RW RACING-112-64P.
On the CGM i had to run a 96-64p spur to get a 5.6 ration down to a 7.7. On the BD a 112 gives you about the same ratios. I found that with a 112 you have to unscrew the cross brace to get it to fit . 2-3 teeth bigger and you may be outa luck.

Re: Steering Slop

Anyone else notice more slop in the steering than when you first built the kit?
The source seems to be at the bearings mounted in the carbon fiber plate that the steering links connect to. I tried removing the shims but of course that completely locked the steering. I'm thinking maybe a thinner shim.
Unless the bearing itself has become more wobbly, I'm not sure how there could be a change since there doesn't seem to be any wear on the blue steering mounts, and the shims don't seem to have any wear???
Any ideas how I can improve this area?

Has anyone got a news on when the EA chassis will be out for the BD?

Glue the flange of the bearing to the steering rack, this will take out a ton of play. Then order 7 packs of ZC-207A and use the open ended ballcups on the entire car. These will be tight at first, so pinch the cup with pliers to loosen it up a bit, and they will also loosen up more when run. This should get your steering slop free.

The price on them will be around what BMI sells kits for. It will come with Chassis, Top deck, shock towers and possibly a front bumper brace. It all depends on how the componets lay out on the sheet of graphite. Street price should be in the 100-120 range. But will know more after we figure up what we can lay out on a sheet.
Also it will be offered in a Aspahlt kit (thinner chassis and differnt shock towers) and a carpet kit (thick chassis and towers optimized for foam towers to slam the body).
Thanks

how do you think your set-up will do at SWR? haven't had a change to get up there or else I would have ask Alex for set-up help.

Finally got to test out the Boca Ceramics yesterday.
Here is what I found.
They did improve the freeing up of the drive train.
and by doing so improved my lap times...But only marginally
The car is silky smooth, but it now has a little bit oversteer issue I will work out this week.
Not sure if the oversteer issue is from the new bearings but I will fix it either way.
Had a blast out at 4Fun though....
Until GOD turned on the 85degree Blow dryer....eyes were a burning...LOL
