Thanks a lot, feel better now, I know this question can sound a little bit strange but all the tracks around my area lack of grip (poor ozite or dusty asphalt), I had some hardtimes with the SD because of that, now with the flexy TC4 it's a lot easier to find grip but I need a sexier chassis

my LHS had the RS swaybar set for the SD... I'm assuming they will fit as well... Looks like they will..

How much is a center differential for the BD? I am guessing i have to buy one if i want my car to handle like it normally would with a front diff.

A fixed center pulley is coming and should be here before the Reedy Race.

dont cutoff the little ears on the bearing holders for both the front and rear (like i did)

also put the pulley on the correct side for the one way. (i guess it would have helped if i read the manual while i was building)

diff halves are the same as the SD. you can confirm on the parts list. same part # i believe.

If I remember correctly, EXCEL in Japan at one point made delrin outdrives for the SD. The price tag alone, drove me away. It was something like $25 a pair.
