In any case, I will put at least 4mm of limiters on, maybe more (I currently have the boots on). I am not too excited about having to rebuild the diff because of this, but I can see from this thread that others have suffered far more to get us to the current point with this truck.

As far as this needing its own thread, I think what this needs is a product recall. If, out of the box, the uptravel causes problems in the tranny case, AE should notify its customers and provide a fix. R/C is one of the few consumer products where product flaws are accepted, even viewed as a challenge to be overcome by the community. In any case, thanks to the more experienced community for working these things out.

The fix is in the box!! the kit comes with spacers for this reason. IF you dont run the limiters you will bend dogbones and wear out the dif. If the shock towers were any different it would effect droop and the handling of the truck in a bad way, there really is no other way around it.
