Not sure which chassis filled the b main

here is my setup
the caster spacers are the 8deg setting two small spacers on the rear of the arm pin
the reactive caster is stock
there is around 45 grams under the bellcrank steering
there is 7 on each side of the chassis in front of the battery and 10 grams centered under the rear axle
notes for tuning the differential
if your diff is too loose you will notice while cornering that you are lagging power on corner exit or you might hear your car diffing out ( an audible whining noise) if your diff is too tight then your car will hook and spin when exiting the corner
i have stacked differential washers like so ()( to allow more pressure on the diff plates
if you slap the boards you will seize the 5x11 bearing in the differential
this will produce a locked rear axle feeling
i reccomend using the tamiya f104 thrust bearing to prevent this from happening as it is very frustrating when it happens
i hope this helps, if you have any further questions please dont hesitate to ask or message me on facebook enjoy

I used a 1.5mm hex driver and tapped it with another driver while bracing the diff hub on something hard.
Not a fun thing to hammer an RC car but was necessary to get the pin out. Measure the pin with a caliper and then find a drill bit ever so slightly larger.

These cars are narrower by scale the objective is to stop traction rolling by making it stiffer it makes it harder for the inner rear wheel to lift and therefor traction roll
It should also be noted that I applied ca to the edge of the front tires (more the top of the sidewall) to help prevent traction rolling.
This is a high traction setup so if you have super low traction it won't work as well

Actually thinking about it... Now that you mention it. I think I have a Yokomo blue spring on the car. Sorry I've been so busy I forgot I did that, which would make sense why I couldn't find the other yok blue spring when I was going to put it on my tc... Sorry about that guys.
