Dom C Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Yes but if it has a centre diff you will need to lock this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adolf hamster Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 if it has a centre diff, lock it. if it doesnt have a centre diff, then just take the dogbone out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Buy CVD's for the front? It wasn't designed as 2WD, so will handle like a bag of spanners and put more strain on the rear diff, meaning it'll be more likely to break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattadon Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 Thanks for all the replies guys. Just taken it out for a quick run with the nipper and she has only gone and pulled the pull start string out so it wont recoil ( very nice of her ). I have taken the pull start off and WOOOOOSH out springs a coil, am i shafted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hebby Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 The new bullet has thicker dogbones and mine have never come out they also have shock stops and O-rings inside the diff cups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siris10 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Mine was 2wd while I waited for new dog bones and yeah it ran like a mental sheep. It spun out and really was not an enjoyable time, I got the new dog bones and packed out the axel and diff cups with nitro tube. I put slightly more in the diff cups than in the axel as the axle was the place it was popping out from when I did a tight reverse turn, took me a while to get the right amount in there but I ended up with about 2mm of movement and now it works great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldblades7 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 MT2 dogbones are the way forward here but they need to be filed down slightly to fit dont whatever you do buy the bullet CVDs.....as mentioned they are worse than useless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
