So does that mean the diff itself is standard 1/8 scale, since those are standard 1/8 scale diff-lockers?

got the kit... it has kost me 230$ and you just get some screws, and I dont have a clue where to put them, and some places misses screws and junk... i wasted my money..
Mike stop editing my posts!!!! i might be stupid, but i still feel like i wasted my money... and i dont need help... I own this site - I will edit as i see fit. :) Monster Mike |
Save the screws you pulled off the ten-t when you removed the nitro components....the 2biggest screws go into the rcm center diff mount...the 2 skinny long ones go into the top plate of the center diff....and the rest go into securing the battery tray...and the center diff spacer....I know it doesn't come with intructions but the putting the kit together is pretty easy....if your unsure just place the screws that came in the kit into the bottom of the tray and motor mount/top plate before you attach it toyour truck jut to see which screws go where...but don't force any screws in....BC you might strip the holes....oh yeah, and the screws that's in the small black plastic cylindrical shaped piece goes into the motor and it makes adjust gear mesh easier so that now all you have to do is loosen one screw to adj gear mesh....hope this helps....and no, you did not waste your money...mike make top notch stuff...and if something is wrong he will be new than happy to fix it for ya ;)

hootie thanks:D i have mounted it, and i have had other stuff from mike... that was great... i was /am disappointed with this product.. :(
|
Well, provide pics of any parts you are having trouble mounting and we'll tell you where it goes. I imagine it's very close to the kit I got (maybe even some improvements), and it looks and works well.

Wow! I am reading your post but I don't understand why you are so upset?
-it has kost me 230$ ... I am sure it cost you that much due to shipping, taxes, duty etc... -and you just get some screws... did you not receive the battery tray, strap, diff mount, spur and pinion gear? If not you might have to talk to your mail man as these are all included in the kit (shrink wrapped btw) -and I dont have a clue where to put them... I am sure many here are willing to assist. -and some places misses screws and junk... this was an issue that only some of us were having and it was mentioned a few pages back and if I recall Mike was addressing it. No junk was included with my kit. -i wasted my money... sounds like buyers remorse, sorry, cant help you with that. |

i did get the things, but when i say "just got some screws" i mean you just get the things and have to guess where hey need to be mounted. But as i said: I have mounted it now and still feels like i wasted some money but F*** it:) |

Maybe you should have waited and found out more about it before you decided to buy it so you would know what to expect out of it, and how much it was going to cost with the duties/taxes. You have no excuse to be disappointed except your own impatience. |

but im disappointed and all of you might be very happy... im not, and thats how i feel.. i did expect that it was good since it took about 2 months to make! |
I don't understand. You were happy with all of Mike's other products. I'm quite sure this kit is nothing from the ordinary from Mike, just a little updated.
|
You certainly have the right to be disappointed, yet It seems the main complaint is the lack of instructions? It seems you got it together pretty quickly based on your posts in this thread, though. Is there something in particular that has let you down? Are the pictures and product description innaccurate or something else that I can address(aside from the customs fees, which basically doubled the cost of the kit to you)? What improvements would you like to see? Expressing your feelings of discontent is all good and fine, but how about something specific regarding the kit? What "wasn't good" about it specifically?

Im having a hard time to write what i mean.. easy in danish, but hard in english:(
The main complaints are the screws that "screwed" me up XD and i had expected abit more for the price (without tax)... but nevermind. i have the kit, and its mounted, so f... it. and when i wrote my first post today i had been trying for about ½-1 hour. And about the post editing, i dont see why i wasnt allowed to write that i wasted my money??!! |

If money was wasted, it was wasted on instant gratification, rather than Mike's kit. Put the blame where it belongs. |
You expressed that you "wasted your money" several times already - just nothing specific. Perhaps you will write it a few more times? The screws "screwed you up" is pretty vague and hard to imagine that it would cause such a reaction. The parts I made require metric screws, which were included. "More for the price" is vague as well - the kit includes everything needed to convert the vehicle - what more would I include? The price is based on the work to make the kit - I don't mass-produce the items in China by the thousand - I actually make them myself in small batches where I have control over the quality, material and also have the ability to update between batches. Without something specific I must assume you don't have much specific to write about, aside from the cost of the kit? The price was established before you made the purchase. Well, thanks for buying the kit and hopefully you can drive it some and get some value out of it - perhaps you will fell less like you "wasted money" after relieving some stress with a good old fashioned rc car driving session. If you think of anything specific I can do to improve the kit, please feel free to express these thoughts. :)
