All SD owners: Need you guys advise. If I'm mounting the servo horizontally on my SSG SD, must I align the servo horn at 12 o'clock position or to provide 2-3 deg. off set just like the TC3 /Rayspeed SD???

Kilruf: I have a couple questions about your setup.
First, on the setup you say you're running the top mounted swaybar up front. How does it fit? Isn't the front shock tower too wide, or are you puting the swaybar over the shock tower?
Also: I noticed Masami also runs the top mounted bar. What's the advantage to upper mounting rather than lower mounting? I run on carpet, would an upper mounted sway bar be better for me too? What are the differences in handling?
Thanks.

I broke both the Knuckle and the C Hub... I'm seriously considering taking the C Hubs to a machine shop and seeing if they can duplicate a set of aluminum one's for me... In the srping I have a CNC mill coming to me, but I really don't want to wait... One good thing I am getting for the mill is a probe which will allow me to make exact copies of parts. I've already got a delrin and nylon supplier setup...

Aluminum parts
The major part with aluminum parts is this. You make one part stronger, then something else has to give, maybe a arm, a suspension mount, or even possibly the chassis. I think that with the suzuki spindles, graphite parts(arms and cases), and aluminum suspension mounts, I think it would be sufficent enough.
Also aluminum does bend! If you are breaking c-hubs that much you are crashing to much. Now imaging this, if you think you have tweak problems now, try setting tweak with a bent c-hub, arm, arm mount, spindle, or whatever else made of aluminum. It will drive you nuts. Take it from experience(my own).
So, my belief is that the less aluminum the better.

Dickem, I haven't really tried a oneway with that setup. The track was wet, so I had the take the oneway out. Then it dried out and the traction came back. But I kept the diff in and worked with the setup.
Cool, the upper swaybar will work depending on how far the shocks are mounted out. I'd prefer the lower swaybar for carpet.
