Blitz ESE CVD with Gear Diff - Compatible

[JezT]

I've recently fitted my Blitz ESE with a Gear Diff; Only just noticed that there is very little clearance between the back of the outdrive and the end of the CVD - to the point that arm movement is restricted. Do I need to change to dogbones and RTR rear axles?

I run a gear diff and cvd's and have no clearance issues, have you got the rubber o rigs installed?

Also forgot to say, what hole have you got the camber links on?

Will,

What Toe in block do you run at the rear? - I'm running 2* - but I've just read, on RCShortcourse that a cure is to run the 4* block.

I'll try that when I get home...... but I won't be happy if thats the only solution coz I hate the way it "pushes" thru turns with the 4*

I reverted to inside (inside) and middle at the hub (69mm turnbuckles)

I will check my blocks in a bit but the camber links might be part of the issue, I run mine outside on the shock tower and inside on the hub

I posted this a few months ago. If you have the o-ring fitted in the diff outdrives take it out. It's only there because the gear diff is normally fitted in the RTR version with dog bone driveshafts so the o-ring stops the shaft chattering. As the CVD shaft is firmly fixed at the wheel end the o-ring has no function and just gets in the way by stopping the plunge on the driveshaft thus limiting the suspension from swinging through its operating arc.

I solved that one for you chris

I've never had o-ring in there. But still the problem.
I had the camber link in the shortest position like that, Will, but that was worse.

3 in the rear is what I run
