Here is what I use. I like it because you can disassemble it and lay it flat in your tool box.

Loved that song when it came out - I remember bouncing around to it as a little kid!

69/34 you have to cut the gearbox cover. This is with a d3.5 maxzilla with full timing.

If your pinion gear rubs on the gear cover do this. Take a silver sharpie and color the cover where the pinion gear is then install it on the car. Run the motor for a couple of throttle blips. Remove the cover and see where the silver sharpie was worn. Then take a dremel sanding drum to that area. Color that area again and repeat the process until you don't hear that noise anymore.

Default Shocks

Has anyone replaced the plastic shock pivot balls on the bottom shock eyelet with metal ones? If so which ones did you use?

I found going for the metal balls on shock ends was about the same as far as play goes, maybe worst so I kept the plastic ones on the 6, watching carefully not to over tighten them.

However, I found the metal ones sold with the NGC kit for the Lazer with a flat side that rest well on a wishbone were a good solution for the rear.
Can't remember the part number for them.

Wow you guys gear high I ran the Orion 17.5 at cactus and was geared 69/31 with more than full timing and just let her eat. Resulted in 2nd over all for the 17.5 buggy class.

I was running some laps on a test track here in battle creek Michigan...very loose track,with light gravel and dirt mix...buggy was wonderful...then that alarm sounding noise...a small piece of debris had found its way into the slipper gear housing and several prices of very small stone were impregnated into both...spur and opinion...I'm running an aluminium pinion...I think the garbage got in through the motor bolt hole...is there a gasket or seal to correct this issue...
