Build questions

[benspray]

Hi All,

Im just building an X10, last time I built a 1/10th scale was a Lazer ZX-R about 15 years ago so bit of a learning curve on this one again :-)

Anyway, Ive spent some time on the-pred.co.uk website and got some tips etc for during the build however I cant find any info yet on a few things that Im unsure on.

Mainly:

What weight of silicon grease to use on the ball diff and how much to use?
how much grease to use on the thrust races
what grease to use on the bevel gears

I built the diffs up last night with some grease that I had from 1/8th nitro and probably unsurprisingly they are creating a lot of friction in the drive train so may have to strip and regrease with a lighter grease (Im happy with the adjustments etc)

Next, the propshaft has got around 1.6mm end float which seems ok but the spur gets very close to the front of the recessed area that the bottom goes into - is this going to be an issue?

I shimmed the diffs and seems ok if a little tight even without shims on the drive side - guess it will wear in a little?

Probably be some more questions tomorrow after tonights build time :-)

Cheers

Ben
