Going to try these thrust bearings Jeremyh suggested in place of that one that was destroyed on the pinion.

Well the R35 BFG's came in today! They won't be going on this rig as I had hoped though. They are shorter than the Claws on the rig now, and I can't afford to give up the GC.

Camparison pic, Claw, BFG, and TSL all on 1" slws.

Hi guys,

Rowdy I love the Reaper so much I am building a similar truck. I have seriously studied the build threads on the truck and noticed something.

If I am not mistaken the slash front diff is geared at 37/13 and krawl in his build thread has a picture of a 36/14 for the rear.

front = 2.846
rear = 2.571 that is a .275 overdrive on the rear axle a 10.6% difference which may have contributed to krawls broken output and your destroyed bearing.

I am running axials hd 38/13

front = 2.846
rear = 2.923 for a .08 underdrive on the rear a 2.7% difference which is a much closer match, easier on the rear end and the rest of the drive train. Plus for crawling I think a .08 overdrive on the front would be helpful.

Finally unpacked the Reaper and bolted the tars back on from nats.

It was a blast to drive in the G6!

Going to take it out and shake the cobwebs out tomorrow.
