Default RE: .28 in a funfactor? oh dear....

digout - surprised to hear u stuck with the standard ratios, must be very lively off the line! i have been running the genesis spurs - 43/39 with either a 14 or 15t pinion, single speed only ie 1st gear. unfortunately the resistance/weight of the tmaxx wheels means my .28 eats the plastic spurs too easily. alloy pinions die quick on those spurs too. how are u getting on with the plastic spurs?

is the 2nd gear pin a real problem for breakages? i havent tried 2nd yet with the .28, but that point did concern me, as i was planning on using some steel 11/14 ofna pinions for the time being, see how they go.

as for the cv shafts, did u see what i did with mine? seem to be holding up reasonably well with the .28, but are showing some signs of wear now.

If things start breaking, I plan on going back to the .15 rear exhaust big block or OS 18 CVRX set-up for cvas/axle longevity.
aye, same here, but only the 18 is available to me. ah well - it will have to do! oh - and how does the .15 rear exhaust compare to the .18?

still cant believe how clean and tidy ur truck is, mine has had a hammering!

scouser: maybe worth asking cen about stockpiled discontinued parts..?
