Let us know what you think of the bearings, and if the price is right, I'd be interested in the other ones.

Glad you got the CF diff brace. I left you feedback.

What front diff brace are you referring to?

nice nice!
ya please let me know if you find an alum diff mount for the front plastic one (opposite of the motor mount...)

Ah, gotcha. You're talking about the plastic piece that holds the front of the center diff in place, right? Yeah, that would be great if someone made an aluminum piece.

Would any of you guys be interested in something like that? Since there is no manufacturer that makes one, I could see if the guy I use for custom CNC work would be interested in making a few. I can do the design work in SolidWorks then send it to him to get a quote. He's done a lot of work for me. I designed, and he machined, the front and rear brake caliper brackets for my race car (we went through several iterations of the front design too), he's done a bunch of brackets and plates for me, and he machined the hats on my front rotors to convert them to floating rotors. He does quality work.

I would think we could do the piece out of 6061, or maybe even 2024 aluminum.

id like one if it was 6061 and 2 peices like the stock one.

Would the holes be threaded, as the plastic ones uses long bolts that thread into the plastic.

I was thinking it would be one piece. Would likely be cheaper that way.

The holes would be threaded top and bottom.

I need to order one so I can see how it's shaped, but looking at the manual, it doesn't look that complex.

I might have a spare one i could mail you..

1 piece works.

I need to order a few other things, so I'll just add that to the order. It can't be that expensive, can it? Thanks for the offer, though.

However, the weather has really FUBAR'ed things up. Two packages that were supposed to be delivered yesterday via UPS still don't even show up as being delivered to the local distribution center, as of this morning. On one, I paid extra for 3-day, and from the looks of it, both aren't even going to make it until next week. That's on top of the other UPS package that didn't make it until this past Wed, about a week later than the scheduled delivery date.

Funny that none of my FedEx packages have been late...

I really need to get over this cough. It kept me up most of last night, so I slept late this morning, made it in to work late, and I have a ton of things to get done on the RC cars and the race car this weekend. At least the weather is going to be greatly improved.

Got my first run with my RC8Be last night. Very nice buggy. That thing has some serious oversteer. I liked it a lot. I can still get around the track faster with my Ve8 though It's a driving style thing. The only issue I had with the buggy was that my MMM kept coming loose. No amount of servo tape could keep it attached. I'm going to have to run some tie wraps to hold it down. Overall though, I'm pretty impressed with it.

still havnt found the aluminum center diff mount, anyone got a link for me???

Blade, both your cars were fast. It was fun driving, and it was nice to see more electrics showing up

Get that MMM tied down with a single zip tie and you should be good. I've seen plenty of them that were just servo taped down have the cases split apart which means sending it back to Castle

Hey Shane!!!! It was fun racing with you last night. We had some good runs going. Yeah, I'm going to get that thing tied down tonight. I want to race tomorrow at Rev. You going?

I see this as a nice little challenge to make when i get my new workshop up and running. Have thought about this ever since i got my car I have made a gearplate for my FG Marder with a jigsaw, lathe and a bench press drill (where you just clamp the drill in place) with fine tolerances, so i guess i
will be able to make the diff mount too.

I would.

Be patient. Alum front bulkhead coming very soon.

Ah, beat me to the punch! How soon?
