can anyone chime in on why TY uses negative* arm sweep? My thoughts are it adds a bit of initial steering without being to edgy? basing this on the fact that arm sweep generally adds mid to exit steering.

In two days I now broke three of the rear captured ball cups. None of the three snapped in anything spectacular, not a crash or a cartwheel but just landings off a double. I do not see anything binding or any slop in the rear arms or the rear hub to explain it either. They have broken on both sides of the car as well. It had been running strong for a long time until this.
Bad luck?
Weak point?
Some combo of above?
Or am I missing something?

Had a local sticker guy come up with one from one I cut out. If you're interested he can be contacted at [email protected].

Just finished building the diffs and I just thought it'd be a good idea if they specified how much diff oil to put in by weight as it would make it easier to know how much to put in as the thicker diff oils don't spread easily at all.

I also found one of my diffs felt a bit crunchy so I backed off the diff case screws slightly and it was much better. Just hope it doesn't leak.

Most of the setups being copied are from high bite tracks. Even Ty's low bite setup was on a track with more bite than many of the indoor tracks in the midwest.
I've found using 20-60k in the center depending on layout is most optimal for my particular favorite track. Also, fill the diffs every time. It will add a consistency factor from one diff build to the next as Ty stated in his how-to video.
