Stan's car was a std car at the F3's! So just order the kit & spare whishbones, shock towers, rear pivot plate, rear pivot support, hubs & gear box case. That should do for spares then you just need springs & pistons.
Theres some good setups on here if you look around. as for the brass bulkhead they were made by PW so you would have to ask him! not many people had them.

Yeah just a groveling letter to the customs officers not to sting you too hard on a parcel that big.

So much for supporting your local hobby stores, which you claim to do.

If customs hit you on that, must be what, $270 at least, add 17.5% vat thats £25 at least and then parcelforce, could be a £45 charge on it, minimum.

[ashleyb4]

Coming soon to the For Sale section.... World Championship winning AE B4......


Good luck with the Losi 2WD... just remember it's not always the car that improves the results, its the practice, practice, practice.

As for the spares you need for the CR, I'd only say you'll need Diff rebuild kits (thrust & main plates) and front wishbones.

[ashleyb4]

Thanks for the help phil i wish you all the luck with your b4 and d4.

Yea ive got a good reason now to practise more as i can practise with the new car and try to get used to it and to do some testing so in the process im also practsing.

Do you have to rebuild the diff alot??

A

[_sleigh_]

This is a personal thing, but I heated the CR diff and I mean HATED....

In the end I opted to run a XX-4 steel diff in mine.

The main problem I found was the combination of the "brass" slip ring and the main diff ring produced to much slip unless you boll***ed it up tight. And I thought that the main diff plate was too thin and therefore "soft". I ended up replacing them quite regularly.

Try it and see how you get on.... then either try the XX4 steel diff, or simply dremel a flat on the CR diff halves and use the XX4 diff plates.

[ashleyb4]

Oh cool i might do that straight away. Save encountering diff problems in the middle of a meeting that would bea nightmare xx4 diff rings it is. How long did you drive for losi for phil?

A

[ashleyb4]

Actually ive got a set of xx4 outdrives you give me phil would they work with xx4 diff rings then the cr hardware like the screw thrut race and the diff gear??
