Man I can’t tell you how valuable your channel has been to me. I’m getting ready to build the associated truggy RC8T4 nitro with the Adam drake AD3 engine. I also want to build the rc8t4e as well. Thanks for all your videos. And yes I am a subscriber.
Just built mine up and noticed the front diff clicking when braking hard. Seems to be a lot of play forward and back on the diff in the casing as if the bearings are too small for the diff case. This is causing the diff to slip on the drive gear. Shims are fine as there’s no side to side movement. Its a bit disappointing, Is this normal or have a I got a faulty car?
I think its a flex thing, mine does it too. No matter how tight I shim. I just got a set of the stiff carbon gearboxes in to try. Hopefully they flex less and the teeth don’t skip.
Depends on if you are using in the b4 or b3.2. If you are using with the b4 that comes with flanged bearings you will need the non flanged bearings for these hubs. If you are putting on a 3.2 the stock non flanged bearings will fit these.
@@SuperFastRc Thanks for your quick response. It’s going on the RC8T4E truggy like you have above. Apologies if I’ve misunderstood you. So do I just need 4 8x16x5mm non-flanged bearings?
@@WM84629 actually unless you already have the FT hubs i would get these Dhawk Racing RC8B4 Aluminum Rear Hubs Blue for Team Associated RC8B4 B4e T4 T4e 81545 a.co/d/cfueEH7

Thanks for the comment! Hope to do some more vids and a review on the truck soon. Getting race footage tomorrow!
can you get replacement bearing bushings and spare of the hinge pin locaters? looks like they made them plastic to be replaceable

@@SuperFastRc oh nice do you have a link to this part?
@@WM84629 Yes the front : 81652 Rear : 81653
So can you re-use the stock bearings in the original hubs or do you have to get different ones? Thanks

@@WM84629 correct
@@SuperFastRc they’re unavailable in the UK, are they better?
Im wondering to myself would this replacement work for the buggy with the same efficiency as the t4e?
Yes they are the same part if you can find them.
What's the weight difference between the kit and the alloy hubs
Thats a good question. I will check when j rebuild my bearings. I can imagine it would be more than plastic
@@SuperFastRc thank you sir
What track do you run at?
Oatesified and Barnestown in San Antonio and Thornhill in Austin
@@SuperFastRc all the tracks are so far from me dang it
@@colestaples2010 If you ever find yourself in the area hmu always cool to race with subscribers!
