thinking about possibly replacing my mr4 tc for a SD, but ive heard they arent very strong wen crashed? what are your opinions

[ninjagordy]

i have heard different views......mines is great and i have had no problems as yet........been running it for a couple of months now and the cars still fantastic apart from the rear diff could be doing with a rebuild.......

the rear diff could be doing with a rebuild.......

well when you built the diff did you put all the ballbearings around the screw on the washer

if you did then you are meant to laeve 1 or 2 out as they expand and with them all in they cannot expand i had that problem with my front diff on the weekend

[ninjagordy]

nice one scott......and yes...i did........although...the front is still perfect and its built the exact same way.......

Not Bust anything on mine yet! The diffs are still silky smooth, but didn't use the Kit c**p diff lube, used some HML stuff! Fantastic!

that happened with mine the back was great but yet the front had almost seemed to have locked up and had tried rebuilding it but still had the problem had to ask adam rogers for help in the end as it was really affecting the handleing of the car

I can't understand people complaining that the Sd is any less durable than any other car.

I have had my two SDs since they first came to Europe - both from the first batch. I ran the last 5 rounds of our stock championship with one of them, and have run the other with 10 turn mod motors. My KO tranny tells me I clock up about 2 hours a week, so they do get some running.

To date I have broken 1 front tower - and the brick wall I drove straight at! 1 front hub - from overtightening the king pins, and 1 wishbone 2 weeks ago at Snetterton - again the result of a big off.

I've had most other cars, and can say the SD is no less durable, in fact probably stronger than most.

i agree john........

i had my first breakage on sunday at the smtca final round and that was due to a big off.........(rear wishbone).....2 mins to replace!!!!!!

apart from that its great........took 3rd in the a final at our indoors meeting last night....im normally a b final runner but have found myself in the a final alot more since getting my sd..........

i would recomend it to anyone!!!!!!

Pray tell Gordon how you managed to break something at Banerty or was it you who launched of the ramp. LOL
There is nothing to hit apart from the wall and to do that you have to be waayy off line.
