Sorry Chad, I didn't get any pics of your new suspension set up. I wasn't sure if you wanted me dropping another one of your bombs on everyone. Tony might have got some. No rear suspension, that will get rid of torque twist !! | |

| Thanks MicroGoat !!!
Awesome idea for the skid plate/motor guard microgoat !!! I use RPM slipper covers on my T3 and B4 and love them. I've gotten so crawler I forgot where a Pede trans comes from. I had to notch it to clear the chassis beam and around the drive yolk, it let me squeeze a 90t spur under the hood. I haven't snagged the pinion on any rocks yet, but I've had to pick twigs and blades of dried grass out of the pinion teeth a few times. They haven't stopped me but it makes noise are causes wear spots on the spur. This should take care of that too. |

I don't have a mill or lathe, just a drill press, hacksaw, dremel, a pair of calipers, and a bunch of files. Patience is your best tool. | |

| Did you here that clicking???
Rover's chassis has been crawling flawlessly !! I've had a few screws need loctite and cracked some lexan, but nothing other than that. That's until the year old, recycled parts, used and abused axles spoke up. While working this nasty rock face out at Recker with Mitch, Rover's rear axle was clicking and poping. Not the O.K. kind or the not so bad kind, it was the the stop crawling kind. I kept crawling One of the spider arms broke a rode around the inner case. I've tried several ways of locking a TLT diff. Silly Putty ( limited slip), hot glue ( heavier limited slip), JB (ground into grey dust), and Tamiya's way to lock a 1/14 semi diff (same as TLT). Here's what I'm trying now...locked spool. I had a hard time drilling and tapping those holes !!!! The heads of the screws just clear, after some filing. It's super soild but I don't trust it. The three 2mm screws are still doing too much work and I think they'll give next. I can order one at D&D so I'm not too worried. I post an update after some crawl time. |
