quote:Originally posted by DerAlexAnybody got a diff to sell or has an idea whrer I can buy a new dif. I think in the past I have seen ads for better diffs in an american magazine [?] It is a shame that I can't drive this car just because of a small diff. I am also thinking about buying a Stampede Truck because I can't get my Toyota running again. I neeeeeeed a truck [8)] id="quote">id="quote">To Make A purely Runner i would suggest www.factoryworks.com They Used to be known as A&L Manufaturing, they still make a belt drive tranny for the king cab/toyota monster racer. It's kinda pricey, around 100-US dollars. I have one and love it, no diff or gear problems what so ever!

I May Buy one Next week (if the shop has any left) This week i decided to restore a grasshopper2 []

LOL! I was actually deciding what to get! Out of the Mad Fighter, Super Hornet, but then i found a great deal on the Vortex and was considering[] I Really should stay faithful to Tamiya

I Am considering to buy a MRC Vortex off-road buggy, anyone ever seen one? or have one? i would like to see pics without the body if any one can help.

The Motor size really depends on you, Longer run times? or Go faster? however faster is not always better due to heat. My guess is thats what someone was thinking when they told you the 19turn, motor 19tooth, pinion bit. Seeing that chassis is popular with the onroad crowd i'd say you could run a pretty hot motor with no problems. As for the Ball diff I'm pretty positive it'll only improve handleing, unless the diff is a different size, but then your changing counter gears and everything. []

The King Cab Can be a great runner, however, I've had my share of problems from the Tranny. The diff does seem to loosen up no matter how tight I made it. Some have had less problems from it, but i couldn't keep it running. I replaced the Tranny With a Leathal Weapon 2 tranny, not much on the Vintage but it still runs [] I Originally Ran the Cab on Pavment only, to get the right adjusments I put Losi Shock on with very heavy oil. I'm Actually Thinking about Putting Current Losi Shocks on (Threaded shock bodys) But I dunno, it may be ready to be a shelf Queen. []

I agree With Wriggle, I Find The How much? E-mails flattering, I myself wouldn't do it but makes my happy to know someone likes my work. Just my opinion. []

Seems like a list of services might be in order, because as it stands now, this hobby is expensive enough. In addition to that, quite a few members will not ship anywhere but to the UK. I am questioning whether it is worth the funds to be a charter member of a rather exclusive English good old boy club.[!] I will have to think this one over after the bugs are worked out, Bradd id="quote">id="quote">Maybe not my Place, however as a US member I feel a Need. I can understand when switched the sight there will be a few bugs, It's not a big deal as I have confidence the sight will return to normal, (or better shortly.) For me It's not really the trades, or sales, but more the very usefull and plentiful knowledge base, from the users in the forums, to the manuals that contain the parts trees that are invaluable even the user pics that show what the next restore Job from ebay should look like. In My Opinion, the 24us/year is very cheap for everything you get. As for the "English good old boy" comment, I've spoken too many different people from US, Canada, UK, and Italy. If I'd ship anything to them would depend on weight, only due to cost and i'm sure they would say the same thing. Tim

I'm not Able to Look at manuals, (Well the only one i've tried to look at, striker.) I Should have tried to look at others first..

Lol... This Was Actually My Wifes idea, and her Barbie's (One of her hobbies) The Original Theme Was going to be Girls Gone Wild, But at the time of post i was drinking beer and that seemed funny. Much thanks to all who view and liked... Tim[]
