To resume I don't recommend the spriral cut gears. It would be a shame to be leading a race and have these fail.

Thanks for the advice.. One minor little factor gnawing at me though is that for the 454 I have the Fioroni clutch - already have it... - which is fantastically low-maintenance.. For the JPX I'd have to go buy some new buggy-racing clutch.. The Ascendancy clutch here is pretty cheap, so I'd probably get that.. The Fioroni though is just so set-and-forget....
set-up over to the JPX engine? If that is the clutch set-up
you like, why not try it.

I tried the Fioroni slider on my Nosram 21RR(another Picco P7 Evo 2/3 twin like the Jammin) once, and it killed the power.. I don't think the Fioroni is good on 21's.. Great on the Mach's and 28's though..

Thanks for the advice on the spiral gears, I was kinda leary of them to begin with.

well after hearing all that on snappin the cvd's, i re-shimmed the slop that was in my wheels, to the innerbearing, more or less placing cvd's closer to the centerline of chassis, i just had he shims on outside behind wheel hub, now i used the larger kyosho ones that you actually space the entire bearing outer housing with, so this will work as more a preventative measure, and guess ill have to see where that and my endpoints land me...lol...but the shimming def will help, and i wonder where shims<if any were used> where they were placed when cvd snapped, i just say, cause i ran alot of the 777 and kanai buggy's over the years with my steering throw MAXED and NEVER had a issiue, so im looking very closly as i do believe you guys they snap, its a expensive lesson not to take advice on, but theres gotta be a way to counter, this week opener, ill report if i snap any....with shims placed as they are, and aftermarket kyosho front alm knuckles, i have epa all the way
Hopefully its a sucess story!!!

Thats not a dumb question.I want to run an actual turn buckle and with the crank in the center there are clearance issues plus with the way the steering link is attached it looks like it will slip eventually with all the vibration,it's not 100 percent secure. Running a turnbuckle alsontakes away the slop and I think it looks better.

For those thinking of using the OS 19xz Speed, my LHS got one in this week with a store price of $399.99. This is a steep price depending on my LHS sells the OS 21xz Speed for $425.00. It definitely is lighter than the .21 version. Wish I could break it down to look at its internals.
