Anyone trying the Traxxas X-Maxx Differential Oil 20,000,000 for the front diff? I have some Green Grease I was going to try in the rear diff. I have been using it in my daughter's WLToys monster truck and it has nice, smooth action. I have Tamiya AW grease, but it's only the smallest of tubes, no where near enough for a differential. How much grease does one use in the shocks? Anything else that needs grease?

Long and slow I use a slave motor to break in 2v.
Have a fan blowing on it.
I rotate the motor to polish all sides of bushings, roughly every hour or so.
Usually when the motor is sounding loud you need to add bushing oil.
When the brushes are seated, motor cool, I spray out the motor really good and use a dental pick to clean the slots between the com plates. I might slave run another 20 min to make sure the plate edges are smooth after picking.

The answer 16-20 hours Or 2 days.

Don't have to baby sit it just don't let the bushings dry out.

I turned it off.

Found when I'm a heated battle I would double tap the brakes causing an unexpected wheel lock or reverse.

For practice with no reverse just makes you drive better and allows you to get your daily steps in.

New Benz semi looking real trick. A little disappointed that they didn't include a bearing kit for any new upgrades with the new release. But that is Tamiya. Well anybody has any more tricks or upgrades I'll be watching! Later guys and gals! Mess

Not sure if it has been covered in this thread, but DO NOT use acetone to remove tires from the wheels. The wheels literally disappear before your eyes.

I did boil them first for about an hour. No success like with most glue. I use ZAP medium CA which is always hard to remove, even in acetone. Never dreamed the wheels would end up looking like a Salvador Dali painting. On a positive note, it appears the tires were not affected like some are.

Freeze them so the glue becomes brittle?

Has anyone had a chance to paint up the new Mercedes body? I just bought the kit and wondered if it is pretty much the same as all the other bodies to paint/detail.

On cheaper wheels yes, I have had good success with name brand not melting, also took my advice from this dude.

Anyone have a problem with the center driveshaft flexing at high speed and rubbing the chassis? It's making a clicking noise as it hits the chassis at the end of the straight and when free revving. Wondering if it's something I did wrong in rebuilding, or if the driveshaft just needs to be replaced. I take it the aluminum replacement is not legal for euro truck classes.
