I've been running Specer Rivkin's set up on both the buggy and truggy with slight changes from track to track. So far by far the best setup for me. I even noticed that associated changed the mold on the upper arms. You used to have to cut a millimeter away. Now with the new design of arms you dont have that little dimple. Dremelling the sway bar in the rear arms are kind of a pain but its worth it.

ok I finally got some clarity with changing the upper arm positions. I called AE and they were helpful. If you don't understand Anti-drive or Anti-Squat, I started a thread called "tuning help" and they guys explain it well. Upper arm position: moving the arm out or in will affect Camber in the front. Raising or lowering affect roll center just like the lower arms. Moving the arm back or front affects caster. Changing the pin angle will affect anti-drive. A good app he suggested " RC Cheat Sheets" hope it helps

the drive pins are wearing out in the middle drive shaft can we replace just the pins or do we have to replace the hole shaft

I think the kit setup may be to soft for me. Yesterday I was having a big problem on this small sweeper with a little step down. Every time I would hit it the truck would become increadibly unsettled and want to roll. My front hinge pins are center top and bottom and the shocks were inside hole on the arm and middle on the tower. I moved the shock one hole down on the tower and it helped a ton but I still feel like it's still not correct. Any suggestions?

Any chance there will be a 3.1 in the near future?

If they make arms like the tekno strong then I buy this truggy

Has anyone installed the new diffs from the 3.1 into their T3? The new ring and pinion are 13/44 and the old ring and pinion are 10/46. The physical size difference of the pinion gear is staggering! The buggy pinion is easily 2x the size of the truggy pinion. My parts will be here tomorrow for the new diffs so I guess I'll see how it works. The only thing I'm not sure of is the performance difference in the gear ratio.
