There was a comment from July 9th that they were out of stock, so I didn't get them from trick parts. I'm running a LRP SXX tc v2 and reedy sonic 550 4.5 with reedy saddles.

Nice, I hear the power on that reedy is very smooth... If you don't mind post up your comments on the performance when you get a chance.

I have it and it's sweet, I run a 11 tooth spur indoor clay at trcr, gonna get a 12 and try. It is super smooth feeling with a lot of rip. low end Is good, easy to clear anything after a tight corner. Always temps around 140-150 after a 15 minute pack. I run it with a rx8 and reedy 5500 60c. It is my favorite setup I've had even like it more then my old 1/8 buggys. And it has a cool fast zip noise when I pin it.

You probably know this but you DO use the outdrive washer (91007) with the .3 shims. The new kits that come with the .5 sun gear washer do not use that from what I've heard. They couldn't fit the outdrive washer with the XL .5 washer.

Just want to make sure you caught this before you get it finished.
The diff washers were not a major problem, I found that a little tighter gear mesh than the .2 washer was better and others did as well.

But I think what brought our attention to that washer is the a-arm and cva hitting the outdrive at full compression using only the rubber bumper as a limiter and no clips. That damaged (coned) the washer creating more slop in the gears and then they strip.

You need to run more height on the ballstud, 6mm minimum and 7 is optimal. By running less you are raising your roll center and defeating the purpose of the 8mm to begin with.

don't use the smaller .2 shims(91007) mounted on the out drive shafts.

Instead use two of the larger .2 sungear shims under each sungear ...


Will perform great this way ....

also the double shim is stronger and won't cone or wear near as much.


*remember , use the 8m of external limiter on the shocks to help stop the CVA from bashing outdrive cups .

Thanks. I've read through quite a bit of this thread over the last couple of weeks.

yes. it is on the previous page

BorackBasher

okay.. i will raise it up to 7mm instead of 5mm.. i wont be able to go to the track until friday or sunday to do more testing... if i have too much steering should i go up on diff fluid in the front? currently running 20k and 5k.. what do you guys think? .. i am still itching to figure this truck out..

does 5k make that much of a difference from 7k in the rear? I realism you get a more responsive diff. Not sure exactly how this calms down the truck.

Is there a difference between running 5/5 or 7/7 or even 3/3? If traction is relative then wouldn't it all be the same.
