As rmargiotta says... I also use bearing lube on my axles joints as well.

I'll clean them out real good tonight and lube them and see what happens. I have a few "gurus" in the area and a team driver at my local track...but he's new to the team 
Spence- I don't think I'll be able to make it to the FT race because of prior commitments, but I'll be at the eXpress race. Hopefully I'll have it figured out by then, but if not I'll be hunting you down!
Thanks to all for the help.

killing, one thing I do to make sure my CVDs are built decently is a hand swing test. I grab the axle with my fingers, and let it all hang down. Then I swing the axle in circles (wrist action, like stirring a cup of coffee). The dogbone should swing in circles, too. If it just swings back and forth, it tells me it needs lube, cleaning, or loosening.

it goes on wet like any lube, but they drys and leaves a lubricating film that doesnt attract dirt.

i have a question about the chassis. I have the Us carpet version but also go the thinner chassis w/ the upper deck EU version(?). Here where I live its strickly outdoor asfalt tracks, should I use the EU version chassis to run the car? I was thinking of using the EU version while here for practice (we don't race electric anymore) but I want to keep the US version to race in a big carpet race sometime next year after they legalize lipo and sensorless motors...( hopefully by next year). Until then I will travel to run my RRR only, but really want to get to go to a big electric race, maybe Las Vegas or something in the future.
SO for asfalt, is the EU version chassis really better?
Thanks

The US chassis is designed for FOAM TIRE
In other words;
The EU chassis should be run on Asphalt AND Carpet when using RUBBER tire.
The US chassis should be run on Carpet when using FOAM tire (probably the best choice for FOAM an asphalt as well however it is not COMMON to run foam on asphalt so I assume Xray did not take this combination in account when desining the car).
Is there a combination I'm missing

T2R?
Why won't Xray make them for the masses? My local hobby store says they won't get any until Aug. What ups with that Xray?

hey i have a little handling issue and was wondering if you could help. Im running a t2 07 in 19t and i find that the rear of my car although it grips really well sometimes it can break loose if i am to eager to turn into a corner and i was just wondering if anybody had any setup tips to maybe get a little more rear end rotation instead of the 'snap' that i get at the moment. I am running kit setup but with a diff up front on a large outdoor asphalt track

I would run a multidiff up front with it set to spool or full time solid as Xray calls it. What size springs do you have in the front? What is your tire prep? What tires are you running? What is the track temp? Which setup are you running Asphault or Carpet?
