I see a number of people talking about aftermarket steering racks. Any other changes recommended out of the box to start on the 2015?

I bought the aluminium steering rack, V2 0* hubs, as well as aluminium RF and RR suspension holders so I could adjust toe and track width. Other than that I put 2x1.6 with 35 in the front and 2x1.7's in the rear with 30 and the car is very good on medium bite clay as well as high bite topsoil.

Have a bunch of the 2 hole rear arms. Instead of buying the new 3 hole does anyone have a pic of a 3 hole mod arm? Just want to make sure I'm drilling in correct spot.

Also when I bought my car used it came with lots of spares. It has a gear diff right now. It also came with the MIP 17.5 setup. What's the diff between it and a mod? Can I use the 17.5 with my 7.5 motor or is it 17.5 only?

Measure the distance between the 2 holes you have and go that same distance center of the arm.

The 17.5 setup is all aluminum. Your slipper setting will be critical to make it last. I set mine the way Tebo does on youtube. 1-2 inches of front end lift when you grab the throttle. I might back off from that with all aluminum drivetrain and keep a close eye on it.

Preciate the help.
So the 3rd hole will be drilled closer to the out drive instead of the wheelside?
I can use the 17.5 with my 7.5 as long as I keep and eye on it since it's all aluminum. I may just take the MIP out drives out and put standard in then I would really have to worry since I would be pretty much stock besides the MIP diff

Thanks for lookinf that up...what was the effect of the rack? Did it make the steering more responsive?

Yes the 3rd hole is inboard tward the ourdrive.

And maybe......
My MIP ball diff didn't jive with the stock ball diff. Might have to replace the whole unit.

like i said i was running my rack on top of those 1mm shims so after getting rid of those the car seems to be less agressive when u are turning with the nose compressed. it helped my bump steer that stablizer didnt really do much except make the steering more consistant and the car seems to track more straight

Saw that one but didn't like 4 screws and 2 different tools. It's just screwed to the waterfall tabs and a backwards battery brace. Get a sheet of whatever and cut one out.

Thanks all

Just trying to find a easy way to make the side way work and I see I need to get some side foam for each side of the pack to fill up the extra space.

What is the easies way to have a top battery brace? I just got it Friday.

And yes the 4 screws is a pain I see now.
Again thank you
And I love the shock package on this kit.
