So after the running last weekend to test out the Dual steering servos on my Nutech TB2, I decided to do a few more things to it.....



I got ahold of Scott at Vancouver Hobbies and ordered up a couple of the aluminmum diff cases, a set of Vertigo Performance sealed bearings, and a HPI wheel adapter set.



Here's a few pics of the teardown so far...

So the parts came, yesterday Thanks Scott!!
After work I managed to get the rear area all done.
All I need to do is finish the front now and I'm all set.
I still have a locker for the center diff on it's way from Freeprawn, as soon as it gets here, I'll have to put it in also. :boxing:

That was one of my first upgrades. Much better than the stock design.

Your Kidding!! Your locker hasn't arrived yet??

It should be with you by now.

I'll have to look into that!!

If you PM me your address again (just incase I noted it down wrong) I'll post another out.

So I finished putting the parts in I got from Vancouver Hobbies, Diff carriers, bearings and extenders. It rolls so much nicer now, I think the bearings were in dire need of some love. LOL
Here is a few more pics.
Also I received my diff locker from Freeprawn racing. It looks great and seems well made. I'll have to pull out my center diff and put that puppy in there...more pics to follow. ;)

By bearings, do you mean wheel bearings?

Looks good Mike..let us know if the new CNC diff housing up front makes it even more nose heavy.

Cheers.

No, I meant all of the bearings. Vertigo Performance has a complete kit available. It has all sealed ABEC 5 rated bearings in it.
I'll let you know how i like it as soon as I get some free time. ;)
