How are the tiny-bore-huge-spring shocks working for everyone so far? I don't think they're really working out for me so far...

I've been using them on the SVR for awhile run as emulsion shocks and I really like them - that's on a lumpy bumpy indoor shirt tight clay track of course

Heavy I'm considering one of these to replace my overweight 410 for blinky class. Do you know if the alloy diffs for the Mi4CXL are the same width as the K1 diffs? Construction looks the same just hard to tell from photos if the width is the same.

Yes meant the outdrives. From what I could see in instructions for on road car they are alloy with plastic cover just wondering if overall diff width is the same and therefore these could be used on K1 in place of standard steel outdrives?

Roughly the same overall width but with the Mi4 diff by the time you put in the plastic insert to the outdrive you would lose pin travel which you need for offroad compared to onroad

The other thing I would have to check for you is if the width between bearings is the same for neatly fitting in the bearing seats - next time I have the diff out of the K1 I'll check that
