i have run into more problems with these 1/8th scale hybrid bulks!
had some time tonight to work on my truck and my steering bellcrank now hits my rpm a-arm and hinge pin and will not clear it at all. also the 4 holes in the bulks where the skid plate bolts to do not line up with the 4 holes in the skid plate.
after running into these new issues i did some quick measuring and i beleive i have discovered the source of all of my issues with these 1/8th scale hybrid bulks. first took some measurments on the chassis and everything matches the chassis i have from east end machining on my other maxx. then took some measurements on the flm bulks and discovered that the distance from the center of the arms or the cvds to the furthest hole on the bulk where the chassis is bolted to is 2-3mm shorter than stock. this is probably exactly how much too long my front driveshaft was, how much space i need for my steering bellcrank to clear the arms, and how far off the skid plate holes are.
i know this flm stuff is quality stuff and real nice looking but i am real disapointed in these hybrid bulks now. one other complaint i have with the hybrid bulks is that i can wiggle the pinion shaft and watch the bearing move side to side in the bulks. the bearing is good and the inner race does not move side to side within the outer race. this is with the diff installed and shimmed properly as well. so i will be contacting flm tomorrow sometime and hopefully get all of this sorted out. i will also try and get pics up tomorrow to better show these issues.
The eem chassis has the stock diffs and bulks but I took some measurements on the front half of the eem chassis and they matched the front of the flm chassis
I didn't even know lst diffs were an option. What bulks and diff cases will you be using?
