You guys see the new VP wraith universals? Crazy expensive.

Shoot for the fall but there is a really big lake that Johnny has to walk around by me

True. You can buy two sets of the axials for the price of these. Looks like they've got them for the SCX axels as well.

I wonder if you can get replacement pins for them. I bet that's the point that will take the most abuse. The ball and cup shouldn't degrade that much as long as you keep them lubed up.

[johnnyh66]

he says they are rebuildable and as strong as Super 300's.

[neillarson]

Damn, nice.

[johnnyh66]

I think I'm going to get an ALICE pack with frame to carry the rigs.

Gah, building two trucks at once is a PITA!

Ha, welcome to my world. I have the attention span of a gnat so I always have at least 2 projects started, right now I have 4. Plus the rebuild of the Wraith axles (slop in the bearings) and rebuild of the Mog front end (broken axle brace.).

(EDIT) and I never seem to drive mine so, I am not sure with I am doing.

just focus on one at a time!

or you could do it assembly line style where you build all the axles, all the shocks, trannies, etc.

i got my fast eddie bearings, gonna start tearing down timmy and the wraith, which reminds me i really need to get some of those dlux no slop chub washer things. the slop from the chubs along with the slop from the stubaxles creates about 1/8" or so overall slop at the wheel, and it drives me crazy.

[neillarson]

That is the problem I am having on the front end. Thought it was all bears. I will have to see what Eric is making.

Did you use the Fast eddy code I posted in the private area?

But yeah, I was going to slap on the Fast Eddy bearings for the Slash... ordered a new Robinson output gear as Ill use an AX10 tranny as opposed to Wraith tranny in the Class 3. Also ordered some RC4WD Hardcore Scale Trailing Arms... so I had them before they disappeared; may just try doing a more 'scale', or scaleish, Slash with a solid rear axle rather than IRS.

i think my slash is here at work.

Do you guys understand the advantages and disadvantages of a center differential vs. a slipper in a SCT? Seems like the racers use the center dif while the bashers tend to stay with the slipper. I understand what it does but I'm not sure I understand why one is better than the other.

[johnnyh66]

the center diff eliminates wheelies... after seeing DL's trampede (?, I want the slipper!

It'll corner better w/the diff

[badhoopty]

after seeing ricks, i DONT want my rig to behave that way.
