I haven't seen anyone ask and I was curious, but will bodies cut/drilled for the 10R5 drop directly onto the 10R5.1, or have the posts moved?

Front holes are the same rear are different, but can be redrilled

Adrain, the tires we got at the champs were not like that, no step

I just looked through my oval stuff (all my WGT tires are Jacos..), and all of my BSR rears have the step in them, including the capped tires. I also looked at the rear hub on my 10R5O and the flange on its left hub looks just as short as the one in your pic, Adrian. I've never noticed the rear tires on my oval car wobbling or being out of round once mounted up, though.

I know...it's weird but I can put the BSR wheel on the hub and it knocks around the center flange. The Jacos locate on the flange but the BSR's do not.

My Jacos spin true on the car. My BSR's spin true on the tire truer but wobble badly on the car.

I got the chance to run my wgt last week, it's off to a good start, can't wait to get out again this weekend Il post my setup next week, going in a little different direction from Walt and Maybell just to have another option.

I ran mine last Wednesday. I am gradually drifting away from the kit setup too.

The softer I make the rear the better it seems to get around the track. It seems to make the car rotate better mid corner and exiting without losing any steering.

I am running:

.018" SpeedMerchant Linear rear side springs, touching +2 turns then tweak, with Red Medium Spooge (Going to try Green Light Spooge)
30wt in the center shock with a Blue AE spring (Going to try 27.5wt with Silver and Gold Springs next)
.020" Front Springs with Blue Heavy Spooge (Going to try .018's again)
Inline axles

So far everything I have done has yielded faster lap times and a car that was easier to drive. The fastest lap Wednesday was one 8.4. I had a few 8.5's.

I have modified my car with the long top arm, Initially made a brace with standoffs but found this was quite a bulky item so making a carbon one same as on the 1/12th .
In case any one interested in doing the same sizes are.

2mm thick
80mm long
4.40 mm wide
2.02 holes
73.50 mm hole centre

if wanting to use this on a standard car add 4mm to hole centre 77.50mm.HTH

Guys, ran my new WGT for the first time this weekend, and I was really impressed with it. I ran the stock setup, and I was able to lay down the second fasted lap in the a-main with it (well, technically 3rd, but only by 0.001 of a second!). For a first time out, it was great!

I do have one question regarding the diff - I was unable to use the plastic diff nut to secure the diff - it would not thread on, since the threaded part of the axle just wasn't long enough. I ended up taking the aluminum nut off my 10r5, removing one of the diff washers, and using the nut backwards. It held all weekend, but I'm confused as to why I couldn't use the plastic nut.

Anyone else have any issues with the diff build? I haven't compared the two axles, but I will this week.

Other than this one issue, the build was flawless. I know that I had a lot of people wander by my pit table over the weekend, and fondle the car I'm sure there will be a few more sales as a result...

I had the same issue with the short threaded sub on the axle and I inverted an allow nut just like you did. It is not perfect but it works fine so I am not sweating it.

Can't you use the "old" axle from the 10R5 or 12R5??
Hasn't got that one enough thread on it?
I never has any issues with the axles on my 10R5 or 12R5.
