Top of the servo, no problems. Got it sitting on the carbon chassis in my off rd buggy and no problems with that either. Loops under the track.

what bearing upgrades have we all tried on our Missions...
I totally recommend the Tamiya Blue seals for the Diff mounts...these are the best bearings full stop!..amazing precision...they have funky ball cages, non metal, like a plastic or composite...very free and quiet...and excellent seals.
i have been using Accer dual polyamide bearings in the hubs and layshafts..not totally sold on them, as Ive had a few seize up...I fel that the only difference from the Kit bearings is the seals..(dual Polyamide), the races arent of the best quality.
I have just installed some ceramics in the layshafts, will see how they go.
has anyone used Boca ceramics on their mission>?, or other brands for that matter?

Ive tried the Acer bearings all round and wasnt too impressed either altho they were an improvment over the year old kit bearings! The bearings that come with the new mission kits have blue seals like the tamiyas but i havnt seen any myself, ill have to get some to try.

Measuring Droop
How does everyone measure droop? Do you measure from the kingpin or the "fat" part of the lower arms. Do you set zero point when the arms (especially the rears) are parallel to the bottom of the chassis?

Im not sure how everyone else does it but i measure the ride height then lift the car untill the tyres are just touching the set up board and measure the height of the car usuing the ride height gauge, the difference in the 2 readings is the droop.

Measuring Droop: I believe most people measure it by taking off the tires and placing the car on a flat surface. Using a ride heigth gauge, measure from the surface up to the bottom of the arm where the hex screw attaches to the hub. The smaller the number, the larger the amount of droop (4mm is less droop than 2mm). Either this or they use the Hudy blocks.

Anyone hear any rumors about a new car? A guy told me that at the Roar on road Nats he heard the word (shaft drive) from someone at Scumacher. Probably just a rumor but I hope there will be at least some updates on the Mission... seems like all the indoor racing is going foam tire and thats not the Missions strong suite.

Bob Barry.....Yes, we have hubs that allow the use of 30mm foams on all of our sedans. The part number is U2581 and the only change will be that the turnbuckle link will need to be shortened accordingly.....
