The thrust balls were 1/16" (from memory) in the thrust races at that time. In theory, the "current" thrust race (I think it's U730!!) is the same part number, but I think it has subtly changed over the years, so it's possible a current replacement won't fit properly.

Viscous drive, a copy of the losi hydra drive. These worked really well on dust tracks, made the car feel like it was on rails but on high grip wasnt any good. Type in schumacher viscous on google search, got to images and youll find the instructions or patent instructions.

thanks welshy

i had one on a cat 2000 onver 20 years ago(or it seems like it) but age hs dulled the memory of how it should be assembled correctly

it wont see much serious action in the fireblade I might let my lad blast it round indoors at worksop on a practice run or something

thanks for everyones efforts to assist

even Matts technical set up advice:D:D
(only joking Matt)

kind regards to all fellas
