Or has a different chassis/topdeck combo vaused some alignment problems?
Thats made me think, with the PAL R2 conversion having machined section for the bulkheads and motor mount, won't it also need slightly shorter steering posts. Is this going to be a dremel job? or will hey machine the chassis at the steering post holes or include shorter parts needed?

On a side note about my local club racing, we've just ordered the Road Rail system, so no more rolling and unrolling of long fire hoses that then need to be taped or nailed down 
Should look a lot more profesional too, and stop some of the all too easy corner cutting you get when you use flat fire hoses
Just hoping I get my next order from Steve by next Monday, it's looking like it will arrive on Monday at the earliest
I need the extra diff I ordered or it will be one way slideyness on the wooden floor 
it can be done but it takes big *ahem* to get your thumb to keep on the power in every corner even though everything tells you it has to go slower to make it, you still need to slow down but long before you arrive at the corner very odd and very difficult not to spin out atleast once a lap

the upper deck had counter sunk holes there where the post mounts . it was done that way so you could use it with out shorten the steering post. the movement is free and if you installed the short post then you simply added a washer no biggie. but i never had a problem with it.

Well our work was done for nothing though. I still got it 100% tweak free which was time consuming, but should be very worth it on the track.
It gets it's debut in BL today

one day its' on the right front and the next day it's in the rear..
can't figure it out.....
I laid the chassis down on a flat glass panel...unscrewed the upperdeck & bulkheads and retightened.
