Just finished up my sway bars. TC3 upper ends (where bar goes into) and Traxxas rod ends that go into a-arm. Trim .075 to .100 off rear Traxxas ball ends to shorten the length to clear camber link better.
I tossed a Traxxas Titan 550 in it and ran it for 1hr on a stand to break it in. Taking it out for the 1st time later today. Tekin 4.5 and LRP TC Spec. Starting at a 13t pinion, some shock oil changes, and diff fluid changes. I made a few passes down the street and then ran in deep gress for 3-4 min and the motor was prob 105 deg.

From post #1 above. The AE turnbuckle wrench is 4mm i believe. (Or am I missing something about threadsize vs tool size?)
Which one is correct?

Thanks Jstall.
So let me get this clear im sure its been covered but i dont wanna read every page. I am going to order some wheels and tires for this thing. The proline protrac and the new jconcepts wheels have the right offset for this truck???? I also heard the losi wheels fit but i will probally go with proline.

Perhaps I need to say this once per day so people know?

It is 4mm turn buckel wrench. Like others stated, my diffs had almost no oil in them. Not a big deal opening them up to add oil! Got to bag D before bed... will finish building the truck tonight! Can't wait to race it this Saturday at our local track!

A track in Hamilton got them on Tuesday. I race at the other track, about 10 minutes away though, and couldn't bring myself to buy it from their competitor. Hopefully they will have it in tonight when I go to race my B4.
I don't have the motor/ESC for it anyways so not a big deal. I guess I could put my LRP SPX Stock Spec and X12 10.5 in there for now... not sure how long that speedo will last though.

2nd run on my track. First broken part. Truck landed a little crooked and a ball end on the front suspension tie rod broke. I have not broken a part on my track in a year. Uhhh Hopefully it was a freak thing. I have spares of just about everything but did not get these. I can't remember the last time a ball end broke, if ever.
Any of you guys messed around with the overdrive/underdrive stuff? I had the underdrive pulley in the back, and the rear spacers for the hub carrier in the middle and it was super squirrelly under acceleration. I moved the hub carrier all the way forward and put the standard pulley in and now it is much more hooked up under acceleration.

I'm a little worried about my CV joint pins on the rear coming out. The bearing is all that's holding them in and AE doesn't supply enough shims to properly keep the CV from pushing in to where the pin could come out.
Has anyone running the truck had an issue with the CV joint pins coming out? I guess I gotta find some shims to ease my mind.
