hi, i cant be the first person to have noticed how the single speed spur fits the standard diff, and it looks as if the whole assembly might fit where the 2 speed is. no, i havent decided where the displaced brake is going to go, unless it can go the other side of the seat with an appropriate hub fitted.

have u seen this done before?

That is a very good observation. No, noone have installed or attempted to install a center differential. To our knowledge. We have had no plans on installing center diff to our current FF vehicles. However, future projects of this vehicle include the idea of pursuing a center diff.

Thanks for your comments.

Status: offline 		it all seems to fit in there, its very close mind you, only a milimeter clearance between spur and tank, flywheel and diff etc, but its in... just gotta swap the remaining parts over from my rally to see if it will work ok.

i cant believe no-one has done this before... its very easily done.

Status: offline 		Photo update... shafts and mt suspension arms will be on soon, they are the rally fronts shown on the pics, as are the shocks.

any thoughts as to whether i should go for 18 buggy front shocks all round, or tmaxx shocks all round.... or go mad and put atx shock towers on with some longer shocks?

its kind of a truggy setup i guess... what shocks do they use, and on long or short towers?

Status: offline 		I reckon it has got to be the buggy shocks, they will probably take punishment better than any other type. I notice that you are laying down the steering servo, I have just taken delivery of the JT Racing chassis and notice that it is drilled for this configuration. What do you use to secure the servo to the chassis?

Status: offline 		yea, i see the logic in buggy shocks, but i dont want it to cost me an arm and a leg... ofna ultra lx shocks are cheap enough, are they any good?

i have been advised to use front buggy shocks all round, would u guys agree?

Status: offline 		I know what you mean about the cost. I looked into getting Mugen shocks for the FF and nearly fainted when I found out the price. I am going to put a second car together and I reckon I will bite the bullet and get them for that one though. Just got to have that quality you know.

Status: offline 		Just the fronts I think. Any fine tuning I will then take care of via oil weights and spring settings. The rear buggy shocks tend to be around 125mm which is a little long for the FF. At the moment I have the aluminium Cen upgrades and they seem to work well but the next set will definitely be 4 front buggy shocks. Just for peace of mind as much as anything else.

Status: offline 		I am using Traxxas Stampede aluminum big bore shocks (Part #2660) all the way around on mine. They go for about 20.00-30.00 dollars a pair and just about every hobby store has them or has parts for them.
I believe that a few people on wildhobbies are using Integy shocks for the T-Maxx all the way around.
I have used 1/8 scale front buggy shocks and the shafts were to short so rears might be better.

Status: offline 		thanks for that rolland - do u have any clearance problems around those shocks - in particular where they pass thru the suspension arm?

hmmm im still a bit confused as to whether 1/8 fronts or rears will be best - cant i "lose" some of the extra length of the 1/8 rears in the "droop" of the suspension?

i might just get 2 complete sets of 1/8 shocks and then sell whatever i dont use.
