yep, that is the only option I’ve considered. Ok cool. Anyway, think it might be worth considering just letting TLR know of this issue? All it would take is a slight resizing of the diff mount to fix this, maybe 2mm off that side, and it would be perfect. BecUse I know I’m not the only one with this issue.

Gents......anyone having issues with their throttle link not lining up straight with the carb?? Unfortunately, I’m deployed overseas, and can’t take a pic at this time. But I am almost certain I have everything installed right, and the center diff/servo mount only goes in one way, but it is “off-canter” to the servo link. And the throttle link not straight, and is pulling at an angle. Anyone else had this issue?? And if so, how did you fix?
The other idea is using engine shims I’ve seen some o n-road guys use to space up the engine a hair.

that’s actually not a bad idea. I might give that a try! Good call, thanks!

but that was part of the problem. When I originally built it, I had the 2mm shims in, and it had an even worse angle. So I had to take the shims out all together, and there is still an angle, even with no shims. If your moving from the throttle servo arm, to the carb ball link, there is about a 10-15 degree angle downwards still. I’ve been racking my brain looking st what else could be wrong, but the throttle servo still appears to be sitting too high, even with no shims.

OK, need your opinion(s). I have 2 new sets of 5mm x 45mm and 2 new sets of 5mm x 55mm titanium turnbuckles from another buggy and I was thinking of trying to make them work on my X and XE. Since the actual turnbuckles for the buggies are 4.5mm wide, do you guys think that I can possibly fit them in the stock rod ends without reaming them out a little. It would save me $60 for each set of X/XE specific Ti turnbuckles. Worth a try??

Looking at picking up a 8ight x any suggestions what option parts and spares to buy since most of my old parts won’t transfer over? Running a fairly bumpy and loose out door track. Thanks

I would suggest 20* castor blocks, universals for the front, violet, blue front and red rear evo springs. E buggy front tower has more camber link adjustments. Maybe some 8 hole pistons, some drivers like them over the 5 hole. I run the 8 hole MIP pistons.

I'm definitely having a hard time choosing between the MP10 and 8ight X. I am currently running a D817v2 that i grabbed on here used. I really want to build a new kit!!! decisions decisions
