Default Re: Easy diff adjustment

I have not seen this posted anywhere including other boards and the AE "Complete Tuning Guide" so I thought that I'd pass it along. I noticed when building my kit that the 5/64 hex key that comes with the kit has a shorter end than the others. I had purchased a nice driver set and set aside the keys that came with the kit and didn't give the odd short guy another thought. After several weekends I needed to make a diff adjustment and dreaded the idea of pulling the diff out. I thought that if only I had a hex key with a short end I could stick in the end of the outdrive and turn the other wheel to make the necessary adjustment. Then I remembered that one of the keys was shorter than normal. Sure enough, it just fit between the end of the CVD and the outdrive. Its a little work to get the key to seat but you'll know it when it happens. Hope this helps you guys out on the track.

ya know,You're right..I never even looked at those wrenches...


Now thats an observant RC guy..



that was a goodcall
