For 21.5 racing I was using a Robinson 48P 50T pinion, had to add a 0.5mm shim under the ffg brace to clear the pinion as we were geared around FDR 2.7

Had a installation question about the Rear Floating Gear box. When I attached DT03 stepped bushing between AM81 and AM44-1, the gear box does not swivel left and right. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi jesses
You are not doing any things wrong...the RFG doesn't swivel left and right
it only allow the rear chassis of the car to flex more thus increasing overall rear end grip/traction.

Thanks for the confirmation Frankie!

Sorry another question... instructions shows the use of p11 sleeve between the spur gear holder At20 and bevel gear G03. In doing so, I have tons of slop. If I remove it, everything is nice and perfect with no play at all. So do I not use P11 with the rear floating gearbox?

Thanks for all the help Ova! One last question for now - I just purchased a new gear diff (GD2-S) and the normal din screw that goes in the output shaft were not included with the kit, but rather 2 small blue sponges in their place. Any idea where they are suppose to go?

Thanks in advance!



EDIT: figured it out - location was shown in the A800 manual.

Sorry if I am late for the diff question but for buyers of the latest revision A700 or parts you can follow the Max Mächler Awesomatix A800X Build's Tips & Tricks
Awesomatix A800X - Max Mächler - Build's Tips & Tricks

Yes some parts are different but for the diff just build it like Max said and you should not have any issues

I'd say yes, for most items
The challenge may be that dealers will have to special order s part if their inventory doesn't have it
