i just saw the vids on how to brake in the diff.
but i did it differently so i hope i didnt damage any thing...
i held one tire and with the TH trim i spin the motor very slowly for about 30 seconds and then did it for the other tire.
but i when spinning the wheel by hand i can feel like its not completely smooth like a oil diff in my 1/8 buggy.
is it normal or i need to do more then this as a brake in?

thanks! i did a little more like the method in the vid. but not as much as you did. ill continue to do so.
but im not sure how tight i need it in the brake in and after. i played a little with it so i lost the 1/8 of a turn out setting. do i need it to to turn the motor when spinning the wheel fast or it should never spin the motor?

I am going to try one thing. I am removing the ballast and running a 69 tooth spur to move the weight a little more forward. Im running full size packs so the ballast seems a bit redundant. If i had one area i thought it could have been better was it did push a little. Trust me it wasnt a big deal since like i said i havent driven in a long time. As the day worse on i did find myself looking for a little more mid to exit steering. By the way i will be running blinky 17.5 so that was another reason for removing the weight. Anyone else running without the ballast?

if anyone is interested, i saw (and orderd) this wing which is made out of polypropilane so it wouldn't brake so easy.

Has anyone run the "Mayfield" rear camber link setup?
shaved u-brace (hole #1 no shim)
C-Hub/Tower (hole "C")
I think that's about as long/low the link can be. Right?
What feel can be expected with this setup?
