Awesome build mate!! Subbed. With the Max 5 system installed, is it necessary to change out the diffs ? if so, to which ones ? or, do you just make sure the stock diffs are well shimmed good n tight? Any advice here much appreciated. Cheers from Western Australia.
Hi , Thank you for checking in on me , my ass is moving to Florida, had my fill of Connecticut ( plus I'm old , and that's where old folks go , plus Jimmy moved down there last year ), will be putting a video out shortly to explain my absence , been packing shit up trying to get ready , Thanks again
@@ucrazy2rc460 oh Happy days Chief👋🏿 😬 Glad to know your doing well man🥳💥hopeful that your move goes like a good gear mesh and you settle into your new home real 👍🏿 good
They got the fireteam for 399$ rn so I purchased 1.. I'm also doing the hobbywing upgrade and metal servo mount.. I will also shim and oil the diffs and shim out all the slop.. I didn't even know about the set screw that removes the shock slop so thank you I definitely learned something
Hell of a job. I did a little work on mine getting some of the slop out but nowhere near the extent you went to. Even if it doesn't drive better it'll be more piece of mind knowing all that shit ain't just rattling around in there. I'll do some of the upgrades too as I break shit. First to go was that servo. Gonna see if they'll warranty it but I bought a better one anyway. A new motor/esc would be nice but my pockets can't take the hit.
@@ucrazy2rc460 Servo made the choice on its own. Esc and motor like you said I plan to run until they shit the bed. The rest I'll upgrade as it breaks if it needs it. If not I'll run it as is. Fun truck for fast off roading. I don't do the big jumps.
@@ucrazy2rc460 What you've heard is true ! There's a grumpy SOB in Michigan that rips his RC around the nieghborhood with a shit eating grin on his face .
Crazy ✊🏿 I just got a fireteam and when I opens the box he was leaking from a front shock so I took him out to inspect only to find he also had rear diff bind😳🤭 sooo I’m thinking it’ll be probably a shim from factory worse case only to find out it’s the whole rear diff housing case for the gear teeth not sure what gives but I’m now using a v4 kraton black case to go with the gears It’s a spy like u said If you can not turn on your Rc’s your gonna be in trouble Because the shop isn’t open again until Monday and then I’d only hear em tell me send it in for another week of waiting for the damn rig I just knew I should have gone with the Sledge
I was told that the slop is for bashing, you need some space for hard hits, not saying your wrong and it's your car can make it how you like it, but the slop kind of makes sense to me for bashing...
