I'm converting to the 36T pulley and 21T centre pulley combo and have all the parts needed to convert. But have a question though... do I need to change the bearing holders and pulley on the front as well or just the rear? Wasn't clear about this, need help
Thanks.

Further to the above...
There is the slot where the spur gear shaft is attached and that allows you to take up the slack in the front belt; so, you only change the rear belt to a shorter length.

I must say, the wishbone will break if you hit it just right, but I rarely break anything even if I crash. The PHI is a strong car, I still have 2 PHI and 2 PHI 09. The best thing with the damper/shock is to use the tamiya black damper oil seal. Also you must make sure you only tightening the aluminum part and not turn the plastic part of the cap. If it turns on it's own that's fine, but you mustn't turn it.

Thanks for the info Still Bill and PHI/BMI racer.
What Phi rear belt should I use and where can I get one? I tried an x-ray 180mm belt but it's very very tight after installation (used x-ray since I thought it's the same as it's also 180mm size )

Check in the PHI manual as to which belt you need. It will depend on your set-up. www.stormerhobbies.com has Corally parts (belts), but if you in the USA then the local Corally USA store should have. Best thing would be to phone them.

Some people run with a bit of slip on the rear diff, I prefer none. The problem is that the diff will overheat and the back end will be more loose in corners. This will also cause the need for more frequent rebuild of the diff. I am not sure what motor you use, but I been using a 4T so very powerful. I have no slip on the rear diff and run the front a bit tighter. Also you need to make sure the diff is built perfectly, this was my biggest problem when I started racing. The diff is a very important part of the car. Apart from building correctly, you need the right diff balls, diff grease, and the plates need to be worked perfectly. Let me know if you need anymore help...
