On the new housing with the 3.0 kit all "points" for the X is high. I can not slide in the pin due to the lowest angle I get.
I will check some of my diffs this week and see if I can help at all. I know the 411/LE used V1 diffs, the TE used V2 diffs, and the Eryx 3.0 has the lightweight. I am not sure what the 2.0 used.

The feeling though is quite different. There is potential in the sytem but I´m unsure of how to unlock it.
Were you able to use the 0.5-0.5 without the pin binding? My hingepin is too long to run straight on the rear without some amount of toe.

Yes wheelbase will be longer, but that seems to be common in many of the setups. My 17.5 carpet car is 5mm front, 1mm rear of the arm, and my mod asphalt car is 6mm front, 0mm rear. The longer wheelbase calms the car down for me.
