BTW, has anyone ever put the tc3 bevel and ring gears in there SD. I thought someone said they did it on the ZX5. I stripped mine out and don't have an extras on hand. But I guess it doesn't matter since I can run my Stallion until they come in.

Any help? Any other METAL c clips fit?

I understand that is is mainly from tapping a board or something to that effect, so my driving needs to improve however there must be a better solution. This is my 3rd spool I have shreaded.

Kyosho America any help?

I remember changing the steering hub holes on my 05 xray when the car would traction roll, but I can't remember which hole did what and I can't seem to find my setup notes.

Also what would adding a shim under the steering hub hole do? And what about removing the spacer on the rack?

My problem is whenever the track becomes high grip, my car seems to scrub too much speed in the middle of the corner. If I stiffen the car up to make it roll less, it makes is worse and will traction roll (too stiff). So I end up softening the front springs, leaning the shocks in and lower the roll centers. Now it won't traction roll and handles better but it ends up getting slower.

The best thing I've found is to lower the roll center, but keep the stiffer spring on the front with shocks leaned in. I've tried about everything I can think of and the ackerman is the next adjustment. Because the car handles really good, but it just seems to scrub too much.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Anyways, my links are all long front and rear. Only using 1mm shim or none. Basically 1mm less than the kit setting. Ive also ran the kit settings at Trackside when it was hight bite and the car was really good except for the sweeper. I ended up with .5 degree rear toe, but was usually running 1 degree rear toe. I'll go back to 1 to get the forward bite. I've tried 3, but it seemed too tight, I like the car loose since I used to run foams. Short wheel base, because I like the turn in and steering it gives.

I'm 90% sure that changing the ackerman holes will cure the problem. But won't be back on high bite carpet for awhile. I'll report back when I do.
