the only things i have changed is added Avid system . .05 shim under outer front ball stud . 2 degrees caster insert . moved rear hubs all the way forward , adjusted radio EXP L & R +12 and duel rate down to 60% total steering and still turns on a dime

What direction do you run the tapered side?

I run mine since last month taper down so basically faster rebound and more pack in downtravel.
On another note I started using the brakes mid air for nose corrections. What a difference, used to tune it before with drag brakes, now can consistently hit the back side of the slope with all 4 wheels!!! Thanks guys

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"?

As far as flipping the diff, it doesn't matter what side the diff nut is on, I have filliped the diff on all my cars with the diff never loosening. If I remember correctly AE and Losi use to always have their diff nut on the opposite side of each other.
