Did you install the ball bearing diff? do you have a part number or compatible model? thanksipenalosa wrote: ↑Tue Mar 24, 2015 4:16 pmHello , i am restoring a Raider, and i have some questions....ron wrote:Yeah thats the way to pop them out. I usually hit it with the side of a pliers. If you liver in between the the aluminum hex and wheel shaft mounting, you will be scratching and damaging the hex.
I have a turbo raider myself, not driven it though, have customized it with metal linkages, carbon fiber shock towers etc, got a brand new gold w-5061 drive shafts for $33 new off ebay too. Hey one question to all you guys there, are those gold shocks the turbo raider comes with, kyosho's or are they duratrax???? I have opened mine up and it has does not have 2 O-rings like the kyosho pressure gold shocks. mine had leaked, but I packed in a thin washer (0.4mm thickness) before the retainer clip to squeeze in the O-ring to better provide sealing.
You said that you install a w-5061 drive shafts, i have search in eBay, and i found it, but the length of this shafts is 92mm and the original is more or less 98, it was not a problem? after do that do you need to install another wheels? or another part?

i have in mind install a ball bearing differential, and put some strong cardan to more strong the transmission, because i remember that the original shaft and the differential was damaged some times.....
Thanks!
