Meaning?

Meaning?

Yes

[Highlander]

My diff seems to foul with the RPM arms, just wondered if it was common.

Mine never did?

Just fitted mine up this weekend mate and no issues whatsoever - using the same Hostile hub carriers as you (tho with stock rose joints currently) and 4 degree blocks

However, I am running limiting cables, cos they seem to stop the fouling! discovered this when i first built the SC, rubbed the boots away, then the toobz made their own dent in the rpm arm, so fiddled with the limiting cables, problem sorted! I've fitted Killer 13mm spacers too to ensure consistency both sides...

rear end nearly finished

[Highlander]

Crappy camera, just a few small missing things left to fit to the rear

[Noj]

looking very nice, and strangely familiar...

I had to put 4 washers under the esc when re-mounting it to clear that strange screw in the top of the quickdiff....

Ha, hard these days to build a baja not quite like someone else's, There's always somebody out there with the same colours or parts ect lol

yea i did wonder about the screw, I think im still going for an MGM at this point so i will have to make some sort of mounting system for it which il make it to clear the screw. Not that the screw is really needed, just extra support i guess.

[Noj]

I wondered too, extra support isn't needed but it's there, so needs to be used lol....Joe made some supports for his MGM at work I think....

[Highlander]

Yea im going to CNC something out for it at work

[Noj]

u lucky folk with access to CNC machining.....

[Highlander]

Its all very well having access, but its a pain when you can never actually get on the bloody thing due it being packed out with jobs.

[Noj]

terrible when paid work gets in the way of freebies

[Highlander]

Looking good, real good. As good as mine? Hmmm.............we'll see.

Challange Accepted.

[Highlander]
