Awesome! Thanks for the tip! I'll have to give it a shot.

No diff is a very odd idea if you ever plan to turn a corner. Maybe ditch the steering servo while you are at it.

i recommend you also replace the shocks with turnbuckles...

There was an RCCA project that did that to an RC10 too.

Id be tempted to try these odd ideas but you lost me at ditching the steering servo. Its all gonna be a wait and see for now. I've got some traxxas turnbuckles That are probably long enough to sub in place of a shock though lol.

This part will be a test part for my DMLS parts.

speaking of which, i need to create a 3d model of it.

If i get a chance this weekend, ill go ahead and CAD up some of my parts to have made.

speaking of which. any odd parts I should try submitting while im at it. I dont know full cost but in general its usually priced per cm^3 so once I know the cost, I'll determine what all I can make within my budget.

I was taking the piss with regard to no steering servo by the way

Let us know how you get on but I cannot see this turning out to be a great success.

I posted a mid setup with short shocks on the rear, turnbuckles and sway bar up front. http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=3305

BTW I would suggest trying a slipper eliminator first. Hurry, they already sold out of diff eliminators
