Got a CE on the way, going to build it up for my local turf track. Brand new turf and its grippy, my DE with battery all the way back was pulling wheelies with a ball diff. Anybody have a set up they strongly recommend? Or just start with the box and report back with my feedback to have you gurus guide me in on the setup of my dreams?

I just finished converting my CE to Dirt spec and I notice that I have my rear turnbuckles hitting my springs. My links are in stock position in both rear hubs and rear camber mounts. Did anyone else have this problem? Any input would help. Thank you in advance.

My rear camber links don't connect at the shock tower but on mounts located behind the rear shock towers. I followed my build via the manual but i still get my turnbuckles hitting the spring on compression. Th only way I can get a few mm is by shortening my wheelbase which I'd rather not do.

I noticed after a few weeks of driving this was the case with my DE. Added a couple MM shims on the tower. Didn't impact either way. Probably stating the obvious but thought I would mention in case you didn't consider that yet...

Aluminum shock collar nut
Referring to the collar/nut used to screw down the springs to adjust ride height. Anyone notice when at the same height as the screws on the front shock tower they rub the screw? The black anodization is rubbing off. Also worried that the spring may be slightly binding

Can you share the parts needed to convert.

II ran my CE last week for the first time. It was my first time with a 2wd on carpet. I only drove a 2wd one other time on clay and didn't really like it. But idk if its cause I am now on carpet or if it's the buggy but I love it. Anyways the car had all the medium plastics on it. I am running on green carpet. Would I benefit from switching to the hard parts? I was going to do it a little at a time. I just added the hard pieces up front (deck piece that the towers bolt to and the piece that bolts to the chasis). Should I just run with that and see how it is or should I put the rest of the hard parts on (arms, c-hubs, knuckles)?

Take a dremel sanding drum and sand the screws flat on the tower. Take just enough off where you can still fit a driver to remove. Then run a 1mm spacer between shock and standoff. Haven't had a problem since. You can use a black marks a-lot to color the collars.

Thx - did you notice any change in handling?imagine everyone does not know they have the same issue and I wouldn't know the difference.
