    7075rc rear shock tower

    I've mounted my 7075rc rear shock tower and it seems like the rear arms are pushed down (increasing rear ride height) as opposed to the front. Is anyone else's like this or is this right?

    Drive cups breaking

    I have a chimera that has broken 2 drive cups. Part # 07145 Anybody with the same problem? I think the problem is that the rear suspension up travel is too long that the dogbone´s angle is such that it makes a lot of pressure on the drive cup edges and breaks them.

    Upper shock pivot ball stud

    Did everyone's Chimera come with the upper shock pivot balls on the rear? This is RedCat part 07153. I got mine as a roller and am thinking that they maybe fell out when they took the cage off to take the motor out.

    Comparison of the Chimera to the Xb

    Anyone have both or see both running together? I was thinking about the Xb since its a little smaller and Lighter but same engine. Is it as durable when it comes to axles, gears and diff cups?

    Diff Box Grease???

    I had to change a Front Diff Joint Cup. Turns out you gotta completely take the inner Diff Box (inside front diff housing) apart to change the joint cup. This is not the Ring and Pinion gears, its inside the Ring gear housing. I lost some grease during all this, and the grease was pretty...

    Parts question

    Looking At ALL The Websites For Parts I Was Wondering What Parts Were INTERCHANGEABLE Between Platforms. I have the chimera so what parts are the same between the chimera and xb or TT and so on?
