impalabob,

Since you just did your build, did you have any issues with your diffs leaking?

I noticed diff fluid accumulating on both front and back belts, so I ordered some new O-rings and rebuilt the diffs and that seems to have fixed it.

Looking at the design, it’s easy to not get the O-rings in the right position, and easy to mix them up. Good thing Kyosho still supports parts for this car.

Another question: how much axial play does your clutch bell have? The spec shows that there should be some. Design-wise, any thoughts on why Kyosho wants axial play on the bell? I’d think there shouldn’t be any at all, and that the play would delay engagement of the clutch.

Thanks,
