Raman36 1656 Posted December 4, 2015 Where are you planning to run it? If it's on Sand and Dirt you will not need the diff. There was a memebers on here who also made a diff RA1028 I think. I have his version, it's more similar to the old thorp diff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TamTom 367 Posted December 11, 2015 Erm, if it was not for the EU you would have to pay import tax etc on items. Paying import tax etc. is still a better option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TWINSET 1793 Posted December 12, 2015 no other EU seller seems to be quoting this when refusing to ship to UK so we're wondering if Modellbau are using this as an excuse not to ship to UK.. They will still ship loads here; bodies, spares and any kit without motors or ESC. What they won't ship is anything with electronics in, even if they're only LEDs Paying import tax etc. is still a better option. Not when the carrier imposes a miminum £8 clearing fee on it too! I bought £28 worth of stuff from GMade recently and paid £4 summat in tax and £8 for the clearing fee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TamTom 367 Posted December 16, 2015 Got a question on the Fighting Buggy. Does it come with a ball diff, or spool gear, just like the vintage Super Champ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raman36 1656 Posted December 16, 2015 I'm spreading the word since it's working so well for me. When building the front shocks, swap out the red o-ring for the clear TRF o-rings. It will stop the leak and make for a consistent dampening action. I also used the clear o-ring on my Bruiser / Hornet style dampers. They outcome was fantastic. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Plopes 138 Posted December 17, 2015 I only use the TRF clear or blue competition o-rings. Much better than the supplied red ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TamTom 367 Posted December 22, 2015 Are these Tamiya ball diffs for the SRB's still available? Do you run your Fighting Buggy with stock spool gear or do you use ball diffs? I remember when I used to run my vintage Super Champ with the spool gear, cornering was some sort of gambling. Will it spin or not... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raman36 1656 Posted December 22, 2015 They are discontinued.. So what ever you find is all that's left. You are correct the spool can be a handful, especially when the rear suspension is firm.! I run one of my SRB with the RCChannel suspension and fairly soft suspension in the back. When I test drove it on high grip concrete it cornered extremely well. My other one has the torsion bar and when I drove it on same surface, it would almost roll over. Both were running spools. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
