XXL w/the 1717

[jpoprock]

Yeah bro, that's sweet nectar right there! I can tell that can has a lot of torque. Seems like it's got a very smooth throttle band. That truck handles really well too. I think my ELST2 needs lowered just a tick cuz it's a little tippy.

I had to pull the tranny tonight cuz it lost it's mesh. One of the pins on the inner shaft snapped. Not sure what else I can use to keep them from breaking? I had been hearing a brief click or nappy sound and thought it was one of my diff's starting to go. I can never remember how to "test them" without pulling them? I'm still not sure that isn't a problem or if it was in the tranny this whole time. I'm gonna fix the tranny (I run XXL gears in it btw) tomorrow and see if the noise is still there. If so I'm probl looking at a new output pinion. Can't remember what they are called, sorry. But I have multiple rebuilt diffs, and I'm short on those pinion shafts that lead to the tranny.

I also tapped the rear shock tower and chassis to take 4mm screws. I'll do the fronts later. It's very solid now. I'm just buying time before I move it all over to the XXL chassis
anyway.

I am thrilled with my setup, but I'm smelling a 1717 in my future now!

Btw .... What weight diff oil are u running? Also, do you have the Nova cups in that truck?

Great job!
