Rcabj: Thank you, i thought that a new kit would come with the diff case and diff gear, but wanted to check

Anyone: Does anyone know if the screws i posted above would be suitable for the diff? I have been looking on rc-mushroom.com and this about all i have found in 3x8mm???

Default ROll Center

Guys, just need to clarify something and brotherman if you do see this, hope you can shed some light...


Doesn't HIGH RC = Less Roll (Because the RC point is at its highest and nearest the CG of the car) and therefore appropriate for high traction/bite conditions because we do not need added traction and need the car to be more aggressive. And LOW RC = More Roll, suited for low traction/bite conditions because we need the added weight transfer to add traction which also results in the car being a little lazy?

IN essence is it correct to assume with all other parameters equal;

HIGH RC suited more for HIGH TRACTION TRACK
LOW RC suited more for LOW TRACTION TRACK

Or vis-a-versa?

Or is there more that meets the eye??

Thanks in advance.

Bundy,
The diff needs 4 of 2.6mm x 6mm Flat head screws.

i personally like the 16/19 conversion. other than that the prospec is a serious racer out of the box. but i still upgraded to titanium screws to shave off some weight and i'm gonna go get aluminum shafts to even shave off more weight. lightened two speed is a pretty good option also.

but box stock is really good already. i just personally like shaving off weight to make the car even faster.
