The diff stickers work great for me and I am racing carpet now. Anything that helps keep my diff working longer is a good thing so I think everybody should give them a try and see for your self.

I think once you get all of it, cost you at least $100.
What I use for a spare set of Shocks are the ones from HPI. They run a small cap, but effectively they are the same in how they feel and function. I can't remember where I got mine, but Speedtech have them listed for $34US (but out of stock).

that is for a pair of HPI shocks, there about $38 and you dont get aluminum spring pirches, or aluminum shock bushings, nor do you get titanium shock shafts. After you get those parts and 2 sets of these your at about $130.

Marcos, remind me to give you some to try...LOL.
good ole ASM. How have you been bro? I haven't talked to you in a while. I'll see if Michael Bruce has it in stock along with some other things. I don't want to pay to ship just a small thing of lube.....but if it works then hey....ship it away!

If it wasn't such a pain, I'd tear it down again and try a used (stretched) stock belt maybe. Overall though, it's alot easier to deal with the 2.16 ratio for brushless. I also run regularly on a smallish carpet track with foams.
I heard that the newer belts for the 18tooth pulley seem a bit too long. I'm mostly running mod some I don't need to run the lower gear ratio's but I may run 19turn every now and then and Hope I can hit the 5.2 ratio I like running the 10.5 at. Are people having problems with ratio's with the regular pulley?

Hey man everything is good....mostly just raising kids. Can you say 3 in college...with one more to go!! It's good to see you on the same thread. Remember those "old" schumacher days?

I have the new pulleys and belts and ran them for the first time last week-end. It was nice to be able to back down on the pinion size. Personally, I'm NOT finding any issues with belt length. Mine actually seemed to fit real nice.
