I'm using the 100ss and it works perfect.

I had the 100ss and it wouldn't go on by just pushing it I had to screw it on to get it all the way.

Basically you use the 1mm blue AE ballstud washer between the bearings in the akerman rack. you have to ream out the hole between the two bearings enough to allow the washer to fit. it was a 5 min mod.

For anyone who is interested in the alloy rack; I just received mine from Amain today and it looks like there are two 1mm crush washers included with my rack........I looked at some pics of packaged racks online and saw no such washers, so perhaps AE has included them to correct the issues. I haven't installed the rack yet so I can't verify for sure, but the washers are clearly unique to the aluminum rack.

Wondering about the Schelle (or Avid) 66 tooth spur for stock(this question is right in your wheelhouse Matt Trimmings). Would moving the motor forward help, not help, handling difference for the new buggy... and would the motor actually slide forward enough to mesh? Seems I bought one for my B4 a long time ago but had to gear it taller than I liked just to get it to mesh and went back to a 69.

Forgot to also ask what's the story with the 64 pitch, 88 tooth spur they have listed? Thanks for any insight.
