I thought the 4wd came with shorter rear shock shafts than the Classic.
I’m not sure. I have even broken the seal yet. I am just trying to get all the information I can on the dogbone thing before I start my builds. I have a RC10 T sport that I hope to finish this week then either the 4wd, ReRe RC10T, or the ReRe Team car are going to be built. Probably the 4wd first.

This is why I like the old A&L instructions for dogbone install. Specified clearly are the internal and external shock limiters needed to keep the bones in the zones!
Hope you're doin' something fun.

It does come with the 1.02 shafts, not the 1.32 as the original. So not as long a limiter is needed.

:lol:

Isn't there a Losi/Schumacher-style telescoping driveshaft option to avoid all of this drama?

Raborn made a kit for that. I wonder if the man who bought it has any of those in his stock. I know he has some losi parts.
Consistency is the key I keep misplacing.

That washer fix for the 4wd was perfect. Now I am working on the Team ReRe and there is nothing that can fix this that I can figure out. It needs longer dog bones.

I was able to solve the problem with my Team Gold Re-Release by using 1/4" fuel tubing as a spacer undre the piston on the shock shaft. Cut it about 1/2 inch long, maybe 5/8ths just to be sure and make the cuts very square for full contact. Also make sure you attach the shock to the outermost hole in the rear arm.

I did that as well but there is still barely any dogbone in the outdrives. The cvd definitely needs to be longer. I’m waiting for MIP to restock but AE should have already fixed this by making them longer.
