Stupid screws?

[bigred5765]

what size driver are u using not screw size

[minke]

Get yourself an EDS 2.0mm driver, you will have no problems, even with the standard screws

[Benjab]

Im using 2mm drivers/wrenches.

Minke i have ordered a "high end" 2mm hex driver but its not in stock so it would be a little stupid to buy one more

Omg did you read what i just wrote?

[minke]

I dont know what 'high end' tool you ordered. I just recommend the EDS range. I rounded a few allen keys off trying first time, this one takes the old screws out, even with damaged heads.

[Benjab]

I just saying high end so you know its not a cheap crappy tool. Im gonna buy the hex driver my lhs has. 12 poundsnor something like that...

[Benjab]

I just have a question about the a-arms. I can move the left arm up and down freely but the right can only move up and down a little bit. Know whats wrong?
(cvds and turnbuckles are installed)

[minke]

sounds like the cvd may be hitting the nut from the diff screw, if it is all assembled (correctly assuming) then try taking the diff screw assembly out and put it in from the other side. Instructions are pretty vague in the manual

[Benjab]

Okay thanks! Do i have to take the gearbox apart?

[minke]

If the gearbox is all assembled and in the car, then no, you don't. You can take the whole screw out and re-insert from the other side. Just be careful.

again this is another common problem fella..........make sure you have the diff in the correct way [i made that mistake ] the screwhead should be on right hand side ..should solve it if not ..there is always the washer trick

[Benjab]

The washer trick? But thanks im gonna try it

[Benjab]

I think i did it right thanks

[Benjab]

Oh no no no the plastic thing that holds the nut in the diff is broken dont know if it can be glued ?

you broke the diff nut ...howd you manage that ...

[nicefrog]

I've replaced all the screws on all mine because that's the worst part of the car. But you can build one without stripping them IF you use a torx driver for the entire build right from the start, if not then your sure to ruin at least a couple screws and a few allen keys also. The diff is not the same length on both sides so you have that in back to front

[Benjab]

Wayne i have no idea but i think i could make one myself.

Nicefrog: okay but i think it could be my tools because i also broke the new screws i bought.

Sory but u got another question. When i put oil in the shocks and put the cap on they feel very good and responsive but after a few hours they a alot less responsive. Whats wrong?

are you using the kjit plastic shocks? .......they are not of the best quality putting it politly. ......i replaced my shocks with a set of ally ones ...depends on what your gonna use the car for bashing or racing?
bashing ..then the shocks in the kit will be ok ...but for racing id look at getting better ones when you can

[Benjab]

I thought the only problem was the shock caps? Im only gonna be racing with it. Nothing serious though. Im gonna buy a hudy hexdriver today
