Charts for Quick reference:

















1) put inner bearing in hub
2) slide large shim over axle all the way up to the back of the axle
3) slide axle/bone into hub carrier
4) slide small shim onto axle through hub carrier
5) push outter bearing into hub carrier

using that i'm able to put my normal male silverback gorilla wheel nut tightening job and there's no binding. in the pictures that come with the shims (the pic socket posted) it seems like they want you to slide both shims onto the axle before sliding the axle into the hub carrier and like i said, that doesn't work.



I've traditionally done the diff screw head on the left side (driver's side), but have since switched to the Right side (passenger side) regardless of transmission type (3 gear RM vs 3 gear MM and 4 gear MM).

Kdub (Kurt Wenger, former AE designer) had this to say on the matter:

The right rear is the way the AE manuals state (or used to state). It really shouldn't matter since you go around turns both left and right.

Stock setting would be center on both. As long as both C & D inserts are in the same orientation you have 3 degrees toe and 1 degree anti squat.

There is no right or wrong. It depends on what settings you want on your car. That is why they make it adjustable so you can do whatever you want,.

Need help ..... rear left tire breaks loose after landing a triple-double jump ..then punching to enter a left turn sweeper. Running a gear diff(4K) and rear shocks with 27.5 wt (Kyosho green springs) and front 30wt (grey springs) . It only happens on that spot all the time.
It won't happen if I coast the sweeper (after landing) a little bit and straighten up the front end then punch. I feel like I'm loosing a lot of time by doing this.

Suggestions?

Our track is also high traction and i found that 7K in the gear diff is just right you may want to give that a try.

That rear block that has the sway bar mounts, for those getting this in an alloy how are you liking it as far as it adding weight to the rear end?

Are you running narrow rear pivots or maybe narrow pivots in conjunction with the CV spacers?

What pills are you running in the c&d block? If running an inside pin location it could be moving the axle too far into the outdrive. You would have to move the pin back out.

That would be my issue then thank you. Actually decided to pull the washers out of the outdrives and this fixed the issue also
