Thanks for the advice Korey. I've got a heap of alloy parts coming through Customs at the moment so hopefully they will solve the problem. If not, all I can do is assume that the holes in the chassis plate have been mis-drilled and either replace the chassis plate or ream out the mounting holes for the front pivot block so that I can adjust it sideways and equalise the toe-in.
Is anybody else aware of a problem with mis-drilled chassis plates ?

Now we have the option parts called "Low gear unit" that allow you to use bigger spur gear for the brush less motor.
#61298 Low Gear Unit (Black)
#61329 Low Gear Unit (Purple)
#61360 Low Gear unit (Blue)
when you use these units, you will be able to have smoother drive train too,due to the less angle belt mounts. Even if you're not brush less system user, these parts are still good for you guys.
in addition, we will soon have 18T drive pulley that is 2 tooth bigger than the original one. This will make the drive train way more free!!

I have question on this set up for the rear, "the long camber link set
Camber Link Position: long with 1.5mm under the inner pivot, and 1mm on the outer pivot." The rear hub carrier has 2 positions, using the positon (inside wheel) to make the longest link possible won't it rub with the wheel rim??

I think what I said was misleading... It's basically just the kit link setup, but with the 1mm under the ballstud on the rear hub carrier. We were running Jaco Blues at the reedy race, and they have the edge of the wheel that is very rounded, so there is plenty of room for the ballcup.

Without compressing them a bit to get the airgap out... it's 63mm. When compressing a bit.. it's roughly 61.
