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.

Typically, people who are getting money back file early so lot's of industries do release luxury items in January to grab at that money pie. People who owe tax money tend to wait until the last second to file.

Anyone have a good baseline high traction clay / carpet setup that would be a good place to start?

Thanks. I’ve seen most of those just didn’t know what everyone felt was a good starting point to use or the most popular. Thanks

Yokomo green front is slightly stiffer than AE white. It’s in between a white & gray

Protek rc diff orings for a Mugen mbx7r are an exact fit. I have been using them for the last few races with good results. Still aren’t leaking

Pick the one that most closely matches your track's description and go from there. Nobody can tell you what that should be without having been to your track.

Pick a setup and try it. Everyone is different so worrying about what other people do and like doesn't matter. The point is to make YOUR car easier to drive for YOU. You can try a bunch of different setups, and not feel comfortable with any of them. Or the first setup you try could be exactly what you want. Personally, I start with the kit setup, and make changes that make the car do what I want, after I have driven it to see how the car is working. I have been racing rc cars for a long time, so I have a really good idea of what should work. Even still, you won't know until you actually drive the car. Also, because many adjustments work together, if you are going to try a setup, it is important to put every adjustment exactly how it is called for on the setup sheet. But, often times pro drivers are running prototype parts. Stuff they can't tell you on a setup sheet. So what they put on a setup sheet could be different from what they are actually running. It could be exactly what they are running, but some prototype parts could be the key to making that setup work.

Also, carpet and clay are so different, that a single setup will not work well on both surfaces. Yeah you could put the right tires on your car for either surface and get around the track, but there is no way you will be on pace.
