22 Spur will also be too small as they have the same hole diameter as the B4.

The best, fastest, and strongest servo you can afford. There isn't one magical servo we can recommend without you giving us a budget.

Did you get any locktite in the CV joint?

Randy, Did you remove the rear droop screws or is it full droop with them in?

Full droop with the screws out is WAY too much droop. I haven't measured MY chassis droop yet, but my rear droop screws are unscrewd about 1/2 - 2/3 turn

Started on my kit tonight, and it's been great so far. I'm coming from having owned every generation of XRay EP touring cars (local carpet track is now dirt) and I wanted a buggy that was built like an XRay, and I got it. I have one CVD doing as you described and that is my only issue so far. I have rebuilt both using every combination of bone/pin/coupler/axle there is and have isolated it to one of the axles. Tried every set of holes on said axle with the same result. Comparing the cup of the good axle vs the cup of the bad axle they look the same, I can't see any burrs or machining defects that would make one work and the other not. The holes *look* like they are 180 degrees from each other but I don't have a way to measure it so can't be 100% sure. I'll finish out the car and come back to it, and see if anyone else comes across this issue in the meantime. Everything else about the buggy has met or exceeded my expectations, and believe me they were high!

Randy thanks for posting the setup, I'm starting from there. My track should be a med-high bite track, indoor clay. I know it's a tough gig having to go out and play with your new buggy all day and figure out a starting setup, but someones gotta do it right?

I have a theory for the ball cup popping, for those are having problem, will you guys happen to use the little holes on the ball cup as a levage when you are building the turn buckle? Will there be any chance you may already deform the ball cups when you are building it? Just my 2 cents.

Was putting shocks on the car last night. Noticed one of the standoffs (Part# 330312-3) wasn't completely molded. I looked to see if they were available online, but couldn't find any. Anyone know if the big bore fr/rr metal standoffs will work? Will probably call TD for a replacement too.

It happens without the tranny in as well, it's definitely in the axle somewhere. Good thought though as you can definitely see a potential clearance issue if you don't give that extra turn to the diff screw!

This is what you will need to convert to metal...

and this...

And then use the metal nut that holds the shock screw on the tower to hold the metal unit on. This new piece will allow for quicker shock tuning.

Ok, just to be clear, I need two packs of the rear metal standoffs for front and rear, right?

Two packs of the metal standoffs and one pack of the plastic pivot bushing.
