While it seems you guys have found a legitimate issue and from measuring my 2015, it appears the ride side of my rear hanger is .5mm wider than the left . . . I will say that I never noticed a performance issue with my car. In fact, I've owned a 2013 and 2x 2014 and my 2015 is the best of them all. My 2015 feels incredible. I'm not saying you guys shouldn't complain, but I absolutely love the way my car performs on the track.
I used to think my eyesight was great, I never noticed a performance issue with it. Then somebody realized I couldn't read things that weren't very far away which they had no problem with. I went to the eye doctor and couldn't believe what happened when he tried some different lenses, I had no idea that my eyes were so bad because it was all I knew.

That's his carpet set up.
Actually Bayer really likes his +2 RR hanger and the chassis spacer - he used it and won the Euro outdoor offroad race back in 2013 I think - Valloioide?. Check for photos on petitrc set up section...the set up sheet says he's using the standard '13 RR hanger, but the photos show another, at the time prototype RR+2 hanger being used.
Nice find as well on the Team C hanger, but dang, they're $33! I thought Xray was supposed to be the expensive brand, lol. I'd like to see one mounted up as well with the bushings and confirmed on the CMM...looks good though!

It can be better. Even just by switching the inserts around to even it up mine felt better overall.

Are your lap times better or is just a physiological thing now?
Great to hear about your eyes.

This is a pretty stupid question but I'm going to ask anyway. I'm browsing through the manual before I build the 2015 kit and I plan on building it with the shorty pack configuration. At what page do I go to until I turn to page 39? It seems like the manual kind of jumps around quite a bit. or do I use pages 39-44 to replace the steps through out the build?
Thanks for any input!
edit: nevermind. I figured it out after I read the, "follow the supplementary instructions starting on page 39 (using parts from Bag 09)." I'll just print out a copy of the manual instead of flipping back and forth through the pages and highlight when I need to refer to the supplementary instructions.

I have a question in regards to setting the slipper clutch. I read back around page 380 or so (can't remember exactly) and someone else asked the same question but it somehow turned into a heated discussion. Anyway, it's my first 4wd buggy and I was wondering the best way to adjust the slipper clutch and what is a good starting point? I generally do the, 'hold both rear wheel down and blip the throttle' to see how far the front end lifts off the ground to start with then fine tune it at the track. I'm assuming this isn't possible with 4wd. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Thanks!
