also the diff appears to be smooth but really tight (backed screw 3/4 per insttructions), as if the diff lube with the kit is too thick-any thoughts here, build error?
maybe the same o ring issue..checking

Thanks for tip on diff cups. Not having a CX manual I missed that bit.
(even raced the car on Sunday with them loose)
I too found the sway bar touching the cups, and what I did was to turn the holders around (needed a small bit of filing), this moved the angled part of the bar away from the cups.
Seems to work, but the end ball bits are only half on.
Putting rear bar on front wont work as it tangles with the shock springs.

with the spur facing the motor option-is it normal that the spur gear pulley has about 1mm of left to right play (on the layshaft)?
it seems ok but maybe a washer between the layshaft bearing and layshaft set shaft is needed? or is the play actually a good thing?

rotate them 180º so they sit against the raised section of the bulk head
(you will need to file some of the black plastic away at an angle where the grub screw goes through, not too much but just enough).
This will move the roll bar back about 8mm

One thing i can see holding it back is not having a Gear Diff, Schuie is generally very proactive on new advancements im surprised there isnt one available. Is it in the works?
And before you say a gear diff isnt always the best option etc etc, remember racing on goat tracks, a ball diff is shot in 2-3 runs if your lucky.

Can the CX chassis be used on the LP ?
(am looking at the soft weave version, outdoor racing)

I would have though that with Schumachers impressive history that they would have made a gear diff with their own spin on it. (same expectation as with Xray)
The Spec-R's are better than nothing, but a logn way from the perfect solution.

how are the new cvd and pins holding up? i am trying to figure out what spare i need for the cx besides arms, castor, and steering blocks.
we are fortunate to not have walls on the track.
