Interesting, I had seen it a couple of months back, but forgot about it.
Conditions in UK these days are hard going.

Hope this suggestion helps as this was beyond a normal "wear item" fo sure.

By the way, has anyone tried the MIP bypass technology valving in their RB6 shocks yet????

So I don't know why I never noticed or tried this before, but I realized that if you flip the diff and your swing shafts/axles together, you change which side of the out drive and which side of the swing shaft pin get the "on-throttle" wear.
I flipped it all around before my weekend race and had zero issues. Adjusting the diff now requires you go in from the side with a flat head (cant reach the little hole anymore)... but other then that.. it's a good way to get better life out of your swing shaft pins and out drives. Maybe swap them all around every couple weeks when you pull things apart to clean or rebuild.
For all I know, you guys all do this already
Anybody forsee any issues with this? Maybe some braking inconsistency as the contact wear is now on the "braking side" of the pins/outdrives instead of the "throttle side"?

Pretty sure that's a bad idea because now you risk the chance of the diff loosening. When braking with the differential flipped now when you stop it rotating in the "loosen" direction on the nut. I was always told to run it the right way. Swapping the swingshafts shouldn't be a problem but I don't see too much of a benefit. Maybe a little now that the less flattened part is on the outdrive during acceleration.

Don't see the need at all. Ghea pistons all around with stock shocks with oil tuned for air temps. I can take a HUGE triple on my indoor nitro track and still cruise through the bumpy ruts without steering corrections. Plus I heard the MIPs work well but the side flaps need servicing since they are a wear item.
