Hi peeps, I'd like to try the gear diffs, is this the correct number LAW50 and do you need the gear diff case LAW50-01 or does the original case work.
Also what oils work best for low to medium traction indoor clay?
Cheers Justin

Just a heads up for anyone building the kit in the side servo layout as per my pics above. I found I had to remove material from the ball cup, chassis brace and side of the servo horn as I had interference between the top of the horn and brace and between the horn and drive shaft.
Also , the optional aluminium servo horn does not fit at all in this setup and the Lunsford ball studs (rb6 kit) are generally too long and will rub the outdrives, front drive shaft etc unless you cut them down a bit.
Also, if you are planning on running RB6 rear arms you need the rb6 inner hinge pins! Doh.

What is the benefit of running RB6 rear arms?

This nice little build from Ben came up on my FB feed via Kyosho Australia on gear diffs and the bearings are a nice tip.

Hey, I'm noticing my front center driveshaft keeps popping out, any idea why?
Ive put the sponges both up front, I've used my extra sponges from a different build, Some in front some in rear etc, what I think is happening is chassis flex? I'm not sure, but I've tore this down 3x now trying to get it to not pop out. I'm not even driving on a track, just on the street.

Did you put the plastic screw cover inside the outdrive like the ones in the diff opposite the diff nut? If you leave that out it will pop out. I highly suggest following the manual and mot adding additional foam. Because of the angle of the front center outdrive if its pushed in to far it could cause too much bind.
I drove the car last night for the first time and my first impressions of the car are positive. It was lazy getting in and out but a few small tweaks and she came alive. Didnt have any issues with the center driveline popping out and I run a 6.5 with 20% esc timing.

Sure. I started with 32.5/1.6/red front and 27.5/1.6/gold rear. Rear hubs forward with kit setup links. Slipper was med/tight with stock flat arms. Car was way to soft and felt like it was sitting on the rear. It pushed into the turn and it pushed out. Usually my rule of thumb is off power issues are done at the front and on power is usually done at the rear as far as tweaks go. I left the front alone except went down to the gold fronts from red and went up to 35 oil. In the rear I slid the rear hubs back, uped the oil to 32.5 and went to the number 2 hole on the V2 hubs, was running 3/4 hole. I also tightened up the slipper too. These changes alone made the car explosive entering and exiting corners and was very easy to drive fast. Im going back to the track Sunday and will be trying more anti squat to get more drive out of the corner. My home track is med. grip and i ran m4 subs rear and m4 transistor fronts. I used the AKA adapter 2.4" kit for the fronts.
I added a pic to show the layout. I know some people have electronics in different spots.

In most of the ZX6 I have seen so far it seems that regular size servo is the way to do...why is that? Does it balance the car better?
