What is shim size for the modded block?

I just dremeled the plastic blocks and used a 1mm shim on the outside so I could easily put normal blocks on if needed. The only issue I have with the mod is I prefer the 1dg hubs and you cannot go full narrow with them. (arm rubs the bulkhead).

Gotcha. Can you dremel the arms in that area?

MikeXray

Yes you can, I didn't want too though You can go as low as .5 on the rear block before it rubs.

I don't know if any of you have tried this but i milled the rear block down till it was the same width as the mounts in the front . If I. Remember right it was a little over a mm per side. I never liked the fact that they weren't square so I made it symmetrical . Of course this was before I changed to the exotek chassis and blocks which are already narrow compared to the stock xray

I measured it with verniers and then used a Dremel.

I then hand filed them and kept measuring with the verniers to make sure they were identical.

I ran a front gear diff for a while, filled with putty. At least in mod, I found it to be too inconsistent. By the end of the run it would be so much softer than at the beginning, it was like driving a different car.

They weren't supposed to be square on to the chassis to allow for the rear toe in.

I understand why it was done but when you wanted to run more rear toe or 1 deg rear hubs you were already at max legal width . Most people ran -.75 rear hexes to Narrow it up. If it would have been narrower this wouldn't have been a issue which it's really not because people find a way to make it work regardless.

What difference does the hagberg mod actually make to the car's handling/performance?

This mod makes the rear of the car quite a lot narrower which results in more turn-in and mid corner rotation. The car will be more aggressive and difficult to drive but faster for some conditions.

What he said

I haven't found a situation where it wasn't better (for me at least) so I haven't taken it off.
Mark, get some spare pivot blocks and try it.

Why not just use a narrower hex? Would it not be the same net result?
