Attached is the set-up. Sorry it took so long but the set-up sheet can't be saved, so I had to print-fill out-scan-up load which always sounds like it's more work than what it really is :P
Our set-ups are very close.
The only thing that differs is the shock position, rear hub and rear bar.
I'm curious why you use the 2.2 in the rear?

Where did you get universals for your truck?

I use the 2.2 bar because it generates more traction on power. I am even thinking about making a thicker one to keep the rear flatter under power.

What are you doing with the hubs? Are you running the C plate? I am thinking of adding it and raising the inner stud about 5mm in the rear. Doing this to TC's usually generates more traction at the rear end. How about your shocks, where do they differ?

T-Bird, I guess they are CVJ's, they are the stock units. :S

I dunno about their 32P stuff, but their 48P ones are very narrow. If they don't wear fast they will at least eat the spur prematurely. I do know that robinson has a few different types of metals, some of which are garbage.

I found some Losi 48P ones that are full width, use the larger set screw, etc.

I have stripped out one 48P spur with my 1410 castle, but got some good use out of it. I'm not convinced enough yet to switch to 32P. I like having only one stash of pinions to share with my 2w stuff.

There are identical, with one point that has to be made.... the 4x4 mounts are rigid. Use that when locating holes in your body. The 2w sc10 has very flexible mounts, so if you use it as a template you might end up off by quite a bit when trying to stick it on the 4x4.

Also I was very careful about the front-to-rear location of the holes so it would fit both and fit the bumpers perfectly and also not rub the front tires. Too much hanging out in back just busts the body up worse.

Default belt skipping

he guy i have lawn darted my truck a few times and i think the chassis isnt as flat as it was new so i made a link to stiffin it up and then readjusted my pulleys but in order to keep the belt from skipping under hard acceleration i have to set it too tight which causes it to bind up in reverse and its got way too much resistance to the point that motor gets hot really fast . so i loosened it up and when doing so i noticed the pulleys were wobbling around so I ordered a new belt and the STRC aluminum tensioner pulleys and new bearings for the new pulleys . I may have jumped the gun but the pulleys are both real wobbly and im thinking this might be part of the problem . What are you fine folks doing to keep this from happening . and what suggestions do you have to remedy this . Thanks
