You may want to try this. Clean all the grease off the gears and put some dry graphite lube on them this will not only quite the gears down it will break them in the the mesh feels alittle better.
this has been my experience with it I have been running it this way with no ill effects for one full season.
Question maybe someone will have some insight. I have done a modification and have yet to see what it does. I was playing around with some parts and came up with a new type of swaybar mount. I wish I had some pitures to post. what I did was cut a peice of carbon fiver and mounted it on the chassis braces. It's hard to describe but the end result is a sway bar that is mounted like the yok's and tamiya cars. looks trick but will it offer any difference in performance any insight? tony?
thanks
