Im not sure if many of you guys have experienced this or not but when switching between a ball diff and gear diff there is a huge difference in how they accelerate. It seemed as if my ball diff was slipping yet there was no barking noise coming from it (all 3 of my ball diffs do the same thing). It didn't seem to matter how tight i tightened my ball diff. I started to thing that maybe the rings themselves are turning on the diff out-drives. Yesterday I took my ball diff apart an checked the rings where they sit on the diff halfs and sure enough, both rings had a polished portion where they had been turning on the diff out-drives. I cleaned everything and added a couple dabs of super glue between the rings and out-drives and no more slippage. No more acceleration problems, both ball diff and gear diff had almost identical acceleration....
Just an FYI.

You'll need a 5x13x5 front bearing. This bearing is very uncommon, so you may buy a 5x13x4 which is a very common losi bearing. I bought the TKO special, and then added 1.2mm shims inside the trans. Make sure the slipper side bearing is pushed all the way out, as if it's not, it can affect your slipper plate placement.
I only run the schelle as a dual disk, and love it. I stripped a 78 tooth spur on Saturday, and was super happy I could walk in my LHS and buy a few extras instead of having to keep stock on another xray part.

I talked about that previously in a few of my setups. The kyo long ends will help; however the length isn't that far off the other cars. I would tell you to pull all limiters, and unscrew the lower eyelet until you can get to 94.5mm over all length.

Just to add to this. I went ahead and ordered KYOLA43 from Losi parts house for $3 to try, and will report back with pics.

You'll need a B5M V2 top shaft.
You'll need a 5x13x5 front bearing. This bearing is very uncommon, so you may buy a 5x13x4 which is a very common losi bearing. I bought the TKO special, and then added 1.2mm shims inside the trans.

Here's where I am at now. Pay attention to rear shock placement, rear shock overall length measured from eyelet to eyelet, as well as the rear camber link. On the inner akerman link, I Added a 1mm shim to the stock 2mm shim. This helped calm the car down immensely, and make it VERY smooth from off-center steering.
I tried the high wing and it made the car jump horrible.
Some added notes: No battery brace, schelle slipper with two white pads. 2 degrees anti squat with 3 degrees rear toe. This car has an INSANE amount of on power traction. Car weighs 1550 ready to run, has a 37% front and 63% rear bias.
My current layout (updated setup wasn't on the car yet):
Thanks for all the setup work/advice, I'll be trying out this setup next time i get to the track.
