chilau Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Not sure if this info has been posted about 6s and 8s diff gears, I'm in the process of upgrading some bits on my 6s 6S has 42t ring and 13t pinion = 3.23 ratio 8s has 35t ring and 11t pinion = 3.18 ratio so hardly any change in final drive ratio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am await centre diff and other parts from Jenny's RC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilau Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Going to keep my sons 6s xmaxx on Rock Passion gears, the front has some small chips in the teeth which manifests itself as clicking under very hard braking, they will probably still be fine for a good while though even with the damage. The cast Traxxas gears crumble up when they get damaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hegs44 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Hi Gang, So I’m lucky to live right in the middle of loads of forest, including lots of lovely mountain bike jumps etc. Getting some good height/air. I run stock springs and stock oil rating. So guru’s, for this style of rough off road bashing jumping etc what shock spring, shock oil F/R and or height should I be thinkIng about. Regards Hegs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I run with 1.199 springs up front and 1.346 on the rear and just 32.5 oil in the rear and 30wt oil up front tried thicker oil harder springs etc but found this to be where I like it best for pretty much all occasions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I reckon that will be great for jumps but possibly a little 'bobbly' on grassland ... ?? Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushboy2004 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 So had to replace a rear arm today as 18 months of jumping it failed. Ran in it a problem the pin holding the shock in was stuck solid and had to cut old arm to free it but the pin seems to have rusted to the Pin. I check the other side it is also stuck solid . the joys of wet weather bashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep enough to not want you going in and plenty deep enough to skim over and ride on the surface rather than just push the water out the way, in the middle it would have easily covered the truck completely, round the edge though it’s quite shallow but probably enough to come upto the the roof of the truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
