Internally, I would say never. If the fluid cant leak out, Im sure nothing is getting in. now as for the cases, who knows, but I usually do it at night and leave the car sitting for a day or 2 before I even put it back together. Like now. It will probably be apart until I get my steering servo back from Associated. 7-10 days hopefully.

Hey Billy, are those skid plates good quality? Was looking at them yesterday but didn't chuck them in my basket.

Picked up my front end to check how the front plate would fit and noticed oil from the front diff on the chassis plate. Not sure if this is overspill or its weeping. Is it only the centre thats prone to chucking out oil or all 3?

I'm pretty happy with the skid plates and they're fairly inexpensive.

Also mounted the Ofna belted slicks. What a PITA. Not nearly as easy as mounting "regular" 1/8 scale tires!

what skid plates are these? Ive used both the Associated and the DE racing, and both seem to last just as long as the next, which isnt very long haha

DE

The AE front bumper doesn't have a skid plate built into it, though. The DE does, which is nice.

I'm staying home from work today due to the weather, so I'm tinkering a bit here and there. I just installed the DE dirt shields, and while I'm not crazy about the looks, they fit perfect and will be very functional.

Also added velcro to the sides. Now the body feels much more secure.

Pics of the dirt shields please Billy!

Just away to fit the tapered 1:10 pistons. What way have you guys got yours fitted. Taper up or taper down?

is it possible to just buy the pins in the cvds?

Done!





I wonder if they'll make something similar for the front. It would be nice to shield the front CVDs from dirt.

Which pin? I think on one end, the pin is installed in the CVD shaft from the factory. On the other end (the part that goes into the CVD cup), the pin is PN 89106 (I believe that is actually the CVD rebuilt PN, but that includes the pin).

Think I might go Tekin

Why?

I don't know. Something just tells me to switch. I started feeling the pain of the sensorless motor at the track this last weekend.

you should solder your wires the other way (from the front). Over time you will see your tabs being pulled back. Slow process but could eventually shorten life of motor

Lmao!! Welcome, we've been waiting for you!
