Those bulkheads look the business 
, Are these being sold anywhere?

Hi Rick,
Does reducing the weight of the layshaft that goes through the pulleys and spur gear hub make that much difference?, i know it will be lighter, but will it be faster?. The reason i ask is, i posed a similar question a few months back about changing the steel cvd's to aluminum or titanium versions to reduce rotational mass, and many said it didnt make a difference, as the mass is close to the axis of rotation, nothing is swinging

Titanium Racing used to make a lightened layshaft. I bought one, but could not ever get it too work properly. It bound up when turning and made the drivetrain tight. I think the factory one is good, but an alloy one might be worth it especially if you tend to overtighten bolts and strip them.

@Tsquare , i noticed with the 6 degree blocks, that it is a little more stable on the straight, whilst giving slightly less corner entry steering, and more mid, exit corner over the 4 degrees.
The Shock tower mounts that Christer uses, has anyone else tried these, and what have you noticed?, i see he also uses the higher hole on the bulkhead i presume for less chassis roll, and the new shock tower mounts enables him to use similar camber height of that when he uses the lower bulkhead holes?

hey guys im hoping for some help, maybe just point me in the right direction. ive always been an offroad racer but just traded one of my SC trucks for a TC5 to give on road a try. im gonna put my RS Pro in it and have a redline 17.5, 13.5 and 8.5 as motor options. I have NO idea what gearing i should be shooting for, i know it has a 100t 64p spur gear. I would really appreciate any advice you guys would be willing to give me. If its not too much to ask, maybe suggestions as to what FDR with each of the 3 different motor options. Thanks in advance.
