problems w/ front diff. and trans. gear

[jetmechG550]

P2 rockers and I'll have to check my springs. I run socks and can never remember what I'm running. I know shock oil is 40 front and 45 rear and the total length is less than that suggested in the manual. I think suggested is 87 and I'm like 82.

Thanks Jet, What socks and where can I get them? I went to Twin Cities Hobby and Race Track last night and there is a practice night on wed. The truck is all back together and running great. It was my first time at the track and I love it, so cool. I only broke one tie rod end, was going to fast and hit a wall, not so bad. Engine was running at 250- 270 degrees is that a good temp? I went to single steering servo, I put in a Futaba S9451 Digital w/120 in/oz torque. I was just reading a post tonight and they were talking about the airtronics 358 for steering. Should I switch and use the futaba for my throttle/ brake, right now I am using the stock traxxas servo and it is slow. Sorry so long winded, just trying to get ideas. Thanks everyone.

Jet, when u say 82 on the springs is that mm, and where do you measure from and to?

Yeah sorry 'bout that, 82mm, I have Losi shock tool. If your using a caliper go center to center at the two attach points

What do you guys think of the rockers, what should I use, I will be running on a short, tight, dirt track. P1, P2, P3, and what springs.

pretty much everybody i know runs the p2's with gold and orange springs. however, i put on the p3 rockers and rods with the stock (white/green) springs and i've been getting around the track faster. went from an average 36 sec. lap to a 33 sec. lap. now that's just me, and it doesn't mean it'll work for anybody else, but it may be something to consider if the p2's don't feel right to you. honestly, the only reason i tried 'em in the first place was because the LHS didn't have the red pushrods for the p1 and p2's. in my case it was an experiment that worked out ok.
