assembled the front diff no problem. when assembling the rear diff, the hole drilled in one diff cup shaft seems to be in a slightly wrong spot. The pin has to be forced through the shaft, and causes the assembled half to be very tight, not spinning freely as the others do. Can i drill this out more? Does it need replacing?

Also, there is one bad diff bearing so it looks like i wont be finishing anytime soon. I do not wish to buy these parts. The kit is $700 and I do not intend to spend $740 to get it together.

British Menace

Hopefully you will have better luck when you start racing the car....

One question I do have ....
did your kit come with the Nit ride coated titanium shock shafts?

Lab-C02 comes with plastic diff gears?If yes how often do you change them?

MrHistory

Probably the best thing to do is skim through the Lab C01 thread from beginning to end. I did this recently when I got the C02 kit. This should answer most of your questions.

Yes, the kit comes with composite gears, which are great according to those who have had the car for a season or more, and where said to be like new after a half season of racing by a driver writing in the C01 thread.

My C02 kit came with the following parts:
1. Titanium shock shafts
2. composite gears
3. lightweight axles
4. Aluminum servo saver
5. Kevlar pulleys
6. Low-friction belts
7. Blade style front plastic upper bumper support
8. Plastic battery tray
9. Aluminum one-piece motor mount
10. Standard C02 radio tray (not ffs flex radio tray)
11. Standard blade-type anti-roll bar (not new design)

I would first try some more caster, go to 1mm behind the arm.
Secondly you could try the 0,9mm front anti roll bar.

All other settings seem to be pretty good, balanced.

A shorter front upper arm will give more steering at corner entry, the car also reacts quicker. I had some problems with achieving the right camber settings though, I had to shorten the upper pivot ball by 2mm to get the desired camber settings with the shortest upper arm.

thanks DS ill give it a try this weekend and report back
cheers

I would also think about trying

- 3 rear droop
- 150km front diff
- 35 shore front tires

With these changes you should get much better turn in and middle. You could even go to 198 on the front track width to keep the car smoother.

Hello friends!
I had a pre race weekend trying to find the best set up for My CO2 ( the only in Greece....hihihi) and start using Your set up DS.
The only problem is that the track was very slipery and I will need softer springs than stock. ( I think I must ordere them from Cap )
I tryied to set up the front solid axle and check the letest low grip that Our Friend DS pablished but I am having a problem.
How am I going to use the plastic ship with the axle since it doesn't stay in place? Should I use a glue and glue it to the pinion?
If somebody can help please do...
As for shofter springs I used the Blue Xray ( same length ) but I think I will need something harder..Maybe violet...
