Is the idler gear and main diff installed in the correct direction? Both have a ridge and I am wondering if the idler were put in with the ridge on the slipper side would it cause a bind when things get tightened.

Second question is on the thrust washers and bearings. You said this is for both the V2 C-Diff and factory slipper. Is there any wear on the outside of the case where the thrust assembly goes that looks like it would be caused by the inner washer rubbing? If so the stepped thrust spacer or the blue spacer included with the c-diff may be too thin or worn in some odd way. Just to make sure the c-diff is installed correctly here is the link.

Last is the belt pulley. I am running the STRC aluminum pulleys and have noticed on the original AE slipper, v1 C-Diff and v2 c-diff that it will rub slightly on the inner slipper hub. There is actually a ring worn around the inside of the slipper hub where the pulley has worn off the anodizing. I have not noticed the problem when I run the VTS Slipper so have chalked it up to tolerances being a bit different between the systems. In any case, the pulley does not bind in my rig so much as it just slightly rub but perhaps yours is a bit different.

Good luck on this!

Thanks AZ. I have made sure the Idler and Diff is installed correctly (it is). And I don't have any wear on the outside of the case. But I will check the pulley. Now that I think about it, I have seen some wear on the slipper hub, just can't remember where at the moment. I'll check that when I get home from work tonight.

On a side note on this, I looked at another racer's truck at the track this past weekend. His was the same as mine, tires don't spin freely once slipper spring is tightened. He was given his truck by a professional racer too, so I'm sure it was built correctly. So this may be nothing, but I'm going to keep checking stuff till I'm satisfied, like the pulley tonight.
