If you wanted to widen the front u could use the 22t spindles they are slightly thicker

Lower KV motors have a lot more torque. If you are not coming off the track at 155° with a a 17.5, you are not utilizing all of the power. Brushless motors need to be geared in a certain range to make power. Gearing it up does not necessarily mean only more top end. Just because you have had a 17.5 keep up with a 8.5 in the backwoods of Northern Florida, doesn't mean that that is what happens in the rest of the RC world. Put a 17.5 in Cavs car and he will smoke you. Put an 8.5 in his car and he will smoke you even worse. There are people here who can go faster with a fast motor. Just because you were able to keep up with crappy drivers with 8.5s, doesn't mean that it would happen everywhere.
As for everyone else with the raging erections over Evans wing. It is very clearly not the new upgrade wing. The upgrade wing has golf ball like dimples on the flat parts on either side of the mounts. He is sponsored by JC, so it is probably one of their wings.

Does anyone know are you able to use the associated thrust washers and thrust balls in the 22 diff? I broke my thrust washers and have the associated ready. I already use the ae bolt and nut just wondering if it would work with the 5/64 thrust balls.
Thanks,
Thanks,

I'm not sure, but if it fits in the outdrive, you're good to go.

Should be fine 5/64 and 2mm are insanely close

does anyone know if you can replace the pins on MIP CVD's? im talking about the actual pin that goes into the outdrive or "dogbone" side.
They seem to last much longer with less lash than stock, however i want to reduce wear on my outdrives without having to buy a new set of CVD's every couple weeks. Also, unless im somehow missing it, they only sell replacement 22 axles, not just the bones.
can this be done? and how? thanks

I asked this question in the 22SCT thread, but I'm asking here also, hoping to get an answer. Does the gear diff Losi part #LOSA2954 already come with diff oil in it when purchased new? If so, what weight? Or, do I need to put in some diff oil in myself, when I get it out of its packaging?

on very high traction surface they use 5000 oil,
personally on our local track, medium-low grip clay track, I use 3000 oil.

thanks for the reply...I've gotten various responses about this...I run in a med-low grip clay track like you, so I'll open the gear diff up to put some 3000 oil

How many guys are using the gear diff compared to the ball diff and why? Whats the benefits to both?
03-18-2013, 02:12 AM
Half the guys I race with run the ball diff and I have been running top 3 so I'm not seeing really seeing the disadvantage myself. It's all drivability and the ability to adjust. I guess my conclusion is I'm running gear diff because I'm lazy and I'm sure a lot ppl will swear by ball diff but I'm truly not seeing the big difference when it comes to competing against it.

Ball Diff All day, Everyday!
Smooth throttle in turns, and WAY more adjustble

there are some cars where the gear diff really shines. The durango guys seem to like it, but normally the ball diff always wins. Like that guy said, he wants to be lazy. Just wait till that thing leaks and makes a huge mess of your tranny lol.

Over the weekend my gear diff began leaking, 3 race days and it leaked 25% of it's oil out - we run on astro - ball diff went back in it and it is there to stay!
