I just want enough gear to keep the car in shape for a few race meets to make sure I like it before buying a new kit. I have read the last few pages of this thread, but 600 odd pages is a bit of a stretch. By the time I finished reading it would be irrelevant as the 720 would be out. Thanks in advance.
If you get hit at the right spot by another car from behind you may end up breaking your rear shock shaft. Other than that if you don't crash not much will break. The occasional off will not break anything 99% of the time. |

Gear Diff
Is there any performance/handling benefit to using a gear diff vs. a ball diff?

Cheers, Mark. Sow...with the gear diff Mark will be in Saturday's heat :) Jag...(pit monkey) didn't you ask enough questions over the weekend? LOL I think the gear diff was a modified Kyosho diff. |
Yes it's a modified diff of the v-one rrr. A while a go i heard some guys on the track on how to build it, but i forgot how :cry: But they are testing the retail version now. They said it wouldn't be to long before it comes.
Probably in a month or sow. |

Other than that you'd just need to keep the usual items such as different spurs and pinions, shock springs and oil and perhaps glow plugs!

Which diff was that? I had a 705 and it definitely used a ball diff. |
