Rear suspension arm

Image
I drilled hinge pin hole with 4.2mm tap. Peast grease drive pin after that though dust boots. Treat softly neither boots are broken. Carbon shock mount is operated with CA.   Bulkhead plastic material is so hard that paste screw grease. Especially wing mount long screw needs that.      

Center diff mount

Image
Can you watch return spring? The spring is more large radiant on both out side. It's for not moving spring positions. And three are two tubes for wrapping screw. For that no need measure among break pads. Break pad has thickness. Center diff mount is mono plate. Not separate type like a DNX8. It's difficult to maintain around center diff. Center diff plastic material is not so hard. Previous cobra needed tapping. You should not tighten under four screws. After mounting top plate. Checking diff move smoothly,tighten the screw.  

Diff

Image
 I made diff case horizontal with sand paper on glass board like a iPad. Grease up drive cups at groove. And grease up o ring with o ring grease. The diff case has eight reserve tank. Put urethane bar to the hole. More oil can be reserve than another diff.

SRX8 arrived at Japan. There is no manual by paper. Only online PDF! Chassis is old type. But suspension arm is new type. It beefed up on chub sprit. Old suspension arm has shock pin stopper on front side.

First batch

I Almost brands make error parts on first batch. Serpent offers free replacement program. It includes suspension arms and shock pins. Plastic material has changed now. Which material suspension arms does my kit include? Another's chassis is updated now. Center diff under guard is breaked with hitting stone. Old chassis has a hole under center diff. But now is nothing hole.
