Straighter carb is what I was looking for, but is it really needed?

i run the split diff and love it. i had a carb get a burr on it from the angle it needed to run to clear the stock mount. since switching i have had 0 issues other than over-tightening and stripping a mount screw. i always have a spare center diff ready to go at big races and can change it out now in under 2 min.

Does anyone have (2) blank switch plates they are willing to sell? I converted mine to electric and no longer need the cutout. I would buy them new but you have to buy the whole tray ($18). Please let me know, Thanks......

Tareq is somewhat of an exception, Most pilots Dream of being able to Maneuver like he can, Some can But not many

And on a Side note, He runs these for servo's.

Hey Frank you want to be the 1/8 guinea pig LOL the Specs dont look up to par tho as far as Tq is concerned. But darn do they sure Look Nice.

ya he is out there for sure and can push anything to its limits Them servos look alot like something else I have seen before. I am sure the top line hitechs that are out now would work fine for any thing you want to use them in. When you get burned once with a heli you run scared for a long time.

The best servo I have ever used was cheap a$$ futaba 9252's when they made them. They where plastic geared servos that I would log 400 or 500 flights on before tossing them. Never had one fail in over 4 years that I used them.

I use the split diff mount and love it! It makes linkage setup much easier because of a straighter carb angle. It also stiffens up the brake area which makes braking more consistent. Of course the quick change abilities are nice too. Well worth it.

I do run the split center mount. I happen to like it. It is stronger and makes changing the center diff on a BCE chassis much easier. I dont have to mess with those damm washers.

As for the servos, Nick I dont mess with anything thats under 300 oz of torque. Come on those might look pretty but their specs are horrible.
