Binding lower arms?
Hi guys,
I've just completed building the T2 and this is the best kit i've put together. I've built probably 15 or so kits in my years in the hobby and must say that in the T2 all parts were a perfect fit. Everything went together real nice. The manual and the information included is first class. This guys at X-Ray pay attention to detail.
I thought I'd share one trick to help with anybody who has problems with their lower arms not moving freely. As we all know we should not have any stiction with the arms and it should pivot completely stiction free from the hingepin. When lifted up it should drop back down from it's own weight or you are guaranteed to have trouble on the track.
The reason is that there is a chance that when you lock the lower hinge pin blocks(roll center blocks), you might twist it that it binds the lower arm.
Solution: Apply pressure to the arms toward the block while locking in the blocks to the alu bulkhead. Do the same with all the blocks.
You will find that now it's butter smooth.
Cheers!

Shocks
I currently have the adjustable pistons in my shocks. How do you check shock lengths? Sometimes you extend the shock and it goes all the way so you can change the piston and sometimes it doesn't. So there are really 2 lengths. Wouldn't this be the case while driving? Are the adjustable pistons good or should I not use them?

Once you set the droop the shock can only extend so far and will not get into the detent slot, so you won't have a problem with that.
The adjustable pistons work great, so easy to make adjustment while at the track without having to rebuild shocks to change pistons.

About the multi-diff settings
The front multi-diff can be set to three mode:
1. standard one-way
2. solid one-way
3. full-time solid axle
But I don't konow the detail info of solid one-way. What‘s it? What's the difference with full-time solid axle? What's advantage of it? Thanks.
