i forgot to add..
i am very impressed with the changes they made with the R3 vs. R2.
i did the exact same things i did with my R2 on the R3. and i had a hard time aligning the drivetrain for the R2 so that it spun freely.
on my first try with the R3... i got it to free spin about 3 times longer than my R2. showed it to steve last night..and even he was impressed with it.
i have to say the way the motor mount was designed helped a lot more. it acts as a third shaft holder. and with the "floating" motor mount.. alignment is much easier.

im pretty sure its the long silver one. but maybe i can put the short black on there. im assuming that'll help with more steering? also using the inner hole on the knuckle also right?

Did your kit come with the long silver ones? the kit I got had just the black in them so im going to try them saturday . and for the hole im using aluminum knuckles so there is only 1 hole which would be the outer hole on the stock one.

would using the inner hole give more steering?

This thread is over a year old so of course there are going to be lots of pages and their will be regular posters that like to have a chat. If you can't handle that then go elsewhere, I don't think you'll find as many knowledgable Cuda drivers in one place though so it's your loss.
It's our thread, we'll babble if we want to

correct the rack it self fits snug on the bushings filing some material off makes the rack glide back and forth better!
Hoping steve finds some bearings for the steering I see they have switched to them in japan already

Any reason for this, related to the filing I suppose? Thanks KO.

Is this roughly correct?
