drive train felt smooth.. no complaints.
a little noisy, more like "chimes".. but i always figured it was my CB/spur making noise. i won't know until this weekend if it was my dog bones and pinion pins. big JBRL race! =) |

Soo what do you use? Since you made me ask.
Oh i dunno there franky, giving away my secret's....i might have to make you work for it. :lol: J/K ;) here ya go bud, everything you'll need minus a couple .3 clutch shims to prevent the pinion from touching the bone and the boots you'll need. I also use the boots on my standard losi shafts i just stretch the boot over the CVD condom, glue in place and remove as 1 unit when servicing. http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...-Universal-Set http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...-Joint-Boots-2 there's also more shafts that can be ran but PM me and we'll discuss. ;) |

just wondering, how often do u do maintenance
this bent shock shaft, didn't leak, didn't fail.. just when i put them back on the truck, i noticed 1 shock was snugger than the other side.. looked at it physically, and its bent. damn.. oh well. so, my list of replaced parts are still pretty short considering the couple of gallons on my chassis. the most expensive was the ring and pinion. im guess with better maintenance, and shimms.. i could of prolonged those gears atleast 5 gallons total, instead of the 3 gallons estimated. im pretty dialed in now.. you shoudln't see any more posts from me for a couple of weeks. lol |

lol, i know it looks bad, but i clean my chassis after every day. but the shock/diff break downs are minimal. i admit i need to start keeping a better eye on my truck. not because of break downs, but performance.

ive had a few cartwheels.. and a couple decent headers.. but it wasn't noticeably affecting the ride. i just noticed it when doing a break down, and inspection. so right now the truck is back together, so im going to stop looking before i find more stuff to replace. lol |
I have bent a few shock shafts. Just from donkey flippin.

Black brake rotors have a little raised edge on one side, does it face the diff or away from it???
