"Hard Anodized Billet Machined Forged Aluminum Rear Hub Carrier for AE RC8"

I think these are a little better than the standard Integy stuff.

Back from the track already. Nitro day, didn't get to run. I was only there about 45 minutes. Wasn't feeling it today. Wanted to try out my Gens Ace. Never got a chance.

They didn't even let you run? They should have at least put you in with the Nitros. I guess they're scared of losing.

Did you decide to back out or would they not let you run with nitro? I know at my local track there is no 1/8E class we just run with the nitro boys.

The funny thing about this statement is...

There have been times at tracks I have attended, there are more Electric buggies than Nitro. So, it's the Nitros running with the Electrics. However, at the larger races there's still a big turn out for the Nitro as well. That's just not right though if they didn't let you run. If it was a cash race or something, I can understand. However, for a general club race they should let you.

No I definitely could have run. But it was just a slow day. Only about 20 racers. Was boring. Last weekend there were 86 entries. And a few local pros. It was all Nitro Buggy and Truggy. On electric weekend it's 1/10 buggy, SC and 1/8th. As soon as I got there, I was ready to go home.

But I'm glad I did. I just checked the mail and got a new toy

It depends on your track conditions. Diff oils are trial and error. The thicker you run the more it locks the diff.

And here it is installed. I'm using the standard Castle MOD 1 pinion by the way. Which fits perfectly, just reverse it.

The track is in Antioch, and it's indoors. Well they call it indoors, it's outdoors covered.
