I'm going back this week again since the dirt track is getting a rebuild for the 1st race of the jconceps winter series. Mayfield, Alex K, JP and a few more top notch drivers are coming.

Mod with the Durango and stock with the b6d. I've been running stock with the Durango up until a few weeks ago when I got the associated.

I'm picking up some of those hexes. My car is almost entirely Exotek at this point. I need the front hex axles but those are out of stock.

Just FYI, the B5 front axels work great. Steel for like 9 bucks.

I was just going to say the same thing. The only difference is the tiny spacer that goes on the back of the axle (or front for wide track) is just a bit too narrow so you might want to use some locktite to hold it in place.
Picked up the rears!

Yeah,the stock covers are getting a little hard to find.. Lol

Doesn't STRC also make a cover for these?

Well it's the final setup week for this car before it actually gets to race against other cars. I've been so busy building other kits I haven't spent time with this car since I did the initial setup. We had a track change in between and now there are some BIG air jumps to contend with.

The car will fly. I had to trim the wing a bit and I'm still getting the balance right but I'm probably at a 1 bad landing per 10 minutes. This car likes to stay on its feet that's for sure. A few two wheel bumbles and the car will usually fall back down upright.

I find it a little hard to remain smooth and effortless around the track. So I changed to caster to 30° and reduced the rear droop a bit to try and settle it down. I'll know tomorrow.

I'm still not confident with the diff. I just don't like it and it feels wrong. The car is not showing any bad habits though.

I think I just need stick time. I don't expect to come out the gate 100% because I'm running an unfamiliar car and brand. Too many years with AE and these cars just feel different.
