How many gear do you have in your diff ?

And do you think that the 2.5mm chassis, will be more stable on carpet than the 2.25 ?

I use two gears in my diff. I think the 2.5 might have a little more steering, but I have not tested it.

I bought this first time as i thought it was great value as i needed the extra satellite gears to run a 4 gear diff. This is the part number for the o rings SER-804200

i have not yet tried the 4 beval gears in my rear diff yet but i thin, i might have to give it a shot next time a go racing and see what the difference is.
when the cars going good its hard to make a change i think.
i like the fact you put it down and pull the trigger and know yor car is going to good

when using 4 gears, drop your oil. i found 4 gears and 800cst was ok. 600cst was the go.

The car feels very edgy, a hair to much for me. Would increasing the cst in the rear gear diff help that? By this I mean take away alittle of the twitchyness? I love the fact when a car can have to much steering.. Better than trying to find it. Also looking for some direction on shock oil low to medium grip carpet...stock springs(orange/yellow)..do they sell the swaybar bushing on a tree for all the sways? Got a 1.2 for the rear but I have no bushing..

First thing to do is get rid of the front arm sweep, go 2.0 - 2.0 front mounts to start with. It really makes the car way less twitchy. For me, going to lighter springs also helped.

Have you thought about cleaning out your bearings? Joe wanted to know.
