After changing the diff oil I put my car back together. Took it for a drive and found the front wishbone (from the centre diff to the front diff) had popped out. It didn't sound very good! :no: What would I have/have not done to caused this? The photo shows it just about to come out. Under power it pops out. I thought I would ask before I have to strip it down again.

I dont have a nutech yet so don't flame me, but by chance could you have the front and rear bones mixed up?

I wouldn't flame ya! But you should get yourself a Nutech. You wouldn't be disappointed.
The front and rear dogbones (I can't believe I called them wishbones:going insane:) are very different in length. Also, I kept them apart through out the the strip down.
Thanks anyway.

That center drive shafts seems really short?
If you check Moo's thread he used the neg side of a AA battery pack holder like you get from a 1/10-1/8 nitro RTR car little spring things in the front drive shafts! they would work better as would keep the shaft more central.

Thanks All. I'll look for the o-rings or find a spring.

You could also use some sponge earplugs in the cups.

+1, here's a pic of mine with the driveshaft pushed all the way back, and no o-rings or springs.
Is your driveshaft bent ? a heavy front ender could do it.
