Tried out hart sons setup and really make my car a handful. Loose and oversteer. I think I will try the worlds finland setup next. Not much differences tho.:roll eyes:

uN4RACING! could I possibly get a look at your setup sheet and try that out?

Make sure you are popping them on and hearing a nice click when the get on, double check with your nail to see if it is loose, make sure the right e clips are used and your shock shaft is ok and not bent or worn out. The stock shocks on this car are fine and work really nicely.

Default Working on my FT build...

The transmission gears seem to mesh really rough. I used 1 drop of diff lube on each gear, they just seem loud and rough. Is that normal? Will they smooth out? I double checked the shims, made sure the transmission housing wasn't too tight.

As per the manual. On the CVA that goes into the gearbox, there is one shim on the outside of each bearing. On the Outdrives, there are two shims insided the bearing on the long side and 4 shims inside the bearing on the short side. Is that what your looking for?

If you just built it, it's going to be a little gritty. Just comes that way from the molds from the factory. Stick a 6.5 in there and grab some throttle, it'll smooth out.
