Here is something I discovered by accident, while replacing my sons front wheel cup the (ball joint) sheared off, somehow the rear dog bones worked their way out while i was working on it, and low and behold the spring that keeps the dog bones from coming out miraculously disappeared. Not knowing what to do, I used the broken off ball head and used that to separate to dog bones and it works. Moral of the story "do not throw away broken off ball heads" lol
Hi! Just a quick question Can you please let us know the distance between the front wheel (axel) and back wheel in milimeter so that we can find different body shells in 1:18 scale...
Well it's tough to measure exactly since I've added, caster, camber and toe but it's roughly a 134mm wheelbase give or take a few millimeters and the width is roughly 98mm give or take.
The motor side has zero room for anything, barely a millimeter of the screw sticking out on that side caused it to bind up. On the other side maybe a quarter of the spring or less could fit but then what's the point, you can only add a millimeter on that side before it binds up so that's why a screw with barely a millimeter sized head ended up fixing it for me.
Nice video, thanks for the info 👍
Thanks, no problem man.

Good to know, yea it's amazing how you can still find use from broken parts which is why I usually don't throw that kind of stuff away.

I wonder if cutting the spring from the plastic diff in half and putting them into each side of the metal diff cups would eliminate the slop?

Would you mind sharing the link for the brass gear and differential set?
They should be the first two links down in the description of the video
