yes, just get a slapmaster thrust bearing. There is no difference in the axles, only what you put on the end of it.

In the little box on the right that says "refine results", pull down "slapmaster" and you will find a few different ones.

Thank you for the responses gentlemen. One more quick question as I want to be certain to order the right one. For a CRC Gen-XL with a CRC spur that uses 3/32" diff balls instead of 6 to 12 1/8" diff balls; would I need the Slapmaster thrust bearing kit #101 or #109? Your help is appreciated.

Email Brian and he will set you up, just tell him what you have for an axle.

That thrust bearing is top notch stuff.

+1, Its possible that because that spur is more narrow you might have fitment issues, I'm sure Brin will know what you need for sure.

Yes, that is how their early versions were no switch at all. But the down side of that is that when you plug in the batt the whole system goes live so make sure your radio is on before plugging in the batt.

Default when to adjust timing?

I'm running a 1/12 with Revtech 13.5 boosted on a track that is 70x45 as of right now I'm ay 0 and coming of with a track temp of 121 on average. My gearing is 36 pinon 75 spur. A good starting point would help me out.

Just be aware that there is an alarming trend showing up with the RevTech motors in boost. They do very well with blinky and motor timing, but they're starting to let the magic smoke out when they get highly boosted like more conventional motors.

For a boosted Trinity product, many are moving back to the D3 and using the RevTech for blinky classes.

Man I wish I heard of this before I bought one. I've only had mine for two weeks and ran it only two race nights. It's way better than what I started with (losi 13.5)

Can anyone recommend a good setup with a TEKIN RS. Track is 70x45 with medium + grip with one long straight that goes into a swepper then everything else is mostly technical.

. I'm looking for speed controler setup recommendations. Boost/turbo/throttle profile.
. Gearing
. Timing on Revtech

Thanks for the help.
