I read somewhere about the L/R balance issues but Kentech's build on to the 4 corner weights seems alright.
Evo 6 Black is in my hands!!!

So I've read all 139 pages and have come to these conclusions if I want to run 10.5

SHIM SHIM SHIM - especially the gearbox bevel pinion. Seems 0.3mm is the way to go on the drive shaft side to get rid of the gear plunge.

Tap the diff case threads - stop the screw from expanding and perhaps distorting the gearbox case

I'm half and half on whether to get the Exo6 conversion ... worried as I'm planning to run 10.5 that the main axle drive cups will constantly spread.

Saw a sneaky note from MikeR about Exotek making an alu upper with 419 style camber mounts. Will be eagerly waiting!

And will post some pictures up when the build is done
