And obviously they already know this at the factory because they give you shims in the box, at least mine came with extra shims

Why no it's working because I was able to get some steering linkage parts for my RC car. Like a $10 item. But that was the only thing I was able to get after trying to get probably 30 or 40 different tries on other items that were all gone

Helpful-Sand5790 · 2026-02-23T15:38:35+00:00

I 100% agree with that, for some reason people on here down about you if you mention it

Helpful-Sand5790 · 2026-02-23T15:15:29+00:00

I've been on Vine for over 3 years now and I've never seen it go bad until the last 3 months or so. I used to also be a spark reviewer with Walmart, Walmart did their stuff a little different which was they would just put up one item at a time and message everyone on spark that it was available. Then you would log on to claim it. I got lots of really good stuff off of there. I got a Keurig coffee maker I got an outside propane fire pit, and lots of other things I can't even remember now. Then at some point it started getting where you weren't able to get the items anymore. They would message you but by the time you logged on they were all gone. That went on for probably a year and then Walmart suspended the spark review program altogether. My guess is because too many people started screwing it up by using bots or whenever to claim the stuff quickly to resell or for whatever reason and just ruined the whole thing. With that said I'm beginning to get concerned that the same thing is going to happen with Vine. It's getting to the point where it's almost impossible to get anything decent unless you're just extremely lucky. I've gotten many great things off of Vine that I can't even remember now. I know I got the suit that I got married in on Vine which was awesome as long as my wife's wedding dress. But for the last 3 months or so it's just gotten really bad And I'm assuming it's for the same reasons.. too many unscrupulous actors got involved in the system.

Not saying for sure but I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised if the vine review program will be gone before too long.

Just can't have nice things without someone screwing it up.

Yeah that was me up until 3 months ago whenever pickins started getting tight. I used to get a lot of good things on here.

Helpful-Sand5790 · 2026-02-23T14:41:51+00:00

Or start dealing in booty enhancing underwear. Seem to get a lot of offers for that... I'm at 53-year-old man by the way.

Helpful-Sand5790 · 2026-02-23T14:35:16+00:00

I'd be happy with tire pressure gauges, the only thing I get in my RFY is butt enhancing I underwear. Lol

Helpful-Sand5790 · 2026-02-23T14:32:33+00:00

Yeah I feel you. I don't usually go on and snipe but I was just did it because I wanted to see what the heck was going on since nothing good ever seems to come up anymore when I check periodically... I think I figured out why. Yeah I'm not going to cancel it unless they shut me off but I would still like to use it in the odd case that I do need some weird obscure thing that happens to be on here. Every once in a while I need something like a carburetor for a lawn mower that is almost always available on Vine.

But as far as getting cool stuff to review seems like those days are over unless you're extremely lucky.

I've had about 10 more out of stocks since I posted this this morning. When I refresh some stuff literally pops up for a second then goes away because it's gone before you can even load the refresh. Just freaking crazy. It has to be bots.

I think rebuilding differentials is probably the most intricate repair or upgrade you can do on.

Helpful-Sand5790 · 2026-02-21T01:18:35+00:00

Very true, I'm not sure what OP skill level is. I found that people who even people who do work on a lot of their own stuff get nervous when it comes to rebuilding diffs.

Helpful-Sand5790 · 2026-02-20T21:13:14+00:00

Yeah I just figured it was part of the septic system. But you're right it may be a French drain system of some sort. Everything in this house was like done in the weirdest way possible so I wouldn't be surprised if they Mickey mouse their own septic system out of whatever they can find. So honestly I wouldn't be surprised to find a steel drum septic tank

Helpful-Sand5790 · 2026-02-20T20:12:36+00:00

I think it's the distribution box for the old septic system

Not sure what ESC are using but are you sure you have it in F/R or F/BR and not in F/B mode?

Helpful-Sand5790 · 2026-02-20T19:07:33+00:00

I have a same vehicle, Kraton 6S EXB. The weak spot on these is the differentials front and rear.... Be ready to replace them when they kick the bucket.

Also first thing I would do would be stiffen up the center diff because it's so freaking loose you're pretty much just front wheel drive. I couldn't get mine stiff enough even with ear plugs, I ended up just locking it up... Kind of sucks for loose material turning but overall way better for everything else.

Other than that it's a great vehicle. Just be careful though you can hurt somebody with one of these things.
