Thanks
all of the alloy chassis made by Amtx will be fine once you run the brace down the center.

Can you fit a smaller spur gear so you can use a smaller pinion? Looking at the manual a 50t spur and 37 pinion should fit and give you a fdr of 2.81
The Manual seemed to indicate 36/52 would work too but it doesn't the pinion is simply too tall so 37/50 would be the same.

I see 2 manuals for the A800 on the Awesomatix website. One says January 2016 update. Which is the most current? Thanks

The January 2016 is most current, although I don't think it mentions at42-2 and spr02h3.

What would be a good weight for rear diff oil and damper oil for an EVO II. I'm setting the car up for VTA. Thanks

I would start with ae45wt (~600cst) in the shocks, and 3k in the diff. You can go up on the diff if you need to free the car up

Which store?

If USA?-- not closed, just slammed with orders, worrying more about shipping than order status updates

Thanks was wondering about the USA store. Thought I saw something pop up about one being closed, guess it was the other. I'm new to Awesomatix and trying to figure out about the different sites and such. Got email today that my order had shipped thanks.

In trying to understand the basics of spring / dampening adjustment is it correct that you increase / decrease "A" gap to increase / decrease spring and dampening rates together and you increase / decrease "B" gap to increase / decrease spring rate only?

Thanks
