Thanks Jeff

It's on No. 3 at the moment so I'll move it out to No. 2

There are short ball-cups on the front shocks (the normal ones give too much travel) but I could undo them a couple mm.

I discovered a slight problem with the new outdrives - they interfere with the inside of the front uprights when the crashback goes back. I might dremel a little off and see. Otherwise great upgrade - the diff screw will never come loose and the thrust race and disc springs are completely sealed. ht...

Broke the rear shock mount too



4mm should be harder to break (thank you Fibre-Lyte)

There's a good amount of rear droop... I'll try to get a video clip up so you can see. Thanks for your input. I've still got a lot to learn about getting the suspension right. It seems counterintuitive... I thought softer oil would allow the wheels to move quicker over the bumps :roll: so your advic...

Thanks. I've just ordered these from Schumacher.

U1133 Rear Wishbone - Big 6 (pr)

According to the Bosscat manual they fit.

Cheers Jeff, I thought it was just the ruts in the astro and bumps in the concrete that were making the back end hop about. The rear springs are Losi Pink 2.3 lb/in (similar to AE grey) but I've got some rear Losi red springs 2.5 I could try. Is it generally best to change springs and oil together? ...

Thanks. Jay, will that make is hop up less at the back?

Broke the rear wishbone practising. Does anyone have U1128 in new or mint condition? PayPal or trade. Thanks

Front - TRF drilled 2 x 1.1mm hole pistons, 40wt oil, AE blue springs
Rear - TRF 2 x 1.3mm hole pistons, 30 wt oil, Losi pink springs

These diff outdrives are ace - deep enough for the thrust bearing and 4 large disc springs so the dust cap can fit. The other side is basically one long plastic lock nut - very secure. No problem fitting them to the Procat. Thanks to Eduardo in Spain for the part number :D http://i103.photobucket.co...

I used some M3 hexagon head bolts to mount the new Yokomo wheels.

I cut the thread down to about 22mm

It's amazing what a dremel and some brasso (metal polish) can do for some old Schumacher balljoints... http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m134/kaszal/IMG_0800.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m134/kaszal/IMG_0798.jpg However I didn't get a photo of what happened to my study when the wadding sn...

Will these do? Still move freely and the thread is OK...
