one question though. I have checked your web site and you have the blocks listed. you have the widths of the blocks do you have the total width of the car with certain blocks... (For ex. say if you put 1D on the back you are at 189mm and so on... etc..)
By the way any news on the 416 yet...

Regarding the track widths, it's something I haven't done. I have previosly measured the width of the blocks, and have the figures somewhere, so should be able to figure that out... will take me a while though, have a lot on over the next few weeks.

Now I have the 46mm axles, & am running the 1B & 1A blocks up front, & I also tried the 42mm axles, but they wouldn't even reach the outdrive cups at all, so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to deal with it?

Hi guys,
Just to let you know, yesterday I have partecipated to the second round of the BRCA mod nationals (ran in 5-cell mod). Qualified 15th and won the second leg of the final (after a mechanical failure of my 3.5T in the first leg) to finish 2nd in the B overall.
All the week end the car was fantastic, I will make an editable PDF of the MSXX setup sheet and post my setup.
EDIT : I have now attached a Jpeg version of the setup, anyone wanting a PDF PM me.
