I'm in contact with Elwyn on this one. He's been giving me good support. Can't beat his service! So far it's okay. I like the bottom end, mid-range, and brakes a lot better than a Tekin. But I'm not sure on the top end like the turbo on a Tekin. I was getting out motored on the straight on our outdoor track. But that was on Stock II with 22.5, I switched to Stock III with 18.75 and that seemed to help. I'd like to try higher, but my motor temp was 180° on my Ballistic 17.5. I did get fastest lap for the main today. So I'm at a good range on it. I'll play with it some more. If you have any useful info, shoot me a PM on it. Thanks.

the new topdeck is harder to go with the much softer 5cell plate

Robotrat, I would contact RCMarket for ceramic diff balls. Yokomo ones seem to be overpriced, and I think, not sure... but think Yokomo only had tungsten balls for the thrust. At least, that's what I have in my diffs. I need to pick up a complete set of ceramics for my aluminum diff.

Here are the ceramic diff balls. But I can't find the ceramic thrusts balls.

Hey Martin, or whoever. Shock question for those running the black bladders and single o-ring setup.... Are you running foam inserts on top of the bladders or nothing? Thanks.

I'm not running foam insert either. But I'm running some rebound. I think I might try no-rebound. I ran this way when I had a 416 and it felt good.
