I had that happen to me also, when I was building my "SP". One side would bind a little more than the other. I think it was eventually between the the pin keeper screw, and the set screw on top of the pivot block were working against each other-try backing the keeper screw out a little-should set it free..

tip on front inner hinge pins.. leave the set screws out of the pivot block.. the front bumper will hold the pins in perfectly fine and make front arm changes much easier

ok i got it built!i used a b4 gear set because the track i primarily go to is tight.its geared at 72/28 with a 17.5 motor.i thought i read somewhere that the ae spur gear would work fine but i cant get the slipper to lock down.i used the ae slipper pads as well.when i hold both rear wheels and hit the trigger all i get is a zing sound!the front wont pick up at all.any thoughts?also i have 1.5 oz in the nose.

I've found diff adjustment on the kyoshos are a little more touchy than other vehicles , like the above post said sounds like Ur diff is loose. Id also suggest ditching the stock diff balls for ae carbide or ceramics as they last better imo . Also breaking in the diff helps too, I do mine with a drill , some do it when its in the car
#8667
well the car is brand new!never been ran yet.does both the ae gear and pads work properly?
#8668
forgot to mention i did use the ae diff balls also.it looks to me like the two metal discs that sandwich the gear and pads is a shade to big to fit the recess in the gear.just guessing though.its a 72 tooth gear.
