My dad gets off work at 7 and is gonna pick me up and take me to the house, can start working then!

 

[TriggerHappy]

Good deal

 

[dadlifex3]

Thank you @TriggerHappy. I am too.

@K-BASH that’s a nice setup. May need to look at that myself in the future. Do you bash that off-road with the same motor/esc?

Need a new front bulkhead. Should I stock up on a few factories or splurge for the hot racing?
Hard to tell from the exploded view. I’m assuming the front top hinge pin goes into the bulkhead?

Just found out the truck has been on punch setting 4. Changed it to 7. Let’s see how this goes lol

 

[dadlifex3]

So I’m thinking it’s not the bulkhead. It’s the piece that the top front hinge pin goes into. Trying to figure it out without having to take front end apart.
Is this it? But HR model

 

[K-BASH]

Im getting this today.mojave has broken 3 F.U..this one i got in 2 day shipping

 

[dadlifex3]

Very nice! @K-BASH if my LHS does not have the HR one I’ll see about ordering that one. Hard to beat the two day shipping with Amazon.

The best thing you can do is take it apart first. It’s difficult to see exactly what is broken otherwise. You can easily end up taking it apart only to discover additional parts you need such as bent hinge pins or screws.

 

[dadlifex3]

Yeah needed up taking it apart earlier just to make sure. I’ve already gotten on a first name basis with LHS within two months

 

[dadlifex3]

They didn’t have one. Guess I’ll just order some M2C parts.

Front and rear shock towers
Front and rear braces
Upper arm hinge pin thing that I need

 

[L3phturn]

Lol, swatting flies with a sledgehammer. I approve.

All is well, hard lesson to learn. HH warrantied both and a input gear but was a two month backorder. I went ahead n ordered what gears shims pins i needed and got it back going. Im 8 packs into it with no probs. I went a little crazy on how thick i did the diff oil though. I can put it on the roof at 40 mph ??

@Lovestricken you look like me with all those bagged diffs! ?

I just picked up a notorious 6s....what diff oil thickness did you go with in f/c/r ?

 

[TriggerHappy]

70/500/30

 

[Gecko1blx]

I've got 100k and 500k diff oil...can I go 100/500/100? That's all I can get my hands on.

I have 100/500/30k F/C/R. You won't want 100k in the rear. When you're on the throttle you'll hardly be able to steer. 100k in the front allows you to turn very directly when off throttle/braking

 

[dadlifex3]

All I ever see is people shimming in the front and rear diffs. Do any of you shim the center diff as well? Have some 200k on hand and was thinking about throwing some in there and while I’m at shimming.

For the internal gears yes, with Mugen E0206 shims. You won't need to shim the bearings

 

[dadlifex3]

Got ya. I still have some shim in that kit left over. Will give it a try. Thank you
