Too loose and it will be a one wheeler peeler. Too tight and, well, you already know about that.

If its too loose it will make a terrible noise when you gas it.

My DT-02 MS should be here this week. Managed to find one out of the two sets that are available directly from the store here at the Arctic Circle..

Going to run it with the Nosram Dragon Brushless Sports Modified 9.5T or Team Checkpoint 12T Double Competition Off-Road Motor with the Evil Brushless Reverse ESC.

I´m already ordering from three different stores and still can´t find everything from one place. I got the Pro-Line Fronts and the Tamiya high density rear spike tires and I´m now trying to find astral wheels for them, namely Tamiya #51205 and #51206. Also the turnbuckle (#53828) and stabilizer set (#53829) would be nice.

It seems that eTamiya should have them all.. sigh, poor credit card.

this is what is happening to my desert gator right now! but it doesnt sport a ball differential but a geared one that cant be adjusted so Im out of ideas

any suggestions?

trying to fix this I got a Futaba 3010 just to find the servo arms hit the top servo cover. If I didnt get it wrong this is just the servo TEX uses

thanks for your comments
