Plus it's more consistent and allows me to get closer to the apex.

Whenn are you heading out to the track? I want to see what the truck drives like with it pinned.

I also wonder if the front diff should have lighter oils in it when it's pinned?

I don't think so, it's a good question, running saddle pack using the B44 straps, biggest change is the 550 motor.

Most important change is it wins now.

Cannot wait to throw it on the track, With the slipper pinned the whole truck seems to dig like a 4x4 instead of picking the front wheels off the ground

probably wed at MM. i went up to 7k in the rear too and will be testing the V2 pistons as well, they feel good on the bench, should provide more pack with lighter oils. hole size is now 1.0/1.1 and the top piston has a tighter fit while bottom is looser. if it goes well i will offer two specs.

I don't understand why the pulley was chewed up? It looks like the pin would fit inside the pully without any modifications...

The pulley has to go on after the pin is in the shaft. Meaning the backside of the pulley has to have some material removed. I removed a little more than was needed.

The changes are not being done by everyone, as people are having mixed results..

1. Mac the Knife's clutch basket

2. B44 Saddle pack conversion

3. sagging arms. New RPM replacments # 73962, and 73942

4. RC SHOX's Dual Garodisc

5. "pin" upgrade, see posts above

I'm sure I'm leaving stuff out, but for the most part that is what has been done to mine.

They have a suggestion on their site. http://theohiorcfactory.com/The_Ohio...tory/Home.html About half way down on the left side of the page. They suggest both front and rear AKA Grid Irons Super Soft for 4x4s.
