Build questions.

[autoxvw]

Most of the build on the car is covered in the instructions but I do have a few things that I may have overlooked. When it comes to the diffs, what side of the car does the outdrive with the screw and thrust go? Does is matter? What should the belt deflection be on the front and rear belts? What other pistons (losi, AE, Kyosho etc) work in the shocks? And lastly, when doing the shock blader mod, do you cut the whole thing out so you just have a o ring or do you just make a hole in the center? Thanks in advance!

The direction of the diff doesn't matter, as long as you have locked them with the grub screw they should never loosen.

Belt deflection? Whats that? Just set them as per manual, I find the front on the Lipo car is too tight so slacken it by one notch.

Other pistons? No need & I don't know the answer. But im sure somebody else will confirm what will/won't fit.

If you cut the bladder, then remove just the baggy centre, not the O-ring outer. I haven't done this and can't see any benefit, the shocks built as per manual are amazing. Im sure somebody will describe the benefits of doing it for me and you.

thanks for such a fast responce. What I mean by belt deflection is the tension basically. I remember in my cougar 2 instruction book it showed you how to set the tension on the belt but I did not see any way to measure the slop in the sx belts in the instruction.

Thanks for clearing up my other questions for the most part

For belt tension, i run 1 setting looser than central - if you assume that the mark straight up is centre.

Pistons - Losi and AE don't fit, not sure about any others.

For Worksop ...........

Are you guys running the front one way with the std layshaft ? ( Chris and Matt )

Can i assume that a "locked" one way layshaft works exactly the same as the std layshaft as supplied with the kit ?

Have both of you guys took the 3mm or so off the top of the front yokes and fitted the ball joints flush minus any washers ?

Thanks muchly
