Yes the diff is awesome
And to make it even better buy the front suspension kit from schumacher. But don't forget the 4 grommets you need to buy. Pain to get in but I used a littlle fairy liquid to persuade them in to position

Is there a special tool needed to true down the tires for the supastox?
I'm just asking this because last wknd i saw these cars at the track i went and they look great so i'm considering to buy one of this great cars. So i have no idea of what the wheels look like on the inside, just asking this to know more of what i'm willing to start with |

I have already a tire trues on order, it's on it's way to me but that wasn't the question.
The question was do i need a special tool to be able to true down the supastox tires on the tire truer. Meaning the mounting tool on wich you mount the tire/wheel what kind of tool is it that you would need. As far as i know of there are 4 kind of mounting tools, for 1/8th scale wheels (wich i think it won't fit in the wheels), for 1/10th scale touring car wheels, for 1/12th scale pan car wheels or for Tamiya F1 wheels. |

The item you need is called an Arbor.
Try here... http://www.mardavespares.com/foam-ty...e-truer-arbour Or here... http://www.activescalemodels.co.uk/m...ur-14403-p.asp |

If the truer doesn't have a threaded shaft you'll need to drill, tap & grub screw the Mardave arbour and file a flat on the truer shaft. Or you can drill through the arbour and shaft and use a strong body clip to hold it in place. If the truer has a threaded shaft then the Mardave arbour just screws on if the threads are the same.

Please check which truer you have ordered. Does it have a screwed shaft that will fit the Mardave arbor? Most have a plain 8mm shaft and that arbor will not fit. If you don't have the tools to modify the arbor as Glenn said, you're a bit stuck!
Strangely, neither Mardave nor Schumacher do an arbor that fits an 8mm shaft, and more truers have that attachment than any other!! |

Yup, that's the one. I made my own from an old Integy TC arbor and the axle from a PB Mustang! Is that commercially available? If it is, Addicted needs one!

That truer has an 8mm shaft for the arbor. HTH
|
#75
|
|||
|

that means bad luck
I thought the arbors are universal, guess i need to find another solution. |

Perhaps maybe the arbor from the following link is designed for a regular 8mm shaft or isn't it, doesn anybody know this for sure?

I have a TopCad truer. 8mm plain shaft. Drilled and tapped Mardave arbor and filed a flat on the shaft.
