Ever driven a sedan with a front diff, and then tightened it way up? Or a one way, and then switched to a spool? Same thing as heavier fluid. More steering center in, pushes center off. This is why the Ryan's setup sheet from the Reedy Race/Spectrum race has the front overdriven, it adds on power steering.

I had 60K in the front and thought it was way better than the 30K I have in it now, but some users reported breaking front driveline parts as a result of too little diff action.

I've run 50k front and 30k rear with good results for me and havent broken anything. Been like that all year. Just saying if anyone wants to try it and is affraid.

But going to go bsck to 7k f and 5k r once I get the rcshox center diff in.

I know Codys set-up did not use the overdrive ...
Your correct about the thicker diff oil though , thus why no overdrive ...

10K in ft ...

7k in back

I am taking my truck apart to refill the diffs and check warped a arms etc, when I noticed this? I am running the basket, with 1 HD pad on the inside and 2 standard pads in the basket. Also the the pads are super slick there is no grip on the pads at all. My slipper nut I am not running flush because it seems if I do the spring is almost all the way cranked down. Any tips?

Here is a link to the pic of the spur gear:

hey guys anyone know the weight of the exotek aluminium chassis by itself? just trying to do a weight comparison between that and stock plastic center chassis.

Here are a couple pics of my rebuild using a new kit.


no weight needed to balance. Bias is 45% front 55% rear. 50-50 left to right. Total weight ready to race is 6.45lbs. The carbon fiber eliminates torsional twist. It's extremely hard to traction roll and even when it does you can tell it's going over and let off on the power a touch to settle it back down. I think keeping as much weight on the center line as possible is the key. I think that's why saddle packs in line are working better than side by side. Add a ball diff from Marcus and it's a tough truck to beat

I use a power sliding miter saw with a metal cutting blade. Makes nice clean cuts.
