if you are running one-way use 4mm if using spool use 2mm

Is part 70733 included in the kit? you know, the thing that bolts to the spur gear which bolts to the gear hub?

Thanks!

Actually, the square ones don't fit. The ball is too big to go into them.

Gar, I hope Hot Bodies helps me out. So far the kit's been a pain. The drivetrain parts are ALL different from the manual.

Go to the Hot Bodies sight and download the manual there. It has the right manual for the kit that you have.

The 70733 comes with the kit. It's a carbon fiber part.

Also the balls are a little tight but snap into place, but move freely.

Into the square holes?

Hmm...mine went together with no issues. Sorry you're having troouble

Yub, yub, cmdr!

Okay, I got that part figured out. Thanks for the help!

This is my first on road car build so I do not know much. My 1/8 buggy went together easily ^_^

I have another question though. Inside the differential, the manual calls for two Z857 1 mm aluminum 5x8 washers. Cyclone Charlie, did your kit have these? I cannot find them for the life of me. If you have them, could you show me a picture of them?

Cyclone Charlie

Forget about the washers. Use 2 of the B020 bearingd instead. These kits are a little confusing. They have some of the newer items incorporated into them, and still have some of the older stuff.

It's like they had a surplus of older stuff and threw into the newer kits to get rid of it.

I'm still going round-and-round with HPI about using the older 3 hole version one-way and discontinuing the A496 pulley.

Skill

There should be an extra bearing supplied with the diff, use this instead of the 2 spacers.

EDIT: Looks like someone beat me to it...

Yub, yub, cmdr!

My final noob question:

Do you guys round the edges of every CF part?
