Thanks but I wont have time to get to the shop until race day. I was hoping one of you guys new a direct replacement from one of your race days when you needed a quick fix and didn't have the oem part on hand. I don't want to waist my time driving to the track if they they don't carry a possible replacement that can get me through the weekend.

Well I've ran my car a couple times and it's very very different than my MP9, I was using the box setup and this thing was loose. I've since gone to 600CST weight oil in the front shocks and 37.5 in the rear. Using the 27/28mm ride height respectively as well as 5-5-3 in the diffs. Any suggestions on a good setup for indoor hard packed clay?

Remove the sways, then give it a whirl

Just to let you know, a temporary fix, I replaced the center diff with an xray 808 center diff (with bearing), changed the spur for the Kyosho 46t (I am normally running Kyosho spur on my Serpent) and it worked. Used only one seal but after 10 min, it let the oil out but I had 2 that were very loose.

It worked for me, it permitted me to bump up in A main !!

Nog.

I drove mine at OCRC for the first time the other day, box Stock set up, and I thought it was pretty darn good. That track is indoor hard packed clay

I think what that guy meant was the MP9 didn't have any steering.

How many times a month do you guys change your diff oils? I practice every weds and race every Sat, Sun.. I figure ill change one every week, you think that's not enough or too much?

I would say every 1 to 2 hours on the car is good. You are probably safe to go every other week as long as you don't see any leakage.

Pretty much only when I'm changing weight to try something different.
