Setup for my Swift buggy

[muswagon]

OK. So, here is what I have so far;

40wt front, 35wt rear shock oil. 1,000wt for rear diff, 7,000wt for center, and 3,000wt for front. My question on that is for Ofna diff fluid, are these the right weights, or is there a conversion? I know weights are in a different measurement. OK, blue kyosho springs, 1.3mm pistons. Am I missing anything?

Check out THIS link... this is everything you need to do.

I used the same diff fluid you did, works out just fine for me. Did you shim them too? I would assume so, but you didn't mention it. Shocks sound all good except I used the Kyosho bladders and also Kyosho shock boots to protect the shafts from dust and debris... longer O-Ring life bassicaly.

Just locktite everything, and I mean everything... go over ALL screws, including the brace screws (I lost the rear brace to chasis screw) and the 1 metal to metal servo tray screw as well. I would also recomend locktiting the philips screws that go through the eyelet on the steering knuckle (wheel side)... even though those nuts have the nylon in them to make them locknuts, they ALWAYS backed out till I locktited them.

My car has the Diffs gone through and shimmed with the fluid mentioned, Kyosho bladders, 1.3mm two hole pistons, diaphrams, Kyosho blue springs, with 40wt up front and 35wt in the rear along with shock boots. Locktited every single metal to metal screw (ESPECIALLY THE MOTOR MOUNTS... they had NO locktite on them), re-set the gear mesh to be tighter when I locktited those, changed both servos out (which enabled me to reduce the tow out to about 1-1.5 degree with the added torque for low speed steering), changed the upper A-Arms to MBX upper arms for improved caster and steering, added a fail-safe, rechargable pack, and that's about it for the big things that I can think of off of the top of my head.
