Not built mine so not entirely sure what you are talking about.. but if its in the rear and it slips under load - which is the impression I'm getting. Could it be a primitive form of drivetrain protection, in other words a slipper ?
Or am I totally off target there ?
Like I said ive not even see the part so forgive me

The diff plates are indexed, so 'shouldnt' slip on the plate, plus, once it slips, it just gets worse.

The only reason I can thing of, is cost, maybe...

Is it possible to glue some thin sand paper type stuff to the back to give some friction on the diffhalf and stop it slipping?
I don't remember what had that but I reckon it was either my procat or an old RC10.

Before I ordered the one piece item I decided that when I built mine up (with the std parts) that I would superglue it together. When you look at the manual it will make sense.

Looking at the KM-RC website today, they have removed the "Worldwide Release date 15th Nov" quote. And have listed it in their NOVEMBER NEW ITEM.

Still says Pre order now on the bottom of the Dark Impact page though. So it might/might not be out yet. Fingers crossed soon though.

The 3Racing chassis turned up this morning. Came already assembled. Looks pretty tidy.

how much was it in total?? looks good though, just wish they had left a little more room on the rear of the chassis to mount the TRF suspension blocks...

3racing didn't want to play with me, but let us know how you get on with it. someone on another forum pointed out that side-by-side cells might short out on that ??

It's available from Stella for just less than £50. The uggo silver graphite is a bit more.

Are you planning on running the DI at the CML raceway Neo? I notice from your Tamiyclub profile you are local.

Elliott.

Hi Elliot, well I bought the DI as a project really, but since found this website and also heard of CML Raceway. So, ended up yesterday buying myself a B4FT. ALthough, im having fun with the learning curve invloved in charging cells. Just got me a Pro Peak Elite and am close to a panic attack figuring it all out :study: so as soon as I can work out how to charge cells properly I will be up CML as soon as possible. (any links to charging terminology and HOW TO's would be appreciated anyone. Please feel fee to PM me)

I am tempted, but I would have to heatshrink the cells or find a way of insulating the carbon fibre.

The reason for wanting them blocks is to take the suspension loading off the rear gearbox and give some adjustability.

I know what you mean. I have a couple of stick packs that im gonna chuck in it to have a test drive, so insulation aint a prob. Although race packs would be iffy.

can you whack a picture up of a pack of cells installed, to see if there is room for foam padding or something on the carbon??

Wouldn't you have to machine off the current hinge pin mounts on the rear gearbox, so you will be able to mount the blue alloy ones?

What cells do you have Neo?

Elliott.
