I really like the way my SC-R handles using the 3mm offset wheels.

Guys does this sound correct? I have 20g on top of bulkhead, 15g on rx side which also has transponder and stuff on that side, i then have no weight on the other side because I have esc there. Full length battery pack all the way forward. I then also have alum hubs and hangers.

There is no "correct". You run weight in different places, depending on your weight goals. I run 0 weight in my SCR, with a shorty. (well.. I run a 10 gram next to my receiver for balance). But that's it. Super high traction, lighter tends to be better. Medium or low traction, you might want a heavier truck for more grip. 100% depends on the rest of your setup, and the nature of your track and surface.

Narrow will make the truck change direction slower, and will be less sketchy. More narrow = lower roll center. Lower roll center = more roll. More roll = more mid corner grip, more roll = slower direction changes.

I am pulling a senior moment. Rebuilding my diff. Had it apart for a few days. What side does the diff screw head go on, left or right? Any help would be great.

The screw head goes on the driver side. Easy to remember because you can't get to the hole in the outdrive to adjust your diff, if it is on the passenger side. Can't really get to it with the gear and cover in place.

Do blitz front axels work on this truck? Or does it need some modification for them to work?

Has anyone had experience with the MIP cva's? Do I still need to keep spare axles?

I have been running the new MIP cvd's for about 3 weeks now and the axles seem to hold up well but I am not a fan of how their hex fits on the keyed axle AT ALL. The hex is almost impossible to get on the axle straight and the little set screw they use (.05) drives me nuts. They use that same size set screw in the CVD also.

The 2 problems I have found with the wheel hex are as follows:

1. The aluminum is WAY too soft. Give it 3-4 good race days and you will see where the hex starts to round out on the inside causing slop.

2. When you go to tighten the set screw on the hex the whole hex wants to tweak the way you are tightening it on the axle (cause of the slop). At first you dont really notice it but once you put your wheel on and give it a little throttle you will see how much the wheel wobbles.

The only work around I have come up with was before tightening the hex set screw, put an old bearing over axle and then install your wheel nut (without the wheel), tighten wheel nut so that it pushes the bearing into the hex and then tighten down the set screw. The bearing helps align the hex on the axle but even doing it this way was not perfect.

I like the keyed axle idea but the hexes need some refinement.

I'm going to go back to my stock Kyosho swing shafts and FLM axles. Never had issues with that combo.

Just my $.02
