, No i just went to my local shop, asked for a Lunsford list and found the length i wanted. They came in singles. Aprox £3.75 each i think.

Default Diff Rebuilding...

Hi All...my buddy and I both have Axis 2's, and are wanting to rebuild the diffs. In the manual is states to tighten the diff up until "diff action is achieved" then it says to tighten 1 5/8 turns...
is this supposed to be 1 AND 5/8ths turns, or just 5/8ths of A turn...??? Seems like a stupid question, but my dad taught me the only stupid question is one that wasn't asked!

Thanks all!

Ron

1 and five-eights of a turn would be my choice. That sounds about right for most diff rebuild instruction.

it is 1 full turn plus 5/8 more in the directions, but in my opinion this always resulted in a diff that was a little too tight. When I rebuilt I tightened until you couldn't turn the diff gear while holding the diff halves, which is about 1 and 1/4 or so turns, then run it a pack or two and check to see if it loosened up...gives a smoother diff that lasts longer between rebuilds...

Can someone share or point to a Mission setup suitable for a dusty concrete track, quite low grip? I'm using Take off rubber tyres, A-special WC compound.

Bagofskill- Try around page 26 or so. Somewhere aroung that page number Adrian posted 3 setups. Start with the med/low traction one and work from there. Thats where I started and it was GOOD, but I changed things that seemed to suit me better.

Adrian, you'd posted this a couple of months back for the Mission, and I was wondering if it would work under the same track conditions on the Axis2 as well?

Thanks!

Darkside-We have to assume that people are going to beat the crap out of their cars. As a result we have to build in extra safetly margins like not counter sinking too deep. A lot of people counter sink their chassis more than stock and have no problems. We build a durable car an leave it up to the racers to decide if they need to do this. To be honest though, I don't think I have ever lost a race due to screw drag...LOL!
