This took some doing!

And the receipt!

Ditto

How did you get that, not that i am remotely interested in having one

Thanks for your input folks. Now it's back together and greased again I think it's slightly better than it was to start with. Happy to leave as-is now I know it's basically normal! Thanks again.

I have fitted the new roof spot light bar to my Mog, seems the hard bed i ordered is going to be arriving mid march now due to Chinese hols, at the mo the spots come on with the battery plugged in but i have an LED light controller i need to put in so i can turn spots on/off from radio, the spots are not as bright as they look in pic

Just picked up a Arrma Typhon with a 6000mah 3s for £120! Bargain!!

Spent another few hours on the bench this afternoon as the bearing kit came in, allowing me to rebuild both axles again and fit the SSD knuckles, and also received some long RPM Traxxas rod ends and fitted them to one end of all three front links. This stretches the wheelbase by 9mm, bringing the axle forward and away from the rear of the fenders, and improving the approach angle and overall stability as well as massively improving the stance too - i’ve always thought it looked too short in the front end and this gives it better proportions. Before After While I’m happy with this setup for now, i have found a supplier in Australia i plan on buying from that will build a custom set of titanium links and custom tuned shocks for a reasonable price. I’ve also bitten the bullet and upgraded my drivers too - my Arrowmax drivers weren’t that comfortable, with the knurling being particularly savage, and were getting very sloppy after only really building and maintaining just this rig, so thought i’d get some higher quality. I’ve had Tekno wrenches in the past, and loved the quality of the tips but the handle was just an open tube at the top and again, not the most comfortable to use. A quick look around the net and found these Protek TruTorque SL drivers got rave reviews, and weren’t that badly priced at only £50 the set. I’m probably more excited for new tools than i was for the wheels 🤣🤣

glad to hear its faster and that your making progress with the car

The usual response is see what others are running at your club. The general advice I’ve seen is to get the front diff as close to locked as possible without actually locking it, since locked diffs are prohibited at my club. My son’s car is on the standard unsealed diffs. I’m planning to put 500,000cst in the front as that should stiffen it up without leaking. Rear I’ll leave more or less open but might add some more AW grease. The thing with most grease options is they just get flung to the outside of the diff casing and stick, so the diff loosens up over time.
