ok i ripped the whole rear end apart to see what makes her tick. the diff is pretty brilliant i must say. anyhow after i put it all together i think i deducted that the root of the problem was the angle the motor was mounted. i got it in right for now but i should probably wedge a shim in there to make it easier in the future.

my magic hands still work and this shit is smooth as butter.

Hmmm, I'm having trouble imagining how you would need a shim.

I'm assuming you know you can adjust the gear mesh by loosening the motor screws and sliding the motor back and forth, and ya know if you slip a piece of paper between the gears when you tighten the motor screws that should get you nearly perfect gear mesh (you might have to fold the paper). My spurs are ever so slightly out of round, so I got to set the gear mesh kinda loose. If the motor was crooked along another axis I would have deduce the motor plate is bent, and that's flimsy enough I should be able to bend it back in shape.

So anyways, not sure if I'm clear on what you're saying, but I thought that might help.

Hey, anyone mind if we move this into the Micro-T forum? Seems like there's some good info in this that other peeps might want to see.

Go for it...

ya it was definatly the angle the motor was at. all i meant by a shim was a piece of paper

ive driven it pretty hard a few times outside and its held up like a mutherfucking champ. on a slightly wet parking lot i was doing controlled drift turns. the biggest plus is how it just rolls right over cracks that would destroy an xmod.

I'm glad you got that all worked out. I was afraid you got a defect and it was gonna piss you off. I don't trust this MIC crap, but when you get a good one, it's good.

ok about 2 days after i bought the thing i realized that it came with two other pinion gears

i was running on gravel and spitting rocks alover the place. im also amazed by what this thing can roll over. will xmod springs fit these shocks? need something stiffer.

ive taken this thing out maybe a half a dozen times now and havnt really broken anything.

I believe the truck one fit, the car ones are too short.

Then you haven't run it hard enough.

I'm going to check my local Rat Shack for them. I thought I had some around here but can't find them.

Unless you are going to send them in a package headed my way.

I'm suprised you haven't tried to make a buck off of them

JK

but seriously, it would be good of you to buy them, and resale them for what you pay for them + shipping for those in need of them.
Just saying that's the kind of stuff that goes on when you are in a hobby like this. You help out the fellow hobbyists, and create a trustworthy-ness of a true pimp.
