Is there a website for CRC?

come to green bay there will be two there....

i would but it wouldnt be worth the trip two see two cars since im not able to race.

fried diff- Did you try and spray out your bearings and then relube them with thin oil? What part can't you get tight? Is it the 4-40 screw that screws into the ball or the 2-56 screws in the socket?

Preston-check out the Snowbirds race page on the 1st page of RC tech. There should be a couple of pictures of Ron Atomic's car in there.

Best Bearings- I've had really good luck with the rc4less ceramics. A little expensive but they spin really free and last a long time. For the outer hub (thrust) bearing in the diff you may just want to buy a bunch of cheap ones, since you will be changing those regularly.

I'm trying ceramic diff balls right now (also from RC4less) and are really liking them. Super smooth and a long time between rebuilds. I've heard rumors that ceramic balls shorten the life of the rings, but I haven't seen any of that yet. The cost is quite a bit more expensive than normal steel balls, so you have to decide if the extra cost is worth it to you.

If you're having troubles tightening up the pivot ball to it's socket using the 2-56 screws you can sand a little material off of the bottom socket where it touches the top one. Be careful not to remove too much or the pivot ball will bind.

thanks brian

quick question before i order online.


will trc front tires fit the rc12l3? i know the crc tires dont.

Lazy, check out the website for CEFX. Just click here. :)

CRC tires work, I'm running some now, you just need to space them a little different. For TRC tires you will need to get some flanged bearings.


take care

john, so only jaco tires are direct fit?

I have a brand new T_Fource and it does the same thing.I bought some irs tplate balls and some new associated plastic pieces that tighten around the balls.I am hoping that it works will find out tomorrow.

I have one bad bearing in my 3.2 and I used the stock diff with great success. It is nicer than the IRS.

Thats my .02

Well, I just really really pushed really really hard on the top of the pillow ball and I got it as tight as possible like that and it seems fine.. Guess we'll see! Anyway, as for diff balls... Should I get some??



I am using stock diff! I have switched around all the bearings in the rear to get the quietest combination.. all sound like a couple grains of sand are in the bearings...



Where can I pick up very high quality 1/8" ceramic diff balls?
