Made a start with getting the motor in??
Since I don't have a decent set of rears for the twin ? i decided to use the diff and drives ,while I wait for the next order to come in ??

So one of the things I've noticed is most don't seem to load a ton of grease into the diffs/ trans areas. I've also been wondering if we start taking the inner seal out of the bearings if they will last any longer. doesn't make sense to choke off lube to something that desperately needs it, amd most failed bearings can be traced back to a lubricant related failure. To this end, on the 5ive I tried it with the inner pinion bearing, popped both seals out and backed the diff housing as full of grease as I could. I also had thoughts about doing the same to the dbxl, but sold it before it needed serviced again.

Thats a good thought? i landed up after the diff pic pulling it apart and starting over ?
(was not entirely happy....slight binding when it was a all done up?) put a butt ton of grease in the housing after?. Diff got rcmax high tensile drive pins and 500k oil

Right so the moding begins ? the mounting holes in the chassis are not lining up? the coil (new Japanese coil come with the V2 crankcase) is hitting the chassis ? so motor sit in a tad off
Dose look awsome in place though ??
