Not at all.... Felt much more stable at both ends. Blues were good but I found whites to be better so far. Subject to change with a new layout on the horizon... Lol. Good luck!

if you are having issues getting parts, may be worth stocking up on some of the common ones that break.

I dont' know of any hobby shops in your area.

It seems your having a few problems getting this truck up and running. If it will help you, I'll offer to solder your system together for you, just ship it to me and I'll ship it back.

Then you can "plug n play".

None of these places is open?

Tore down my rear diff last night. It had over 6 hours of run time after doing the bearing mod using 5x10x4 bearings and machining the out drives for the extra space needed. The oil was dirty but still 3/4 full and no additional play in the out drives. Gears were still in great shape so I cleaned it, refilled it, and put it back together. Curious to see just how long the diff case will last. In the past the teeth were fine it was the bushings that wore out.
sorry but not a service I will be doing. Check with Coyote if you want some.

I'm hoping the Ft diff cases w/ the steel bushing will solve the problem, without the extensive diff mods...

Default any help appreciated.

this is my second time around trying to get a handle on this truck. i am running on a smooth clay indoor track and i feel like when i try to put the power down i am on ice, sideways halfway down the straightaway. i have the exotech chassis, mtk clutch basket and the Rcshox dual rate pistons. figured i would get the hot parts to settle it down. 24mm ride height, 25/22.5 oils, yellow springs, 2.0 sway bar up front/1.8 rear. RX8 w/ sc4x 4000 motor (limited at 60%) thinking that would help. 30k in front diif 7k in the rear. -2 camber all around. Sometimes it almost feels like the rearend is pushing itself around the front
