New Jammin SCRT project. carbon, 1/8 shocks, and mech brakes.

[Ryu James]

hey guys,
i recently picked up a Jammin SCRT and have building it out. Doing lots of upgrades to it and i have a couple questions. i will post some pics of my progress so far in just a bit. but can anyone help me out on these?

1. the center diff of the SCRT is all plastic and doesnt have the metal insert that holds the outdrive as in 1/8 diffs. as a result the outdrives are not centered well and wobble slightly. i would like to upgrade to actual 1/8 diffs but the SCRT diff is quite small. i know the Inferno MP9 buggy uses a very small diff and a couple other buggies do. anyone know if there is a 1/8 buggy diff small enough to fit the SCRT that i could swap? or if you have a MP9 and a SCRT maybe check for me

2. i will be putting mechanical brakes on my Jammin also. i feel this will give me a little edge at the track and bottom line is i just much prefer mech brakes. it wasnt an option with my 4x4 PE but since the jammin uses a 1/8 style layout this will be no problem. i have picked up several of the brake components already from the CRT.5 as it uses the same chassis components but i have one question. Does the CRT.5 use 1/8 size dogbones? the center diff outdrives for the CRT.5 look like 1/8 size but the SCRT uses a much smaller 1/10 size dogbone and outdrive cups. i am just wondering if i am going to have to get new dogbones to run brakes or if these outdrives just look large in the pic but are actually smaller?

anyway, more questions to come i am sure. i will post up some pics in just a bit.
