Thanks! I'm sure you could do the same setup if you had the tools and put your mind to it

Haha thanks. It still has the metal spur on it, so it's a bit noisy but it's alright. Weight distribution is good, little heavier in the front than it was before so I might have to play with the shocks to get it just right. I'm going to a small track tonight so we'll see how it does.

Been racing this a bit, not as much as I want to and on a small track. I love the truck, won't sell it. I'm going to build a 1/8 buggy, probably an RC8. Not sure if I'll do a custom two pack design like this one or just buy Mike's kit. If it's as good as people say it is, Mike will probably be getting my money this time!

Were you having problems with the pin inside the side of the spider gears. The one that goes in the outdrive. I find it to be smaller than the similar buggy or truggy pins. Did you ever break one of those pins? LMK as I am also building one. Thanks in advance.

I've never had a problem with the diffs. Actually, this whole truggy has been hands down the toughest thing I've had. I've ran into walls, poles, berms, cartwheeled, endo'ed, slapped the chassis - you name it - and this truggy has laughed at it. The only time I've broken anything is when I've hit the same I beam of the indoor track with the right side tire, broken 2 arms this way. It was driver error and I was going pretty fast when it happened.

I had the outdrive come loose on the rear once, but I put locktite on it and no problems since.

Thanks for the positive input.
