Cub86 posted the question: Hi. I'm struggling to understand the lay down situation. I run on high bite damp smooth clay and think the conversation would help on my surface but from what I'm reading I need to buy the lay down kit tlr338004. And the dirt gear case tlr332063. But do I really need both from what I've read the dirt case is 1-2mm higher anyway and u don't use the +3mm hubs or the front pivot hrc or Hrc mod. So is the dirt lay down kit tlr332063 is all that's needed to get me a lay down set up that's suited for clay With the components and car I already have. And if I only get the dirt case is there any problems that will need to be addressed IE.. bone plunge . I do know I'll need 1mm spacers on the waterfall to clear the battery. Thanks guys really trying to get my head around this.

Franks response:
Laydown Conversion will work great by itself. You run the aluminum +3mm hubs, the diff is +3.5mm, and you run the HRC front setup. Just follow a setup sheet from tlracing.com (Frank Root).

Dirt Tranny has the diff at the same height as the standard tranny case, and works with the standard plastic hubs. Both are +/- 0mm from stock. When you run this, no need to run the HRC front mod either.

I've found the stock laydown conversion parts to work great for most tracks. The dirt tranny is a great tuning option, but definitely not 'required'.

Something I made, pretty basic. Just to give people an idea.

If he TQ'd & won then it's safe to assemble he'd have done it without this single modification. Better for us club racers to trust TLR's engineering and not hack up our cars.

Thanks Kevin
pretty much the same, the only difference is I'm running short vla and 1 inside on front shocks. By going to long VLA how did it effect the car?

I felt like the car is more stable at least on my current layout. I can really drive it into the corner and it doesn't want to dump over. We have a straight that goes into a tight turn with 3 step downs into another right turn and a big triple. This seemed to keep the front end flatter and just more stable through there. Short was good also but just a little more aggressive if the weight didn't transfer perfect over that section.

Mmmm.... Chances are he had a good bit of time on that suspension to know the pro's/con's with it. But, I doubt he ran it at risk of a performance loss. He has created a lot of mods for cars over the years, & some were really cool.

It's fun to tinker to learn, if that's your thing.. whether it's mod'n an OEM, or trying crazy setup changes.. To each their own. I like to do both.. To learn. And it's not cheap..

+1 on the typical club racer... Put your time into learning setup & no wrecks! It'll save you money & make you a lot faster.

I only know Frank from the forums. It's rare to have a Mfg Smartie Pants share their smarts so openly. It's a good thing to keep going. Plus, he knows all the details on the new iPhone 7 design & features!

Just normal ones. Just remember when you space out the axle to do the same on the inside to fill the void when the axle is moved out. I've gone as much as 1mm so you will need a total of 2mms of shims
