So i tore open my entire diff and yhe only thing I saw wrong was that there wasn't grease in it. So I reassembled it and greased the ring and pinion real well.. Hopefully this helps.

didnt you hear....TLT axles dont work well for crawling, you should just give them to me...... Big Grin


Sunday I ripped my truck apart, moved the tranny over 1cm to line the DS up better, which them meant I had to build a new dig. I also switched out the front shocks and trimmed up the front axles (yes Ponch I actually listened to what you said)
Good news is, the truck seems to work better than before.
Bad news is, I cant get my brake to stay together, dang CA just doesnt want to hold. And the front axle is clicking realy bad....makes me wonder what I broke now Sad

FYI clod axles are on their way....2.2 stick hear I come!!!

I can think of a couple good Chassis...iA or Talon would work best I think.

I wish Bernie would contact me about when he wants the work day for the course @ LHR...

iA is HERE!!! - RCCrawler.com Bulletin Board

Introducing the Talon Bodyless Chassis "Buggy" - RCCrawler.com Bulletin Board

I hear the vendor for iA is looking for a tester for it, You'll have to agree to some stipulations for sure but it would be worth it.

I really like that talon chassis. I was waiting to see jeff finish a course before I bought one though lol jmwy Jeff hehe. I'm thinking of changing things up a tad and I for some reason love the looks of it. My current one doesn't have that many diffrent setup options.

I finished both runs @ rc hobbies!!!! Dont blame the chassis...its my crappy prep that has been killing me but, thats going to stop. I tore Talon completly apart last night and its getting an r2d, losi shocks etc...all the good stuff for once.
