thank you.
The marks on the split block should face inside for the right combo, fx u have a xa-a split block and want xa block in the rear front position, then u place xa facing inbound that gives u a xa block in the rear front position.

Here is a chart over the block.

Hope this helps

i use 44mm back and front , i had a problem with the front steering upright breaking when i had the 46mm shafts in. It only stopped happening when i changed to the 44's.
With the standard plastic outdrives the 46mm was fine.The problem started when i fitted steel spool outdrives.
Also has anyone got any feedback on the mr33 red springs, ive had good results from using blue f blue R, but im going to try the reds tommorow.

I don't know how it works, but there have been reports that you get more rear traction with dcj's. Tamiya magic at work here?

edit: did a little more reading on this, and what people have been saying is that the rear became more planted and the car turned better. Felt more like "on the rail" feeling. Times improved .2-.3 sec, etc.
anyone noticed that?

when i use to my 417 about a year ago, I never used anything but cvd's. I had steel 46's in the front and kept right up with cars that had ecs's in them. Keep them clean and they stay nice and smooth for the life of the car, thats tamiya magic at work might have something to do with the way the suspension is designed on that car as well.

I wish!

They give more on power grip and a bit more rotation. They don't wear as much either

The car is much smoother to drive with DCJs in the front at least. It might not be much faster but it's definitely better
