I decided to start my own here instead of jumping in one the generic one.

Started with tear down and added some Losi aluminum, CCBEc and a Protek 170TBL servo.




Then I went for some Powrrstroke shocks and changed the diff fluid out for 1mil front and center.





I picked up a MC 3rd member but it's not made for the RR and needed a little help to clear the larger gear.





Then it was off the JEC for some links. I love these things and use them on almost all of my stuff so why stop now?









Got it all back together and took it out for a quick run when this happened to the center diff. I guess it's common on Losi's and people replace these with xray washers. The front output tried to make a getaway and push through the washer.



Xray washers are ordered so I'll be dropping them in the front and center diff this week. I haven't decided on wheels and tires yet but the foam in the stocks is way too soft and has to go soon.

I have a couple quick videos

Not sure a Yeti can do this? Got Steering?

Straight off the stairs? No problem.

That's awsome! Can't wait to see what you do with yours. Got a few things on order right now for mine!

I have to agree that the steering is so nice with this truck.

Whats the part number for the xray washers?

[Rjohn929]

964050. I didn't check the size of the original though. Hopefully they fit, if not I'll make them fit.

[84yoda]

Let us know if they fit or what you did to get them to fit. I already ordered the Xray washers.

[Rjohn929]

Got the washers in. Fit like a glove and felt much stronger then the Losi washers.

[84yoda]

Sweet, my washers showed up today. Thanks for the update.

What size is the pin? Wonder if a longer one would add more insurance.

And what weight you going to run now?

[Rjohn929]

A longer pin would help but it won't fit in the gear.

I filled it with Badhorsie locking grease this time around.

[84yoda]

Front and center diff? Let us know how it is, Im thinking about using that or 20m.

[84yoda]

Pulled my center diff today, the stock washer is 0.4mm thick and the xray is 0.3mm. Wonder if its anything to worry about? I figured it was going to be the other way around on thickness.

[Rjohn929]

Badhorsie in the center right now. I put 2 batteries through it and haven't had an issue with the center diff. I didn't even check the thickness. I don't worry about that stuff so much, I just put it together by feel and if it works it works. Lol

[84yoda]

For sure. How do you like the bad horsies? Good lock up with some give? I picked up some macks silicone putty ear plugs to try.

You can fit 2 each side making it 0.6mm thick. Or I found some 5x14x0.5 steel washers to try.

[Rjohn929]

Did you have a problem using 1? Mine seems to be fine.

[84yoda]

Lol no, but figured it wouldn't hurt. I don't want to risk the same thing happening to these Xray washers like stock. But maybe the Xray washers are better material?

So how's the bad horsies?

[Rjohn929]

I think it's the material. A lot of the SCTE racers have the same issue with the Losi washers. I read on their forum that some switch to the Xray washers.

The badhorsies is ok. It's not much of a diff locker so it's good as long as you don't plan on any slow crawling. I want to compare it to the 20mil but I can't for the life of me remember where I put it. Lol. As soon as I find it I will. I think I like the racers edge diff locking putty better. It's pretty much just silly putty but it gets it much closer to being locked.

[84yoda]

Thanks for the update. Thats why Ive been waiting to buy 20m or bad horsies because I figured it was like that. I'll give this macks a try but if not I'll have to give that racer edges a try. Seems like thats what Im looking for.
