Thats sealed the deal for me i was thinking of parting ways and replacing but now ill hang tight and see how the new pans out,better the devil you know and all that.. If those chinese diffs do hold up at £25 a set front and rear thats how im reading it ill be happy as a pig in mud just running the cd and cush bits..

Its no secret Im fairly critical of Kershaw as i genuinely dont rate them. However my point wasnt that. lets change Kershaw to Something like Innovative RC who i respect and make great products. But Losi arent exactly going to get IRC To start making them some diff gears are they? Theyll just do it in house.

dazp1976 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Said it before and I'll say it again. Will the idiot designers at Traxxas please change the diff ratio to 9T 29T. This will give it thicker teeth and solve all the problems. Thick as they are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered and payed for the Kershaw diffs in November, hoping they would be available before I needed them. Release date on his site still says EARLY DEC? I emailed Kershaw about 3 weeks ago to add the slipper spring to my diff order. They allowed my to add the $8.99 spring, then I got a email with a tracking info from Kershaw. I was thinking Ahhh, my diffs...NO, just a slipper spring. i don't need diffs yet, as my truck is still new, only 1 bash so far. If I could figure out that Chinises web page I would order a set? Anyone know how to order from their? I did install my Bluebird H50 servo...wow,wow, & WOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Tim fella servo works a treat mate very nice I saw these on rcmart the other day they looked like they had some nice specs but we all know specs can be how shall we say over rated lol .. this looks to be what it says though I take it your running it at 7.4v ? Chinese website is easy use your desktop than hit translate makes live easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timritchieblue Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 (edited) That's @ 6.0v, I'm still using the stock Rx/Tx. Will the receiver handle 7.2v? I hit the the translate button, I'm using my iPad, didn't translate anything. I'll try my laptop ina bit EDIT: translator does nothing?

It works on my desktop with the google translator just fine if that's any help but sadly not on my iPad .. I'm currently using the max6 and have that set at 7.4v on the bec running the stock rx and servo seems fine so far. Once I blow this stock servo I'll be getting one of those servos imagine how much better it will be at 7.4 if that's only 6.0 Edited December 18, 2016 by mydoddy69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushboy2004 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 You will need to cut you servo down - See manual from adapter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 They ran out of H50B's when I was upgrading the TXT-2 - still waiting for a couple of bits for that. This is the one I've shortlisted for my 'X' if/as/when I need to. I've read on the Traxxas forum that the Rx does not support 7.4V but some of them run it. Al.

Guess I should have looked at the instructions..lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you run the D845wp at 7.4v it's just as fast as the D840wp but with the added bonus of being 50kg not 30kg like the D840wp according to the specs but I haven't try them myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
