Cool. Still no probblems with gears stripping? I would imagine not since you using a 2 diff setup on carpet. Gears getting the beat down normally happen with a spool in.
Did you ever get that new BMI motor mount for your car? My new carbon drive shaft and standoffs should be here by Wednesday from Erik.

1)Replace the o-rings on the bottom of the Shock
2)Replace the shaft. If the shaft is no longer the same diameter, you can replace the o-rings all you want but it will still leak. Most damage occurs when using pliers to thread on the ball cups.
Personally, I would replace both the o-rings and the shock shaft.

Replacing the shaft as a matter of course is a good idea when you've had a leak like that. At the very least roll the plain shaft on a piece of glass to see if it has any runout. If it has ANY the shaft must be replaced or it will leak again in very short order.

I did get the motor mount but I had a hell of a time getting it to work. The tranny cases had to be shimmed as well as the motor mount. It took Fred a while but he got it. I couldnt figure it out. the only other complaint I had is in order to set gear mesh or move the motor for anything you have to loosen the screws holding the top deck and lift the top deck in order to access the screw. Didnt strip a single gear though and the tranny is extremely free.

Well I don't think I need to do that to adjust my motor in the FT TC4 version. Hmmm I wonder why that is on your BMI setup. Can't wait to check it out and compare to my FT TC4 so we can get a good look at the differeances.

Its 50/50 at this time. Its getting close, but time off from work is the issue. I really wanted to go and run mod this year... but i havent had near enough track time to feel competitive. I know alot of tricks used in oval will work on TC... mixed/multi-compound tires, mixed spring rates, etc. The FTTC4 could be fitted with an offset/slider battery tray... like an oval car. It would require a bit of dremel work... but i see it being a definite possibility. You arent going to get any runtime with the car before the Birds?
