That sounds good, I may have to try golds.

Must not have got a good tighten on them or something

Before next race, I have lowered the front inner camber link, 700-500, gear diff. Still kinda up in the air on what else to do. I don't know much on how the 416 acts to changes yet, so I am just trowing stuff at it until it works.
I personally found that Jilles setup to have too much roll as well on higher traction surfaces...Check my setup from Nats...traction was really high and the tires were solaris Hards. To run Sorexs I would just remove the front sweep and a little less camber other then that this setup is pretty good.

Give it a try you might like it...

When I get around to it I think I'll try and make a hybrid gear diff.

Spec-R casing
Spec-R outdrives
3R shims
3R gears

This would give you the hard outdrives that take the 3mm blades, a casing that doesn't need to be shimmed to fit the 416, and the best internals. Whether or not it'll all work together remains to be seen

For high traction Jilles' setup is a very good starting point as far as geometry goes. Try the thick oil, you may want even thicker like 800wt. I ran 600 all round recently on high traction and needed to go way thicker, but didn't have any. Running x/d will also really free the rear up if steering remains a problem.

As for your cvds, get the TOP pin retainers. Not only do they give you certainty that your pins wont move, they give you more steering and they make rebuilding a breeze. They are probably the favourite thing I have on my car

Thanks both of you, I will be trying these suggestions. Can't wait to get more track time on this car, I really like it.

tried the spec-r gear diff on my 416x today at local track.... got more corner speed and seems to be leak free at this stage gone through 2 packs
....use 2 shims per side and greased up o-rings and also use gasket glue on gasket...will see how long it will be leak free

It'll probably still leak a bit through the orings, but not too much. I wonder when the new clear orings will be available

I'm hoping the 3r gear diff is just as good, I love the Spec R but it got sloppy so fast. I know the gears are like $5 but the whole point of the gear diff is so you don't have to rebuild it

Hi All,

I am looking to purchase a 416X kit. Been looking through setup sheets and besides the kit suspension blocks, 1D blocks are used as well. Are there any other suspension blocks that are essential to have?

Thanks...

Except for a 1D at the very back of the car (to give 2.5* rear toe) I am using the stock blocks all around. It's nice to have a couple spares because I've seen people bend them.

They do have new o-rings out but they are not clear. I haven't had the chance to run them yet but I will this weekend.
