4 wheel shaft drive diff problem

[Wetman]

Well the problem is more with the moron who fitted the diffs  

Got my TT02 chassis up to rolling level tonight and did a quick rig up to test everything ran only to discover when motor put into drive the rear wheels go forwards and the fronts go in reverse and the opposite when the motors in reverse. Without stripping it back down to look is it likely I've put the front diff in backwards? 

You are perfectly free to laugh if wish

Yeh just take the diff out and turn it around.  Dont worry i did the same thing haha

An easy mistake to make. Some chassis have tabs moulded into the gearbox casing to prevent this, but they don't feature on the TT-02, so the diffs fit perfectly either way.

Got it sorted out. It was the rear I'd put in the wrong way round. Built the rest up and run it a few times up and down the drive. Not a bad chassis but a couple of questions, does the hop up ally servo horn center up better than the stock plastic ones? And what's the best way to run the leads round the chassis to tidy them up? I've the servo and esc leads stuffed under the on off switch at the moment but no clue what to do with the battery and motor cables.

Oh and the Cc tyres aren't staying, just the first ones I grabbed for now although a Bowler basher may be an idea

The hop up alloy servo horn is designed to work with the hop-up high torque servo saver, which does indeed centre more reliably than the stock item. However it does so whether used with the alloy horn or the hard plastic one that it comes with. The alloy one looks prettier but is functionally no different in my experience.

I find it neatest to shorten the motor cables and omit the connectors, soldering them straight to the motor. The ESC and servo wires can be neatly bundled and hidden in broad heatshrink. The battery cable can be kept from flapping about with double sided Velcro.

Thanking you. The Battery one in the main concern cos it looks like it has the potential to rub as it crosses the driveshaft
