At $1.99 each why not?

The front bar required a slight bend inward on each end. The rear works out of the package on the 713B arms BUT it is a little too narrow for the bulkhead so it doesn't float freely.

Theirs - not "there's".

I am running mine with the center section in the forward position and everything else is the same orientation as I had it on the old chassis.

10K front, 7K rear - but my car is set up for high traction carpet. I wouldn't run oil that heavy on dirt.

Center diff

When running the center diff can you still run balls front and rear or is it better to go gear diff all around?

None of us have ever run a center diff in a ZX6 - and since it isn't listed in the "new for March" parts we won't be running one til at least May (since the parts are never available in the month they say they will be).

I can't really think of a reason why you couldn't however.

I haven't seen to many setup sheets that say gear diff here and ball diff their or vice versa. It is my opinion, and mine alone, that you should go all gear for the differentials including the center. But feel free to experiment because you might stumble on to something.

Can anyone tell me if there's an aftermarket aluminum steering solution yet?

I have mine setup with 5k front and 3k rear. as for the center diff I just got a pm from Joe and he said they are still expecting a release date of mid-end of March. Hopefully its not to far off that.

I have tried a couple of different combinations I started out with 5k front and 3k rear. It was pretty good. Then I went to 7k front and 3k in the rear and with that you kind of had to stay in the throttle to keep the rear from snapping lose. I drove my friends and it had 5K front and 7K in the rear. That was just ok. So now I am trying 5K front and rear for my big race next weekend.

I run those at my home track. Rc Clubhouse. I am like 5 min from there. Traction is stupid in the beginning and kind of tapers off by the end of the night. its kind of weird.
