Car is a Cat sx Phil Booth Lipo edition btw
Now this car is AWESOME, best 4wd ive ever had, but my question is this. IS a 5.5t unsensored too much for the drive train to cope with?? Its turned down to 80% throttle, brakes down to 30% and 0 timing advance. Still goes like a mofo on speed tho!!
Also what is the STANDARD spur and idler gear size?? the manual is as clear as mud and I need to get hold of these items TOMORROW as im racing it again Sunday. If anyone near to Crewe has the parts and wants to sell me some ill come running tomorrow with cash in me mitts!

Spur-83
Gears-23/33
Motor wont make any difference really
Daft question but do you know how to adjust the diffs and slipper properly, dont mean on the track i mean on the bench etc in your hand!
If you can afford the new layshaft and alloy pinions from schumacher buy them! They wont melt!
Id surgest replacing your layshaft bearings too if your doing the above!
You may have play in your layshaft due to knackered bearings!
Cant remember if youve said youve been chewing spur gears up or melting them? Melting is the slipper too loose or mesh too tight possibly.
Chewing them is either the screws underneath or side of gearbox not tight enough and they can easily edjust under high jumps and heavy landings!
Get yourself some quality EDS drivers to crank them up tighter!
Anything else just ask buddy
