That's about what I told him....3.7 Darkside, quit asking me for gearing advise when you are only going to second guess me on the forums!

No more setup advise either!

Lol, isn't it annoying when people do that? Anyway, good luck with your gearing.

The black ball studs have a shorter neck on them. Whereas, the silver ball studs have a taller neck on them.

See how tall the top of the ball head is on the silver when compared to the black one.

Did U know that there are more than 600 pages on this thread? I already did a search on it but not much specific came up. I saw a few online shop selling the Factory Team version for $80 less than the Rubber version. I wanted to know the differences before picking one up. If you're not going to help, then keep it to yourself.

Don't forget springs.

I have seen up three different kits for sale on the web.

30103 Factory Team TC5 Kit, 4WD dual belt-drive system (not in current production) ,
30104 FT TC5F Foam Tire Edition 4WD Touring Car Kit
30105 FT TC5R Rubber Tire Edition 4WD Touring Car Kit

See the attachment and did I miss anything?
