Try Ackerman plates.
BtW- Ran My CE for the first time in awhile on medium bite clay. Added the Xray brass hangers. They worked great. No more issues with grip. I previously had about 30 grams under the transmission, but got rid of that and added these that I expect to be about 40 grams. The hangers worked twice as well. To compensate and running a battery that is 50 grams lighter. I did notice the buggy is jumping flat and sometimes a little nose high to where I want to hit the brake I the air a bit I the larger jumps. The CE had this tendency before but seems a little more pronounced. Anyone had this problem and fixed it? Running 32.5/30 oil with 2 hole 1.6 and 1.7 pistons 2 dot 2 dot sprigs fr/rr with 2 degrees anti squat. Anyone combat this problem succesfully without adding a 40 gram brass arm holder in the front? Thx

On ECS, they will take away any mechanical bind in the rear drivetrain. This will "take away" traction. There is a lot of this information on multiple threads. They are referred to as universals by other manufacturers.
CVD - Most bind
CVA - standard
ECS/Universal - least bind

Most manufacturers have ditched any new development towards purpose built rear motor drive cars because the sales aren't there.
If you really want a rear motor car, the b5 rear motor is quite good and can be found new for $180 (I've driven a couple) and the VBC RM looks pretty cool and can be found for around $200 plus shipping new.

xray showed Rear Motor-option on this car, said conversion was in work in another thread just few months back
kyosho new 6.6 car comes with 4 gear box options in one kit, includes rear motor
durango car is multi gear option like kyosho
associated may or not add a rear option new B6 if demand is there. B5-rear still is best on our loose, wet to dry, rut track. B5r now shows discont on many sites

there was a comment also about xray not being able to do rear motor due to a patent infring issue with another maker. rear motor has been out since like day 1....don't see how anyone could hold a patent on it

Anyone else having issues with the shocks gaining pack as the race goes on? I have been running the DE for about 8 weeks now and it seems like the shocks are gaining pack, or maybe air is getting into the shocks some how. I have never noticed this on other buggies i have owned, am i missing a simple step in building them? or do i just need to change the orings/shock oil more often? I have been changing the shock oil once every race day.

So I was just about to pull the trigger on getting one (or both) of these cars, but after reading through this thread I am hesitating.
Is it just me, or are most of you having to do a lot of work on these cars to get them to operate correctly?
In other words, if I was to get one and build the box stock set up, would I be at a disadvantage compared to other makes and models?
