Why you might ask? I have killed 4 spurs in a weekend running mod.

96 spur 23 pinion if you are dead set on running 64 pitch but I would recommend against it.

what brand 48p spur are you running ?

arrowmax ??

Arrowmax or xenon.

Update on this. I was out practicing yesterday and the center pulley bearing failed. The outer race and cage were missing. I think I may have gotten a bad bearing that lead to killing to many spurs. I will be adding this to my list of things to check. Never had an issue in my 4 years with AMX and they use the same center pulley bearing sizes.

Last weekend in tried thé softer springs for medium tot high grip asphalt (4.75F and 4.5R)and it makes thé car so fast and precies to drive that is tried alsof now a second screw in thé bottom Motormount in the back. And the second Topscrew. The car had a ton of Cornering-Speed . Every corner was able to win distance on thé other cars

Yes, I found softer springs work very well, so far the biggest changes I made on asphalt are 1.1mm swaybars front and rear, 4.75F/4.5R springs and cut off the little "bridge" in the front top deck

I have also the softer 1.1mm swaybar for in front to test next weekend. Cutting the front topdeck makes thé car little bit less precise i heard

It helps in high grip conditions, especially if you experiencing traction rolling over curbs

Castertools
 
I designed a traditionel tool to use with your setup tools to messure Caster at the Four Wheels at thé same time. It takes a minute to screw all four on and less than a minute to remove.

Rear body mounts
 
What’s everyone doing to get the rear of the body down ? With the stock body mounts the rear end is up high ? Is mugen making -2 or -3 body mounts for this car ? I guess the only way to adjust is not cut the bottom of the body until you have it mounted on the car . “Pita “.
