So why not buy some 1.0 diff cases? Do they still make them? And if they do, is it the old plastic formula or the new?

the insert has the potential to spin on the cup side on the 1.0's which isn't favorable.

Hi people...

I was punched in the face today (not literally) by my lhs cuz i don't ever check my camber with a proper camber gauge. Well the question is? Does camber change while running the truck? I thought that the camber links won't unscrew themselves.

no the camber links should not move in a race, losi does not use pillow balls, LOL.

So as long as my camber links are at the length appointed in the manual (F:147.50 mm and R:142mm) i should be with stock camber degrees (F:-1deg and R:-2deg)? I don't have a camber gauge and i don't plan to buy one yet as i am only running stock setup. I have only my trusty caliper.

Just find something with a straight edge: pop can, book, jar, CD case, DVD case, etc.. Then put the straight edge against the outside of the wheel. This will represent close to O° of camber. A setting of 3° will only be 1/4" or 6-7mm measured from the straight edge to the top of the wheel.

Or you could just buy a camber gauge.:lol: They're like 10 bucks. Not really a major investment, but is a major must have tool.;)

Last week during a 30 minute main, my car was acting as if the clutch bearings were failing. When I pulled the bell off, one of my plastic shoes had pulled off the pin. This week I think I had the same problem. I haven't taken it apart yet but it was acting the same way. I don't remember what springs i am running but I am using the "the Best all around setup" ( I think that is how it is listed). 2 alum and 2 plastic. This is the same setup I have been running for over a year. I just switched to a werks B5. I was running a n21bf. Temps were 230 at the end of the race. Any idea why the shoes are breaking? Thanks. One week I was using a Losi bell, the following week I was using a Robinson.

OK, you think its a problem with the clutch and did not pull it off yet? And kept running it?

Are you installing the shoes the correct way?

How long have you been using that particular clutch setup?

Dude you just need to tear it apart, clean up and rebuild.

Racinpig 05-07-2010 01:54 PM

Like I said in the post, it is the same setup I have been running for over a year. I continued and was able to finshed the race. I do check the clutch before the mains. I just does not last the entire 30 minutes.

over a year on a clutch is a long time. If your running stock setup, you should have replaced months ago.

Racinpig 05-07-2010 02:04 PM

Sorry, I didn't know I needed to spell everything out. I always replace the shoes when they measure undersize. ...and don't you think I may have replaced them after the broke? I'm sure there is someone on here that will be able to offer a good solution. Thanks

JAMMINKRAZY 05-07-2010 02:07 PM

My solution.;)
