Your droop is entirely wrong - That droop screw should not be driven in that far.
Also you should set up travel with shocks disconnected to get the most accurate setting.

Nevermind.

The shocks were not connected when I set it the Volker way. I understand that it shouldn't be screwed in that much. That's why I'm asking how you are setting the uptravel.

Youre using the wrong screw then for uptravel.

The second picture showing the grub screw jacked all the way down is for droop.
Up travel is set by the grub screws in the front upper bumper brace and rear body posts.

Blue circle is droop screw
Red to the front is up travel

Team, I have a situation where I’m getting rubber from the belt caked up in my diff gear teeth.

Is this normal wear or is it indicative of some other issue? (Belt tension maybe?)

Do you have the gear diff install correctly. The belt pulley should be on left, drivers side of car.

Good info. I definitely got that part right.

Carbon chassis
 
Anyone tested a carbon chassis yet ? How does it feel on low and high traction ?

Hey guys, I'm currently building my MTC3 and I'm going to be running it on low grip asphalt. Does anyone know any shops in the states that has either 1.6 carbon or fiberglass top decks in stock?

I found them from Vigor at a shop is AUS but they won't ship to the states.

Thanks.

Interesting, when I tried to check out with them it said they don't deliver to my country.

I'm just concerned will all this tariff nonsense of something not getting delivered.

Australia Post temporarily suspended all shipments to the US because of the tariffs, they didn't have the infrastructure in place to collect tariffs for low value (<$800) packages. They should have resumed as of yesterday though, so try pinging Smokem to ask about the situation.
