Boooba’s 30 degree north truck!!

[Crazybajabuild]

No problem. I love helping. Every one knows I screw up lots.

It’s more fun to work together.

I love how this thing goes together everything is out in the open and basically nothing to it as far as parts go. It’s all big parts which is what I like. My old hands do t work like they used to

 

[Crazybajabuild]

She’s almost ready for her first fire!!
Can anyone tell me which fuel line goes where? Does the fuel line with the filter go on the bottom or the top of the carb?
The next thing I want to do is get the aluminum center diff housing and aluminum diff cups, upgrade as I break from there!!

 

[Rep732]

Get this for the center diff tower.

For bashing I recommend the vertigo monster locker for the center diff. Gives you a 50/50 full time awd.

I definitely plan on getting that next! Il have to look at the lockers. Do you suggest better driveshafts if I go big bore? Can you also recommend other upgrades that I may need if I go with a 50-55cc

 

[Rep732]

That center diff tower will hold a big bore and unfortunately my knowledge has ended with giving you advise beyond a 34cc. The big bore guys will lead you to the right parts.

Filter goes to the bottom of carb.

Stock Drive shafts are good. I ran my stock shafts with a 55 and haven’t broken one.

don't know about yours but have a look at your rear center driveshaft, mine was slightly bent and i can see where ist been touching the fan cover a tiny bit. hasnt bothered me but thats only on a 29 with a 19t pinion.

I will definitely look at that

Little diff check.. it was leaking from factory so I wanted to dig in . was almost empty and very thin, what’s everyone’s opinion on earplugs in the center diff? I’ve used it for my 1/8 and 1/10 scales and loved how it acted as a locker but still had a little give. It’s Al I had and figured it was better than nothing lol.

 

[Rep732]

I've found that the ear plugs don't last, I used 20mil from traxxas, or you can just buy the vertigo monster locker and call it a day. Just wait for it to go on deal of the day on ddm.

Will a diff locker make it harder on the rest of the drive train?

 

[Rep732]

Yes and no. Its nothing noticeable that I've yet to see with a 34cc. Also the design of the center driveline wears on its own due to the design

 

[Rep732]

It never pans out this way but it just so happens coincidence is on this threads side and ddm has the locker on deal of the day for 21 bucks. https://www.ddmracing.com/vertigo-100608-monster-locker-diff-spool-for-losi-5ive

Thanks man I actually Purchased one this morning as well as a few other things.. I can’t wait to see this thing done.. I haven’t even put fuel in it yet but im Loving the build so far!! It’s just something to do after work keeps me busy.

What would recommend for the front and rear diff fluids!?

 

[Rep732]

I did 100k front. And I did a locker in the rear. What's your driving style? For someone not interested in kicking the rear end out all of the time 500k to 1mil and its a sprektrum 500k gives you a bit and 1 mil more frequent but not lock up. If you want it all of the time and just bash and don't care about spinning out then 20mil if you want to keep the stock diff or go full locker. Also team chase offers a torque dampening locking insert that utilizes the stock diff, you can find that on ddm.

Do I have to get the Same diff locker for the rear as I did for the center? Man your a lot of help I do appreciate it this is my first ever 4x4 so It’s a learning curve for me

 

[Rep732]

No the center uses a different style due the spur gear.

Here's the locker
