Quick question: is there any complete kit for the spur damper system that includes all the parts we need to do this modification in the right way?
Thanks for replies,

AOC win
The second round of the Asian Onroad Champion (AOC) was held in Melbourne, Australia,their was several big names came out from Europe,Asia,USA for the event,and to Scotty thanks for a top event.
It was my first time ever that i had ran on carpet,so for me and 95% of the other drivers it was too.From day one the car felt good,so i let the track came to the car,and only changed two settings,from what i have been running out side leading up to the event.
So after practice ,qualifying,rounds i placed the car 2nd in the A main,i was over the moon with this placing,onto the finals,after a bad round one,it was up to the last 2,I managed to win the 2nd ,but placed 3nd in the last,but this was enough for a WIN in the 17.5 stock class,and on the way helping the only other Awesomatix driver at the event.

you must adjust the depth of the spr02 w/in the shock slot. someone has posted a trick of using part of a paper clip to provide additional spacing between the spr02 and shock body. i generally just move the spr02 in and out re-adjusting the set screw until it runs perfectly.

Anyone from Norcal think the AM06S would be the way to go for our local tracks: Nor-cal, Speedworld and new Delta indoor asphalt?

The shimmed out "AM06S" with 1.0mm at the bottom is very similar to the AM06 but provides a slightly longer link (this is Mike Gee's setup). I've personally been running super low roll centers in stock / 13.5. I'll be trying that soon in modified on asphalt too.
also -- the A700L (non USA spec) and A700EXL are available at shop.awesomatixusa.com

I tried the regular A700L, Brandon's AKA BOR, and I can't imagaine a car being more dialed: crazy steering but still stable and he had a slower motor than me but still pulled my car out of every corner.
He sold me and I am sure one other guy, who is selling his other cars in order to buy, in one day

Yep, that's why I was asking, trying to decide which kit to buy from you, usa spec or non A700L

I'm happy to hear that he was making things happen over at SpeedWorld (i'm guessing...)

A few questions:
What's the right way to remove the outdrives from the spool should I ever need to replace them or replace a bearing?
Any tips for making the gear diff smoother? I've got all the upgraded parts (including metal gears) and it feels a bit tight and notchy. Going to two gears helped some. It seems like the o-ring between the bearings is binding it up a bit.
Really enjoying the build so far. What a marvelously engineered kit.
