I do recall needing only 1 shim for a snug fit in the bulks, but gear mesh was spot on. Perhaps the Vorza cup you have is slightly out of tolerance. Did you measure any others?

No, but I do have it past 1/2 stick most of the time with multiple bursts of WOT. Generally takes me 20 min to use ~5500 mAh. Lots of high speed runs around the field, back and forth on a gravel...

Interesting. So far, Freddy, Josh, and Brian have stated having no tranny problems with the known to fail 29T and 32T gears; are any of you running 6S as your main setup?

My spur/pinion mesh is spot on. Regarding the tranny, if you don't have gear issues, then consider yourself lucky and enjoy your ride. Could be your driving style/frequency, could be that you ended...

Metal on metal grinding is not a pleasant noise. One of the common complaints I have noticed about this truck, even before I decided to buy one, is the noise it makes. I used to be uncomfortable...

Love the beetle body! You will be surprised at how quiet the Flux can be. Most of the noise comes from inside the tranny, and the oil eliminates that! Only downsides are it's very difficult to...

Just using the stock spiders until I run out of spares. I'm probably getting over 50 runs on a set, so it will be a long time before I run out of the 5 spare sets that I bought last year. I...

1520 rocks!

I think the 1520 is more than enough to push that truck around. A 1717 would get less run time, wear out the truck faster due to excessive torque, heat up the batts quicker due to larger current...

Yes; 87193. As for the Hardbodies, others have noted that they are slightly thicker gears than the stock Savage Flux ones.

ljoncp, The stock spider gears, cross pins, shims, etc. are a direct drop in. The Vorza cups are actually a hair smaller inside than the stock cups, so you may need to sand a few thousands off the...

Lube

I'm surprised to. I think it's all about what lube you run in them, and of coarse proper shimming. I know there are those that disagree with this, but I think grease and thinner diff oil, is much...
