Got my diff balls today! Not bad, got an email back from AE on Monday and received it cross country today....Now back to the build.

Looks great! I'm building mine now but didn't get too far. Waiting for AE to send me replacement diff balls as one had a flat spot. I was hoping the top shaft issues were solved but I guess it's a guessing game. Are these the RPM cups? http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXRB06&...

You're buying piece of mind!!!

Thanks for the info. I'll be patient and wait for replacement.

Thank you. I just sent AE an email w/ my receipt and this picture. http://i.imgur.com/qfTqre3.jpg I'm not sure if you can zoom to 100% but AE can because they will have the JPG and at that size, you can clearly see the deformation. I think you can see it even w/ this picture. Hope to get a replaceme...

Definitely don't use it. Any very slight imperfections will cause it to feel gritty and likely slip. If your in a hurry, I'd buy a set of balls off eBay. 3/32 is a very common size but I'd recommend using all from the same source. Don't mix and match. I don't even mix between different bags of the ...

Q for all: One of the diff balls (6581) is deformed. I has somewhat of a flattened end. At first I had trouble placing it inside the diff gear as it was falling right through. Then I discovered the problem. I ended up being able to make it stay in the gear at just the right angle....I think I know t...

Really glad AE included a few extra 6299 E-clips...I broke one and crossed my fingers that there were extras... I miss the paper roll e-clips Looking good so far. Thanks! Question for all.. Set screw 6951..Is that only meant to lock 6223 in place? This is step 2 on page 6 in manual. I am a bit unsu...

Happy New Year to you too. Thanks for your help with my questions. HW Direct was a good experience. Processing and shipping was pretty fast even though it came from the west coast. I'll do it again. I hadn't noticed (just opened it to take a quick peak) plug n play banana connectors but I am super h...

Finally some progress!

Their new cars are metric, but the older cars and the rerelease are proper :mrgreen: Well....My home depot allen key set did not have the .050" needed for the set screw for the suspension build... Voila! http://i.imgur.com/lVeAwJ9.jpg Sexy.. hope I use it for more than 1 car! Then got distract...

eeek! I knew I wasn't hallucinating...Knowing that, I may just use my home depot allens to get through this build instead of buying a set of the fancy stuff...

Thanks for the clarification!

Went w/ 17.5. Thanks for the heads up. I'm so behind on the build, not even past the first page..Just been so busy w/ life/work. Will hope on it this weekend and hope to make some progress. Realized last night that AE uses imperial hex's. I only have metric. Thought I read that AE uses metric but gu...

don't overthink the wire connections. Just use whatever is easiest to get the esc, motor, battery connected while leaving your charging ability intact and easy. it's all personal preference and you won't notice a performance difference. be more concerned with doing a good job soldering any connecto...
