What were the exact dimensions of those spacers? 3/16" spacers (3.57mm) wide and 8mm inside diameter? outside diameter?

Thanks! They're 9/64" wide which comes up to about 3.56mm. 8mm inner diameter and about 12.7mm outer I think.

Yes, I know I need this spacers. Already wrote the guys at the website you posted concerning a quote for max. 10 spacers + shipping. I just don't need 25 pieces which is the smallest quantity they offer. But if you have some spacers lying around which you don't need that would be awesome & I get my PayPal ready!

btw Your truck looks fantastic, but I didn't expect anyrhing else from you!

That setup is gonna be nice! So far my BP diffs are holding up. I have the 1717 too but the 1520 works out so good I don't have the need to use the 1717. I couldnt resist the sales either!

I thought you could buy the spacers individually? Well PM me your address and I can ship you out a set since I have a bunch of extras. I figured I'd get the 25pc order in case there would be a few people who tried the 5t axles as well.

Why'd you go with the 5T axles instead of just using the XL axles? Seems like the latter might have been a cheaper option. Then again, the XL axles a prone to break where the threads begin; was that the issue?

The whole idea was to get away from the threaded axles and to use axles that actually used fit a buggy/truggy 17mm adapters. Not to mention the XL drive cups use the smaller dog bones compared to the Flux

Well, that would be incorrect. The XL and Flux both use the same drive cups and suspension dogbones. The XL axles are just longer by about .5" inches. :)

Yeah you're right. Either way it still has the threaded ends which I really did not want. The only solutions were the 5T axles or the Integy adapters. Both of which I have... the 5T axles just feel a lot beefier than the Integy adapters on the stock axles.

I have also one XL set of diffs with cups and the flux dogbones do not fit as they are bigger.

Im sorry but you are wrong, they do fit. The XL and Flux drive cups are 11mm for the 11mm balls on the dogbones.

Flux Dogbone part #: 86246
XL Dogbone part #: 86246

Flux Drive Cup part #: 86248
XL Drive Cup part #: 86248

Flux Axle: 86928
XL Axle: 86249

I've got two XLs and one Flux. Just saying. And LiqrSicc you should check out my 5T conversion for what i did with the XL axles and the Baja 5B hexes; granted they wont work for your application, but you could do something similiar with the ofna hex adapters if you cant source 5T axles.

Hi.

I mean those from diff to the wheel side. Center ones are perfect fit. :)

[thzero]

Dejan, sorry but you are not correct. What I listed were the diff cups for the XL and Flux that connect via the SHD (11mm ball) dogones to the XL and Flux axles. The cups that connect the tranny/gearbox to the rear/front dogones are the standard 8mm cups.

Please refer to the manuals:

XL: http://www.hpiracing.com/kitinfo/104246/
Flux: http://www.hpiracing.com/kitinfo/104240/

Or the European versions, which don't differ:

XL: http://www.hpieurope.com/kit-info.ph...&partNo=104248
Flux: http://www.hpieurope.com/kit-info.ph...&partNo=104242

Like I said I have three of these guys; one XL nitro, one XL convert to 5T conversion (see my other thread), and then a Flux (or will be once I decide on the whether to run a standard TVP/axles or XL length TVP/axles).

My bad, I checked now at my car and they are the same.
I have remembered now the driveshaft was cousing problems.
I bought flux driveshafts and guy send me driveshafts with 9mm inside hole.
