  1. I've suffered with tyres before, how do you seal them, in the wet also when the sponges get boggy. Sent from my MI 5s using Tapatalk
  2. I love going on sand, it's the most fun but also the biggest pain in terms of cleaning. It's supprising how much more load will go through the power system, esp if you've got paddles, I cooked a lipo in dunes, swole right up. I'll give everything a good coat of silicone spray before. I started trying to be gentle with the clean but realised eventually that putting it in the shower with the head set to pressure jet was about the best way. Just avoid squirting the super sensitive bits or remove them. Sent from my MI 5s using Tapatalk
  3. Still run 4s but have had the bigger pinion on since day 1 which cranks up the speed a bit, I treat it pretty harshly and apart from maintenance flawless! Think I've had it cartwheeling 4/5 times and drive away no probs. Great car! Even have low rates programmed for the kids to play with.

  4. Diffs awesome, I did pop one though but not the gears. A bolt holding the housing together basically bust its way out. Made up a couple spares and rolling again. Great kit! (Once the diff upgrade is done) Sent from my MI 5s using Tapatalk
  5. I put a savox something or other in my as recommended by tug in an earlier post. The turning circle is the turning circle, full lock to full lock doesn't change much its just quicker and stronger. Sent from my Vodafone Smart ultra 6 using Tapatalk

  9. There's one on eBay cen gst diff £30+£7 postage Sent from my Vodafone Smart ultra 6 using Tapatalk
  10. My theory is that the plastic housing causes too much flex and movement in holding everything together, causing a lot of mush with the 4x tiny gears inside the diff. The Cen diff is a one time fix, haven't heard of any fails, I've already forgotten about the import duty I had to pay on it, at the time I wasn't too impressed.

  11. No worries, other people helped me when mine first turned up, but it wasn't until a few diff's later I saw the need for the diff. Sent from my Vodafone Smart ultra 6 using Tapatalk
  12. Looks correct to me, but all that plastic goes in the bin as its just the insides you need. Sent from my Vodafone Smart ultra 6 using Tapatalk
  13. #323 has a link about it Sent from my Vodafone Smart ultra 6 using Tapatalk
  14. If you ran it on a 1s you'd still need the upgraded diff! Sent from my Vodafone Smart ultra 6 using Tapatalk
  15. Otherwise pretty indestructible! Sent from my Vodafone Smart ultra 6 using Tapatalk
