I've faced so much frustration in the past, but with a clear head and a short break, you'll figure it out. Yes they can, im on holiday this week and was looking forward to some adrenaline fueled rc fun before the storm hits later this week, thats all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a similar issue a few years ago with my savage xl , the spur was hardened steel and i fitted a standard clutch bell although it last a good bit longer that 30 seconds!

Yes it was, it has them pin things on the motor so you cant go wrong and there was just a touch of slop between the gears, enough to be happy with. I did take also apart the cush drive just make sure there was nothing damaged in there either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie1 Posted October 21, 2023 Author Share Posted October 21, 2023 The postie arrived today with the haul of goodies, some i have installed, others will be done at a later date when other stuff arrives installed the spur holding plate and installed a new 50t spur gear and 18t pinion Then installed front and rear anti roll bars, i may change to the thicker ones in the kit but have stuck the mediums on for the moment Also replaced the cush drive as mine was destroyed, may get a delete eventually but will keep with it for a while and see how they last,looking forward to the better weather tomorrow to get it out and test it all out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie1 Posted October 22, 2023 Author Share Posted October 22, 2023 So am just in after having this out and my thoughts on what i have changed are night and day, with the extended hubs and the anti roll bars it handles unbelievably well, this is how the truck should have come from the factory! With the set up of my spur and pinion it was always noisy and when i reassembled everything yesterday i set up the 18/50 gears with the pin system at 17/50 truck sounded so much better with way less mesh slop, so very happy with the outcome, just meed more 4s batteries now so the fun lasts longer 🤭 😜 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt have said the turning circle is much larger, in fact it can be less now, as now you can make the back end slide around when turning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie1 Posted October 28, 2023 Author Share Posted October 28, 2023 Last night after work after my delivery of diff and shock oils arrived decided to check and top up all the diffs, i felt somewhat sad at paying £60 for oils lol, also got fitted the hardened steel main diff gear and the gear behind the cush drive fitted. That 20million oil was is unbelievable thick and expensive at £17 for a little pot but should refill the diff a few times. Also bought 2 more DXF POWER 10000mah lipo as i really like the run times on the ones i already have, i also have a couple of the 8400mah ones and i am sure that it wheelies better (could be an illusion, i dont know) with the 10000 ones so i like them better and the fact that they fit perfectly in the battery tray. The diff gears were wet inside so there was fluid in there but i couldnt see any really so glad i got them filled too, i just put 50000 in both the front and rear. When i got to my shocks they were probably 8-10mm down from the top and they have no signs of leaks so i can only assume they werent filled properly i put 40 weight oil in which is slightly thicker than stock as i have extended the axles and the wide kit says to put thicker oil in, so now i need some better weather to get it out again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 are your 8400 and 10,000 bats the same C rating ? If say 1 set was 60c and other set is 80c the higher c rate will allow more power through the esc/motor and could allow it to wheely easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
