Changing my 7-7-3 carpet diff oil setup to 5-5-3

Swapping the 4 screws that hold the spurs to the diffs with HPI Flat Head Screw M2.5x12mm : DO THIS. The Losi screws suck and strip every time. These HPI screws have a good hex and won't strip. ever.

: DO THIS. The Losi screws suck and strip every time. These HPI screws have a good hex and won't strip. ever. installing the MIP 39t spur gear. Why ? Just because I like to use it :)

Modified the stock shock pistons : drilled 2 holes out to 1.3mm, glued 2 holes shut to end up with the 2-hole 1.3mm pistons Casper & Nano liked very much.

I'll be using the Losi Racing Springs when I assemble my shocks on sunday-morning. (The guys from my LHS will bring me lighter shock oil - hooray for beeracing.nl :))

Pro-tip :

the MIP 41t spur gear doesn't play nice with the King Headz chassis, since the KH doesn't use the plastic riser for the diff-mount the spur-gear is too big and gets stuck on the chassis.

If you have a KH chassis, the MIP 41t spur gear can not be used.

I have heard the same thing for the MIP chassis but I have no personal experience with that. Proceed with caution :)









I'll be heading off to a dirt-track race sunday; I hope to be able to get there by 8am which would give me an hour and a half to test/tune my car.Since I normally drive indoor on a smooth carpet track, I have to completely change my setup...I'll figured I'd start out with something that comes close to Ryan Dunford's 2012 setup , and use the ample time on sunday morning to test&tweak from there.Preparational work done tonight :the MIP 41t spur gear doesn't play nice with the King Headz chassis, since the KH doesn't use the plastic riser for the diff-mount the spur-gear is too big and gets stuck on the chassis.I have heard the same thing for the MIP chassis but I have no personal experience with that.
