Inserts
How would the blocks wear out. No problem offering the inserts by themselves, that makes since but I have three sets of the blocks that are useless.
You could list on your website that you need additional parts to make it work.
Not to mention the inserts are not $1, There $8 so you have to buy 4 different parts that total $44.
But I have figured a way to get the adjustment I want since I have an extra shock tower

Check your hub bearings. Also check your transmission bearings - someone had one blow out and I think he said he finished his race but the car was loud.

It's the piece that holds the rear hinge pins. Kit should have come with 2/3 of them. They are marked with antisquat and toe numbers I believe. 1 screw attaches it in the center. Read your manual. Good info in there!

They did the same thing with the alum Shock mounts. You need to buy the alum mounts and the plastic ball to make it work. BTW, I dont think Kyosho or TLR sell the inserts with the suspension holders. But yeah, there should be a note saying you will need the inserts, like they did with the front clamping hexes and axle. TLR and Kyosho like to bundle parts I dont want or need, so I dont really have an issue buying just what I want. Heck, If I could buy the left and right arms separately, like the xray, I would. lol. I did like that about the Kyosho, arms fir both sides front and back... Anyway, can the inserts be swapped out without removing the alum block? I was going to change my buggy from 3-2 to 2.5-2, but I have my chassis tape on and I dont want to cut up the chassis tape to get the screws out, lol.

I'm in the same boat Vito, I'm not sure about your case but I have enough arm left to hold the soldering iron or hold objects down with my arm.
The best quote I've ever heard....
"The only disability in life is a bad attitude"
If you have an "I can" attitude you will figure out a way to get it done.
It's tricky to get everything back there but is possible.
Just take your time.
The build goes very well.

Oh ya thats right. I tried to read about antisquat in the manual and I didn't see it reference what the changes do to the car.

From recently posted set up guide:
Anti-Squat
MoreMore anti-squat generally makes the rear of the car more sensitive to throttle input.*
The car has more steering while braking, and also a little more powering out of corners.*
On high-traction tracks, it may feel as if the car momentarily has more rear traction accellerating out of corners.*
A car with more anti-squat can also jump a little higher and further, and it will soak up bumps a little better, off-power.*
A lot of anti-squat (4° or more) can make the car spin out in turns, and make the rear end break loose when accellerating.LessLess anti-squat gives more rear traction while accellerating on a slippery or dusty track.*
It also gives more side-bite.*
Less anti-squat will make the car accellerate better and faster through bumpy sections.*
Very little anti-squat (0° or 1°) makes the rear end feel very stable. It also makes power sliding a lot easier.Note that anti-squat only works when you're accellerating or braking, it does absolutely nothing when you're coasting through turns.*
The harder you brake or accellerate, the bigger the effect of anti-squat is.

there's no substitute for paying attention...
Just to use A-Main Hobbies as an example;
Most, if not all their products, are listed with multiple images. Most, if not all those images include the product in it's manufacturers packaging.
You can discern very easily what's included - look at the package for crying out loud!
One can argue, or be critical of the fact that related parts should be sold together. However, I've witnessed the same individuals complain that they have to buy the entire "insert example here," to get the one part they need. Some cases it works in your favor and other cases not.
We've all elected to play the retail/hobby game, but almost two pages of complaining about it is a little excessive and unproductive no?

I was referring to these, not the new V2 style ones. It looks like the v2 ones come with inserts, you are correct.
