Normally Marc is use the inner hole (longest links) in front and rear but at the last ets he used the outer hole (short links).
with short links u raise a bit the rollcenter, so you have a bit less chassis roll. u have more camber gain, too.

See below.
I find the car has lots of "nose" steering already, so in a higher traction track where cars start rolling over, having a car that pushes isn't necessarily a bad thing. The Anti-dive I have found never really effects the turning of the car, but it does help settle the back of the car down.
For a Mod car, I would consider a wheel base change and probably drop a few of the inner spacers depending on the track layout and how tight it is.
All shocks are set for zero rebound, shock caps drilled, Tamiya bladders. The oil used helped settle the front wheels down, in this case, this is what the car seemed to want for the spring/oil combination, all about the feel of the car to me. If thats what your asking.
This works? I see, u are using Anti-Dive which will result in less steering in combination with such high camber links. pretty sure, you gain positive camber while cornering with a low CG which results in a massive rolling car. normally, your car will push all the way.
Can you explain what changed with the higher viscosity in the front shocks?

ARC pulley's and differential!
Spool and diff are direct fit but the 19T shaft pulley's have to be modified they are to wide and the hole for the pin is too shallow.
Diff housing and o-rings from ARC internals and out drives Serpent, 0% leaking and smooth action!
Hole thing works really good

Steve, I should have got you to try my car(s) out, not sure why, but every person that runs mine says it has fast turn in. I would love to try yours one time to see the difference. Can't argue with you since your winning the races.
It will be interesting to see how different the setups are.

We should definitely swap cars. I plan to be out in Regina, but probably not Victoria.
I was pretty happy with the car. I was glad the back end was planted on the low-grip rug, but I felt like I could have gotten through the middle section a little faster with a bit more front grip. Not a serious problem obviously, just chasing that last 0.1s

I did it more for a practical reason then performance wise.
- I can easily spot dirt/rubber that got caught in the teeth
- the plastic is harder so it's harder to over tighten the screws on the diff
- Don't need to use Phillips driver on the diff screws, now I use 1.5mm hex driver. You can't just use this screws on the original diff housing since the thread is smaller and the plastic is not so hard and you over tighten it easily
- I can write on the diff housing with a pen the oil weight
And it really does run a little smoother then the original parts since the surface is harder and smoother.

As far as I know there is no difference on the mounting to chassie and top plate on the V3 motormount compared to the monomotormount that first came out as optionpart. I have used that on my S411 in the past. I would imagine it fits like a glove :-)

Ditto, welcome back. It will fit with no issues, and seems to be the prefered mount now, also saves on spur gears if your running really flexi setups.
