The idlers will explode in one great Cracking noise and your car will lock up.

My idler sounded like a worn/bad spur and pinion combo. I replaced it before it completely failed.

Damn Marcus, you truck looked dialed. The way it pulled through the turs on power is crazy. Your gonna be testing at Mikes on friday? I cant wait to run a couple laps on your ride, and hopefully by then you will have an ackerman ready to sell to me![Wink](https://www.rctech.net/forum/classic_images/smilies/wink.gif)

no, its the same setup i normally run except the ackerman setting were all the way back, that is not going to make up nearly a second in time. the truck feels much more planted and stable most noticeabley under exit acceleration and post jump. corner speed is greatly increased due to the CG in my opinion. no i dont think the chassis is 100% effective but at least 90% in my case. none of the other changes will give that big of a time difference. i had to raise the ride height up slightly due to the weight but i made no other setup changes to compensate for the chassis, just to see what it would be like. i usually run yellow springs but changed saturday (why i dont know!) the ACKbar makes a driving difference but a tenth or two at the most as it makes it more comfy to push hard. I have a lot of wheel time and am pretty good at being able to tell what changes effect the truck.

Guess I should take it apart before asking more questions.
Where do you get the shims in case it is the diff?
Chris Jaroz suggested I get the diff rebuild kit.

Came out of a tight corner outside a Losi, clamped the throttle only 1-2' before a small 1' bump and jumped clean over his truck. Looked like a game of leap frog and brought cheers from the spectators.

Amazingly the diff gear looks perfect, but the remaining idler gear teeth look oddly twisted or wavey across the width of the teeth. Might have something to with how the idler gear injection mold is cooled creating stress within the gear.
The slipper is now unpinned and back to decoupled.

Does Robinson Racing make a metal idler gear? seems like pinning has its advantages and disadvantages..

I redid both of my Diffs. Full rebuild, and still shimmed them. It totally takes the slop out. (be aware, keep the diff free spinning with a shim, can sometimes be 'too' snug)
![Default](https://www.rctech.net/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Don't let a plastic Idler gear steer you away from that mod. Trucks that run similar to a pinned design are full steel transmissions. AE got away with Plastic because there was a gearbox per-two tires.
I love. LOVE my pinned Truck for the track I run at, and I've gone threw 2.5 idlers. (my 5minute rear diff pull helps me not get pissed off when I have to get to the idler.

Use the steel gears and just strip the diff gear, pulley's , belt, ect...
Already been there, done that, and went back .......

Thus, instead of the idler going as usual, saving the tightly wound Belt.
Your Idler didn't give and the belt could not 'skip' and belt boom.

Ok thanks. If I cant fiquire it out I will post pics later today. I think my bladders are not in the best of shape either which is probably causing my promblem. Also the stock bladders are way to hard in my opinion, so maybe if they got bent up they didnt go back to the shape they where in when they where new. Since they are this hard it might cause the bladder to not sit properly in the shock.
