sorry, I dont know anything about novaks. might look for a novak thread. not many people use them here.

Lol, i know its not the b4's fault, and yeah i thought that i had everything right but i guess not. i will just have to watch the video again tomorrow and try to get it all figured out.

Ohh, and btw the whole 75/31 gearing is slow as molasses. lol i could run as fast as it drives.
im gonna gear it down to the 69/34/35 and see what that does. may just sell the 17.5 and get a mod motor..

you want 69/72 33-34 maybe even a 35-36 depending on the motor.

bigger pinion= more top end correct..?
smaller pinion= more torque?

Start with the 17.5, just gear it correctly and it will be significantly better.

yeah, i really dont believe that it is geared correctly. im going out to my lhs after work today to try and get it all set up. i believe it is the thrust bearings that are not set up right..

hey try running your diff a little tighter next time you are outside and see if that helps your car from stepping out on you. I know the tighter I ran mine, the better it was in that aspect but the more it would push. From what I remember in your video, that push won't hurt you.

Even though my diff didnt seem right when i was "breaking it in" i ran it outside for about 6-7 min and it seemed to do fine while it was on the ground. im just lost on this..

AE diffs suck.... they feel gritty quickly and that's because of the thrust bearing. well most of the time anyway. If you build it right, and it's perfect, I'm told most guys still only get 2-3 weeks on a diff. Myself, I run the thing for 2 or 3 months before I even think about touching it... My diff usually feels gritty after 3 runs but will stay the same for 3 months... it doesn't get worse until it just goes. When I get more anal and am more prepared, then I'll slap a new diff in every month. I actually am going to build a complete second transmission and just swap it out for rebuilds / big races etc...

well see i did the "break in" and held the back left tire and gave it some onion and the right back spun but it seemed rough, and when i hold the back right and give it some onion the left wheels spins smooth as a babys butt and doesnt feel bad at all..

From what i have been reading i believe it is the thrust bearing as well..

This sounds like you might have a problem somewhere else. Mine was doing this and one of the set screws had backed out in the CVD and was rubbing causing vibration.

I dont see why a diff would only feel bad on one side. I agree about the cva's. I would tale a look at the side that is acting up. Did you use the clip and the set screw?

Hello

I'm starting at the RC. I'm thinking of buying this car (RTR version).
I'll buy from an online store. It will cost me about 240 €.

I have some questions. What is the battery (LiPo) that you guys recommend?
What is the maximum size of battery (LiPo)?
If I know someone explain how can I choose a good charger for my lipo.

thanks in advance

It's very easy to clean and lube the thrust with the diff in the car.

Pro-tip: Cut down an earplug to jam in the thrust side. Makes adjusting the diff a little more difficult, but keeps the thrust fresh longer.
