Clockwise makes them longer. Counter clockwise makes them shorter... when looking at the link from the notched side (left side of the car).

Raise the ride height. All trucks are going to bottom out, thats normal.

Nope. Always balance charge them. Thats all you have to do.

Is that the offset horn for the 22? do you have a part number for the x-ray washers?

There are many servo horns that will work, but the 22 horn seems to be popular.

Diff washer info provided in link I gave you. Check out the first post, everything you need to know about the diffs to include screws are covered.
http://www.rctech.net/forum/electric...oof-diffs.html

Stanless steel is soft for screws. SS screws don't hold up as well as harden steel. Its a fact. Titanium is nearly as good as steel, but expensive and sometimes you don't get the quality titanium. i have had great results with Mugen titanium screws, but those are metric.

IMO the upper steering plate to have is made by King headz. The plastic one flexes and I have broke a few on 2.0 truck and pulled screws out on the Losi unit when used as Pro8 conversion.
This is the final one time fix:

Some good news on the Associated shock springs. I used the gray springs front and rear recommended by Cutter in this thread. I left truck sitting 6 days on tires with lipo and body on, so full weight. I cycled shocks a few times but mostly let it sit. I just spent 30 mutes cycling the shocks and scaling the truck again. Results are good with less than 1.mm of sag. That tells me the springs are not going to sag out. Only thing I don't like is the rear shock springs are lightly rubbing the shock body. I was able to turn the spring to a few different spots where it barely hits. Annoying, but they fit good and work. Its a direct fit and springs are longer providing optimum amount of adjustment in either direction to get perfect ride height.

Ive been using stainless steel screws from McMaster Carr in my Tekno diffs for 2 years. And now im running them in my SCTE diffs and they haven't stripped out at all. Much better than stock, and you can get 20 of them for $5.

Thanks for the testing. Our whole team has moved to the AE truck springs now.

We did a demo run at a 1/10th buggy indoor meeting a couple of weeks back with four of the trucks being the 3.0 and there has been a lot of interest in how well they ran on the carpet and the local dealer has them flying off the shelves. Hope we see a further pickup in the class.
