So i said in a rescent post i have alot of play in the hub and carrier area.I have been lookin at the tekno set, but i was also lookin at the rpm stuff with the tru trac rear suspension set.What do you all think between the two and the tru trac kit?
 
The tru-trac is nice, but the rpm carriers are known for pillow ball popping. I've had one do it on my maxx after some hard running.

Nevermind i understand, says they have 40% more material to prevent that from happening?
 
Personally, I would go with the RPM parts. I have had almost no problems with them and the one bumper that failed was replaced in warranty.
 
so i ordered the tru trac kit and the front set up also,I'm siked havent bought much for it lately. Now just can't wait for some warmer weather to test it all out.
 
Hey guys i installed my tru trac kit,do i need longer stub axles?Not long enough for the hubs?
 
Huh well maybe the bearings arent seated on there all the way cause the hub will not go on far enough to line up the hole for the set screw pin.
 
The metal stub shaft is pinned to your plastic driveshaft. Maybe the pin is sticking out and preventing you from getting the inside bearing on all the way.

The 4910 wheel axles will not work with the True track intended for the 3.3 spec axles.;)

Got it,just had to get the bearing in a lil farther. Theres not really anyway to tell but it sure looks as though its toed in like crazy. Could be just an illuzion i guess.
