You need the new bearing caps too, they're different.

Just out of curiosity has anyone used the rsd 3mm or 4mm lowered shock towers with short shocks might go that way to try out the ss craze to save almost a hundred bucks

Never mind on the site it's for the thickness I thought one was lower than the other

I ended up up reaming out the holes in upper deck very slightly. Also discovered some of the bolts which came with kit to bolt the bulkheads to chassis had heads that were not very true. When they would tighten up in the chassis they wanted to pull the bulkhead ever so slightly to one direction or another. Now it feels like all the tweak is gone.

alright running a tc7 17.5 box stock med/high grip asphalt went from blue fronts to grey front springs using rush 32x tires. The steering was too twitchy and over steering adjusted some exp in but didn't do much. Probably going to put the blue front springs back on. I glued the fronts on the inside half of the tire rears full coverage. Rear end stepped out at times but seems like it can controlled by making adj to the front of the car. What do you think?

If it's medium to high grip, you may want to run harder tires. The 36 tires work great! Too much grip will likely make the car feel twitchy.

Ran the car this weekend and it was a learning curve for the driver. The car is faster than the driver but I will catch it. Ran it box stock and it was twitchy in the corners. We run on the new CRC black carpet.
I was thinking about gluing the front tires and maybe going from 3000 to 6000 in gear diff?
Also asked this earlier with no answer, does anyone use a servo saver and which one?
I busted a expensive futaba 571 on a not very hard crash.

Thanks and God Bless

The XRAY xhard is the go to servo saver.... new CRC carpet... glue all the way and aluminum chassis plus possiblythe short shocks.....

I run 7k, some I know run higher than that. You'll need yoko blue and pink springs and thicker sway bars, glue front tires, change roll center and yea aluminum chassis. run the front end wide and go 2.5 deg toe out back. run as low as you can without rubbing on the carpet, 1deg shims all around and 1.5 mm for kickup

stock setup is for asphalt. def get the xray servo saver, that's a must

try one change at a time...the box setup is fine for carpet as well...even black CRC...but start with gluing the fronts and then the rears....

If the aluminum chassis is in your sights, I would pick that up next...and increase ride hight to about 5.5 depending on layout....

and if servo saver is needed...look at the AE servo saver...Ive run these for years and they hold up very well...

try these things first before making alot of changes all at one time

The bulkhead A/B caps move the towers farther out. I have a set of towers that produce the same shock height but fit on the old caps, the car is better on the new caps.

I tried two screws on the original 7.0 towers/long shocks with the new caps on a bumpy track this last weekend, it was really good but decided to go back to full 7.1/SMJ. I don't think we're going to find the old setup being faster anywhere if this track didn't show it.

curious why certain racers run the SMJ's
