I am wondering the same thing. That is why I was interested in the one I saw Kevin (TLR team manager) was running on his car because it did not mount to the aluminum piece that the gearbox attaches to like the X-factory brace. So it would work perfectly with the exotek gearbox. I will see if I can get a picture posted.

Thanks for the pic. Is that just another rear tower (cut up a little?)
So is the consensus that the exotek laydown will not work at all with the xfactory CF rear brace? I really want to run the rear shocks on the front, but I'm not gonna shell out the money for the TLR laydown since I already have the exotek.

Happy to report that the CF rear brace works just fine with the exotek laydown! You do have to dremel off the bottom holes and widen the opening, but it wasn't hard. It's not perfect, but really happy with how mine turned out. The one negative is the spur cover will not fit without hitting the shock spring, so that is a bummer. Other than that, looks great. Can't wait to try it at the track.

Anyone running a Orion ultimate stock 17.5 in there 3.0?? What gearing should I start at??

Couple of quick questions. The setup sheet says Ackermann ball stud low mount or standard. I have the tlr aluminum steering rack. Ackermann spacers would be behind the inner tie-rod ball? Lastly bump steer spacers would be under the outer tie-rod ball stud? Thanks in advance

Has anyone found when cleaning with simple green 50% and 50% water your screws begin to rust a bit?
I always wipe on and use a dry rag to wipe off.
Thanks

I stand by my comment I made many pages ago. The new car, if there is one, will use the existing platform with the lay down tranny and other improvements.

Oh shoot dangit!!
And the laydown kit is on back order or not being made anymore as the rumors fly about a 4.0 buggy, haha...
Please Let me know if I will be able to order a laydown kit soon, I feel as if my driving is ready for it.
Just moved up to the 13.5 Pro stock class.
Thank You very much again,
John

Not that motor, but I run a VST2 and gear 35/70 and it comes off the track just warm to the touch. It's torquey. I'd start lower, the ultimate being newer is probably set up with more timing.

A 4.0 will be interesting. But have to say my 3.0 w/laydown and exotek rear shock brace is money on carpet right now. Car is hard to beat.
