Can't find much info on this. Do I need the spacer that comes with the RRP diff gear when I am going to use the Super Shafty 6mm out puts?

Finally got the parts today. They definitely bring the beef, but the fitment wasn't very good. I had to press the front output into the gear and the screw heads didn't clear the gear. Infact 2 of the 3 screws angled outward when lined up with the output. Maybe because I used the RRP gear and not Hot Racing?

That sucks but I'm not impressed with Robinson these days...pic? I'm about to replace mr RRP tranny gears with the new Axial hardened steel set.

I don't have pics of the process.I'll try to get a few of it installed. Wish I did. I'm 99% sure that its the gear and nothing SS did. Now that its all in and the headache is over and I don't have to worry about it any more, I'm very happy. It was just a Iit more work than screw together and go.

Still have a few things to figure out and need to paint the fuel cell. The fuel cell holds my MMP, BEC, LED control and has both on/off switches mounted in it with the switches facing down towards the links. 1 switch is still the ESC and the other is for my lights. The tool box holds all the excess wires and the RX. As long as my ESC stays cool this should work out well.

Its a tight fit with everything in there. I modded the cell and the 2 pieces are held together with Velcro. My only worry is everything getting to warm in there. So I'll keep close tabs on temps for the first few runs.

I know they're different. They didn't fit either way. Had to press 1 in no matter what.

Had some good crawl time on my lunch break today. This place is like the Hammers for rc cars. Haha.

Well, I got bored last night after the kiddo went to sleep. So I made a new windshield, slapped on some more scale stickers and made a Y harness for my battery so I can plug my ESC and my light bar into the 3s. It's a bit bulky, but does what I want it to do. Now I just need to get out and wheel it more.

They work killer. Better than any other scale tire I've ran. When you get another set of 5.7's you should get a set. Can't wait to try the light bar at night on 3s.

I can't get them. I really like the tSL's in the 1:1 world so that's the tire I'll get. Though knowing mevig won't matter I'll hack up whatever tire I get.

They are a good tire, but don't touch the pits, plus are much shorter. But will be easier on your drive train in the long run.
