.AJ. Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 Cool, I'll have a chat with him. I want to get it re-anodised at some point, I don't fancy having a silver chassis tbh, it think it will look a bit too "bling" for my my liking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Your earlier PCSC woes now make sense.....Stupid flux conversion kit is narrow, hence the short layshaft......As I discovered bolting the rail up the other evening.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 You probably already know, but freeze the bearings before putting them in, they'll slide in so much easier they're a very tight fit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 Yep, going to heat the hubs up in the oven and chill the bearings in the freezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Now you need the heim joints to match :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 Yep, the IRP ones came back into stock at DDM earlier today (the Hostile Heims look a bit poo to me) and I've also ordered the matching ones for the front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I liked the Hostile ones, never failed on me anyway so couldn't grumble. Just been offered another set of Hostile hubs actually, quite tempted, although my current 5sc ones are fine... Might futureproof it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 There's a set on a few FB groups for about £30, but they are 2degree ones tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Yeah I've seen Zachs... 2Deg for me is perfect, it's the right blend of handling and speed IMO, unless you only do one very specific thing with your buggy/truck of course. Always found the best happy medium to be 2 though, tempted to buy 'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 I've been happy with the handling so far, so I've stuck with 4degree hubs, I have dialled out a bit of rear camber tho, so I get more even tyre wear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Yeah 4deg is great for handling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Three degrees for myself, four for the wife. Really didn't think there would be a noticeable difference, but there is...... She couldn't keep in a straight line with three, four cured that, however the B is slightly slower than the Beast, which weighs more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 More toe in at the rear adds straight stability, but at the loss of top speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I found it easiest to keep straight with 0 deg oddly. I went to 2, 3 then 4, to see how they compared, settled on 2 as the best all rounder for what I do at least. Very easy to swap the 5sc over, so kept testing it, as Noj, I didn't think it'd really make a difference lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 From racing 1/10 2wd, I know rear toe, camber and anti squat make a huge difference in how a car handles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Indeed, it's one of those things you imagine to be a bit of a selling gimmick though. I crumbled and bought Zachs hubs lol, will give them a go, I know they'll never break! Just need some o rings now, not sure exactly what size they are either.
