Ok, so I've driven this buggy 6-7 times. I've yet to get comfortable with it . I'm running the law 50 gear diffs 5k front 3k rear, 40w front and 30w rear shocks, gold front and rear springs. Running tekin rsx and redline gen2 7.5. My issues are the car jumping like garbage , rear end is jumping around , cornering is a joke, I'm breaking knuckles with ease, ball studs bending, rear dog bone doesn't want to stay put, and today I snapped la361 the piece with the ball stud in it. And the bumps teen is crazy even with 2mm spacer..help!
My suggestion, go back to the ball diffs for now and see if the problems continue. Make sure you didn't bend any shock shafts as well. In addition, don't be afraid to ask someone else to look it over as a second set of eyes to see if there is something that you might have overlooked.

I plan on getting this so I can run the center diff when it becomes available. I will stick with ball diffs for the front and rear. Have a friend who went this route on his B44.3 and it made the car surprisingly good. Still fragile, but it was insanely drivable. That's the other great thing about this car. They don't need to come out with a whole new model to introduce new concepts, they just keep upgrading the car already out. I appreciate that.

[QUOTE=Kraig;13967945]I don't know of to many people using the gear diff on this car. Now I am not saying that is causing everything you are experiencing but if the drive train is not working properly it could cause the car to do these things and thus putting stress on other components.

Ya I'm gonna try the ball diffs and see if I can't get a handle on this thing. I was really hoping that the gear diffs would help as I drive my mp9 like a bat outta hell. That and I have next to zero experience with ball diffs. I've had a few people look at my zx6 d they don't see anything built wrong but they trip on the bump steer and how stiff the suspension is. Thanks Kraig

Chriso138, I was running tebo's surf city setup which had 40wt in the front. The handling was released sketchy. I race on a high traction, clay, small technical track. I went to 35wt oil in the front and it was a lot better.

Does anyone know which side the bronze shims go ?

There is no quick answer to that ProfessorX. You will have to use a combination of the silver (thick) and gold (thin) shims to properly shim your diff. You need to pay attention to the mesh with the pinion and the amount of side to side play. Ideally you want a tiny amount of play in the gear mesh (action should still feel smooth), and a snug fit in the gear case with no side to side play so that the gear mesh cannot change on you.
