Prospec build

[PiErow]

Sorry i have no pics but however i dod have info and questions. I hav the diffs built, front assemble and am working on the back. Are the rear lower a-arms supposed to be like / instad of l ? Mine are slightly crooked. Also this is my first pro and the build is awsome.

[mikeburgin]

what do you mean, if you are meaning the toe in yes they are sposed to be like that, or else there is no toe in and gets pretty tricky to drive.

[PiErow]

The black line is how I think it should line up. Notice that the A-arms are crooked relative to this line. Do you think this is a problem, or is it normal for the MBX-5?

[jon2]

Nope that is normal. If that is the rear it is normal to have that much toe in. Great for control.

Thanks jon! In fact that is the rear. Time to begin building again...

Yes it looks like too much when you build but thats the way it is.

[mikeburgin]

should have the 2.5 block in the back for a standard setup.
i didnt get the pretty little cvd booties like you have

[PiErow]

If you hop over to carlinas rc the site sells them for 10 smackers. They are nice but i did not have room to put them on in the front. The knuckles were too small.

hey do you have ur center diff in? does the ring gear like stick out of the bottom of the chassi? mine is so far down it hangs out of the chassi as i spin it i see it hit a flat peice of plastic laying on the chassi, is it normal for it to hang that low? what did i do wrong?

[1meathead]

Yes my spur hangs out just a small amount.

[PiErow]

Im working on my center diff right now. I will post a pic of what mine looks like before tommorow!

Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, mi, what a marvolus build it was. It went real smooth barely any problems. Breakin is tomorow. Do you guys want a completion pic?

Ring and pinion gears shouldn't have much play. It won't be real smooth either (EDIT: not when it's new). There are little thin spacers you can use to adjust the mesh between the two. The pinion and ring gears will break in as you drive it. A little tight is better than loose. It sounds to me like you have it just perfect.
