Default B-Max Build Tips

Hi Guys, Thought I would I would start a thread on build tips for the B-Max,

I have nearly built my car (with hex screws), Just shocks to do and its done.

This is what I tips I have come up with so far:

Diffs:

- Add extra grease to the diff balls and thrust race, I always use Associated Black Grease on the Thrust Race and Stealth Diff lube on the diff balls (my own personal favourites)

Shock Towers:

-Drill shock tower holes to 3mm, this allows the M3 bolt to be moved position easily as it moves freely in hole.

Drive Shafts:

- I took my ones apart and re thread locked them for peace of mind, but they were done very well in the factory.

Crown Wheel/Pinion:

-I have Built these as per kit shims, they were a little tight on the gear mesh but I added a small amount of Associated Black grease to the gears and ran the gear box for 10 mins and its nice and free and has a good tight gear mesh!


Thats about all I have found so far.. Please feel free to add your own build tips.
