I like the idea of a setup/tips thread. I'm contemplating getting back into the hobby and am looking at the 2011 version of the XB808.
This will be my second nitro car, but first AWD and after reading the above the only thing I'm worried about during the build thread are the diffs.
ORIGINAL: Zerodefect
Active diffs are a nightmare to build and maintain.
When you build them, if they lock up real bad, thats because the side gear and the bevel ring are binding up and not installed down all the way. The guts are stuck apart and too thick, and the diff locks up as the screws are tightened.
That's a bit concerning to read to someone that's thinking about picking an 808 up.
What are the maintainance issues with the diffs?
