1- which silicone oil do you recommend for the diffs?
2- since the rear/center cva is too long did you have any issue about that, will not bend way too easy. Im not too sure about those centers cvas, the rear is too long and the front one have a lot of ¿"angle"?.
3- to use the mechanical brakes i just will need an y arness? or i will need something to reverse the servo independtly of the radio reverse?
4- why tekno use a two shoes clutch system instead of a three cluth system? it is because with a 2 cluth one you can go reverse with the car?

Hope that make sense, sorry about my language.

1. For the diffs, follow the instructions or one of the setup sheets available online. The only thing you may want to do is go a little thicker than normal in the center diff - maybe 1-2k higher if desired.

2. Not sure what you mean about the center CVA being too long. Please post a picture of the center drive shaft, they should fit our chassis perfectly. The front is angled a bit more (but still less than a Losi). We've had no issues with this.

3. For mechanical brakes, you can use a Y splitter or use 3rd channel mixing on your radio if available. The brakes will work in both directions so if you don't have channel mixing it will still work.

4. Our two-shoe system is lighter than big block clutch systems and has been working great on monster trucks, buggys and truggies since we started using them over 2 years ago. Just make sure you run the shoes in the correct orientation and that the clutch is shimmed properly to cover all of the shoe.
