(rb6 x2, 22 2.0 and centro) easy to drive and i got my fasted lap times yet yesterday.

happy

Here's the kicker...he tried it at the exact same track that WC drives at. Did this setup ever get posted anywhere on here?

Mod...I would probably save the money and keep the standard bearings in there. For stock it can definitely be an improvement...so can just spraying out your bearings and lubing them with a thin oil.

Thank You! One other question. I purchased the low friction X rings only. Not the kit. Do I need the kit that has the black shock hat bushing i guess they call it. or is the ones that come in the b5m kit work with X rings. Thanks. Hope you kno what I mean

In WC's defense, he does not claim his setup will work everywhere. But at least his feedback is helping someone.

Tacompton .2 will be done soon and will include suggestions for other track surfaces.

Thanks for posting the info on the Lunsford titanium. I did not know their stuff was that strong.

I'm curious if color or sheen of the screws is any indicator of the grade? The Lunsford's are silver while all the others I have seen are a dull gray.
