Are you sure he didn't tell you that the thrust balls are a smaller diameter then the diff balls?

It was the washers but I'm gonna ignore that for now & move on with the build. :tire:

Hmm, sounds interesting as I only race carpet during the winter.
If I would try that, what do I need?
Rear arms&hubs? (+what you wrote above for the shock mounting)

Don't change the hubs, stick with the B6 hubs.

Has anyone had issue getting screws into hard arms for rear shock? I stripped out two screws, finally got one in all the way and the other I had to add one plastic spacer to keep shock from jiggling. What's trick here, anyone drilling pilot hole?

when you say stripped out screws, do you mean the head of the screw or the plastic you are threading into?

if its the head of the bolt you probably have a rounded off tip on your allen driver and either need to replace it or cut a bit off to square it off again. You can also look at tapping the hole before you try and thread the bolt in or use a cap head screw instead of a button head since they have are a lot harder to strip out,

Are you using a good, quality driver? If you’re using those little black Allen keys that’s probably your problem.

I’m a fan of MIP drivers. I have their hand tools, and the speed drivers I use with an electric driver.

Any of you guys that run on carpet use show tower protectors? My new track is requesting them and I don’t see any to buy. I assume you have to make some,would like to see some pics

Check out shapeways. There's a few options there, I think.

Thanks in advance.

The shock has lots of compression and little rebound so looks good to me.

You can try tapping the hole first. I used this when building my kit seemed to help :)

Ah no clue my shocks are the same lol. I am not sure one could tell the differences. Most of the shock building videos I have seen on youtube have little rebound so yeah

If you were able to get rid of all rebound when the shock was off the car, the heat built up in the oil during a race would cause rebound again.
Or the quick answer, its nothing to worry about. It looks pretty good. Try to build each shock with similar rebound and you’re good to go.

Hi,once the other shock on that end of the car has the same rebound you should be ok.one thing i did notice was when you bled the shock the second time you pointed the bleed screw downwards.this would cause air to be trapped in the top of the shock.maybe try bleeding the shock again with the bleed screw up.also sometimes i need to bleed the shocks 3 or more times.just a suggestion
