Carbon rear shaft problems
Just started my build of my F104 Pro and having trouble getting the 1060 bearings on the end of the carbon shaft. The shaft will not pass through the bearings.
Are you meant to use a different size bearing with the carbon shaft?
Anyone one else had this issue?

Ball diff issues
Serious question now. I have just built my ball diff and the lock nut seems pretty tight. However I still have a slight bit of sideways movement in the spur, between the two pressure disks and diff housing.
Is this normal, or do I keep tigting the lock nut till this slop goes. Mind you, this will make the diff pretty tight.
Thanks

This is normal. Keep in mind the only important part is that the diff rings/plates should be making contact with the diff balls, not the spur gear sides.

Any decent hobby shop should stock it in a wide range of thicknesses. It's used for all kinds of static and railway modelling. Styrene sheet is commonly known as plasticard. If you can't find it locally there's plenty of styrene sheet for sale on ebay.

Hey man,
You can try a few things - generally, if your tyres are shot at both ends of the car then you should replace them all around, but I digress. Perhaps try any of the followign one at a time;
* Add more weight to the rear, as low down and close to the axle as possible.
* Adjust the T-bar.
* Stiffer spring in the rear shock - this should stop the weight transferring to the front on corner-in, and ensure that you have a bit more shock rebound and hence weight transfer over the rear on corner-out.
* Add a bit of toe-out on the front.
