roll centres what do they do? ie i have never put shims under the pivot blocks before (thinking of trying 1mm all round) are you supposed to put them under the pivot blocks ie the front and back ones but do you put them under all 4 pivot (blocks using 8 shims) or just under the ones that you can change???????

Hello, this year we run with foams or rubbers, in asphalt. The majority of drivers run with foams, i run with Surikan Edition, with excelent results in regionals and Nacional, but now the days are very hot and i feel the car more soft, with foams .
My question are, ¿Is the BMI chassis for asphalt, more rigid that the std? and ¿it changes to much the behavior?, ¿where can i buy one? in the web of BMI i do not see it.

Greetings.

I've broken mine twice now...second one broke about a week ago. Curious (and rather angry) I looked for the possible culprit for this. It appears that the diff spring gets bent with use and therefore applies uneven pressure to the plates and unwanted vibration to the screw = it snaps.

Gonna try a new spring from another company and see what happends.

I broke 7 diff screws in my first cyclone and zero in my 2nd. For minimal breakage use the Delrin outdrives the associated diff screws and nuts, and put a small washer in the outdirve before you put in the nut and you should have decent life out of them. There is a link somewhere where Hara shows the best way to build the diff. I also used all ceramics in my diffs and they were butter for 3 months till I sold my car.
