If I recall correctly, an 88-90 will not work, cannot move the motor back far enough. I typically use a 96 for stock class, will make that range fine. The Xray spur gear is off-set, so makes it possible to mount the fan to the layshaft (using the Xray fan mount kit), if you don't use the off-set spur, it will rub on the bolt head.

However the Xray fan mount (we are talking about #306410-O, right?) fits with my Axon (non-offset) spur gear just fine - nothing rubs anywhere (nothing's even close to)... - on my '17 that is. Didn't get to build the '18 yet, but I cannot imagine the positions being that much different as to have any effect on the '18 - after all the screw and the spur are more than 5mm apart on the '17 (it's on the other side of the rear belt)...

So, yes while no-offset spurs may not work with some individually chosen way to mount a motor fan, it does not present any problem at all, when putting said fan mount where it "belongs".

First off, I want to say that I generally love my T4 18 and find it easy to work on and drive....
However, I'm surprised there aren't any reports of xray drive shafts coming apart in this thread. I've personally had both the front double jointed universal and the rear universal fail. The grub screw even when built according to the instructions with threadlock comes loose easily causing the pins to slip out and damage c-hubs and rear uprights. Without fail, everyone I know with a T4 18 has had one or more drive shaft failures.
How can the universals be built so this doesn't happen?

Put some thin heatshrink over the joint. I do this to the fronts and the rears

Tips:
Clean the grub screws and barells with brake cleaner.
Use loctite 243.
Thread the grub screw most of the way in before putting grease on anything.
Use a good Allen driver.
Make sure the grub screw is on the flat of the pin.
Do them up really fucking tight. However tight you're doing them now? Twice as tight as that. You should feel like something's gonna snap if you wrench it any harder. This is probably the key bit.

Hi guys.
The downloadable set up sheet from xray web site for basic asphalt says to use 1mm low pin position FF and FR. The instruction book says to use middle position FF and FR. Which should I use.
Thank you in advance.
