One more, how tight do you do the nut up for the thrust bearing. Do i do it up tight until the car starts to pull to the left. This is all new to me.
Cheers
for the rx pack, either pull out the red wire from the speedo to the rx from the connector and wrap it in tape, or shrink it. Now you need a switch on the lipo pack to torn on your car. Or put a switch on the rx pack and leave your speedo switch off at all times while running on the rx pack. In this configuration, the switch from the lipo will turn on your car.
Diff adjustment... I slowly tighten the diff nut a little at a time, in between each 1/8th turn, I spin one of my wheels back and forth about 5-6 time each to make sure that the whole assembly is seating properly. I do this until it 'feels' right. To test how tight the diff is, I place both wheels on a table and hold them while using my thumb to push the spur gear. If I can just barely spin the spur, it is tight enough.
This the method that I use for a lot of diffs, ymmv. Good luck.
