Are you sure for what you said? I've already tried to rotate the diff but doing that the brake pulley and the diff pulley are no more aligned.

If you see the rear differential pulley is left-position by approximately 1mm or more and so, rotating it will move too much to the right...

However the belt should not come out because the composite right-bulkhead will stop it (the belts will bump to the rear downward multiflex connection)

Yes I'm positive, I've tried it and been running it ever since like that without having belt issues. U have to mount the pulley as close to the 2 speed as you can while still being in the groove on the shaft. Also I promise they sit in line with each other, I wouldn't recommend it unless I knew it worked

I'm looking for some titanium parts and I'm obliged to look at non-xray parts because the factory does not work on this material.
I've already heard about the low quality of the 3Racing titanium but as Riketsu said the shoe older hasn't a particular wear and so I think it's worth to try it.

Yesterday I tried out the new aluminium 2-speed belt pulley 20t (335910) and the best tip I can give you it's not to use it with soft-belts as them will trend to work all moved to the right. And finally you will race with a belt that run only for the half of his width on the diff pulley and the same on the brake pulley. Mounting a standard 5,5x177 reinforced belt will solve you all the problems.
I already wanted to revert to the standard belts due to the non-rielability of the soft ones (talking about the rear) and this is good for me

(sorry for my bad english...but I want to help you guys despite the "difficulty" of writing in another language)

bye
I hear you. I run many of my cars pretty much stock and when my driving head is right, am pretty competitive with the racers in my area. I have tried some 3racing stuff in the past with 50/50 results. This is why I try to stay with OEM parts for the cars that I run as much as I can. Good luck to you with your mods.

Hi, i want some help for the High Dynamic centax.
From what I have read so far is that the correct way to build the HD centax is the same as the standard (0.6-0.7mm gap and 1.0-1.1mm preload).
When I try to build it that way the clutch slips and the car does not start.
After experimenting I have found that the only way that the HD centax operates properly is when I build it with 0.6-0.7mm gap and 0.0-0.3mm preload.
This way is operates properly. My problem is that the clutch works properly for the first 5-10min of a race and then the preformance starts to degrade.
Could you enlighten me on this?

Your gap is to much. On Ralph's car we run .4 to .5 gap. The spring is RCAmerica spring and I start it out at .5mm preload. We run the new red pad, and I put the 4mm set screws in the flyweights.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Drew

Like Drew says...

0.4-0.5mm gap

I always start with around 0.75mm preload and adjust until the clutch starts slipping. Then I back out 1/4th of a full turn and that should be the spot.

I also use the small set screws in the shoe and have found that this produces a more aggressive clutch. Also, the red shoe is a great improvement over the white or yellow.

You should also take a look at the XRAY hard spring for the clutch. I have had trouble helping others with their clutches and always have found the problem to be in the spring being too soft.

Check these springs:
-RCAmerica Spring
-Xray HARD Spring
-Shepherd VCC Spring
-Mugen MSR Hard Spring

All of them are very good springs. Careful with the MSR spring, a friend of mine bought one recently and found it was too long to fit the clutch... But I believe this was just a bad batch or something went wrong with it.

Default 2010 WCE or 2011

Drew or others,

I am switching from a Kyosho Vone RRR Evo2 to an NT1 this season. There are a few 2010 World Championship editions left around online. I am wondering if I should get one or wait for the 2011? What are the differences other than the 2011 chassis? When will the 2011 be out?

Thanks,

Troy

I could be wrong, and maybe others who know will chime in, but I think the only difference between the NT1'10 and the NT1'11 is the chassis. I don't believe that the NT1'11 comes with all of the light weight WC parts, so, IMO, I would get the NT1 WC edition.

Default New RB T11 RS

Drew thaks again for your informations,I would like thow to ask you what is your opinion about the new RB engine T11 rs,and what kind of sedax you would build for this kind of engine in order to get the maximum performance.

consider that in greece the tracks have low to medium grip,and the temperature at this period is up to 18-20 degrees...

Thank you in advance.

We have some in stock at RCAmerica (WE). I would go with that. The 11 only has a new chassis compared to the 10. I think the WE is the best buy as it comes with everything you will need. A few guys have just bought the WE car and are just going to buy the chassis when we have it in stock.

Thanks Drew

I would build it just like I said, but the only thing you may want to play with is the pad with low bite the yellow may work better. But I would try the red for sure and see.

The engine seems to be OK. I think the best RB's are done by Murnan.

Thanks Drew
