So I started my build last night. I got the diffs together and the front & rear felt fine (like new diffs). The center though, felt bad! While turning the outdrive by hand there is one spot that is pretty bad and needs to be forced to move past.I know the O.S. Speed will never notice it and it will probably break in after awhile but it seems like there is something not aligned correctly.

I got the sme problem as well on the center diff cup , I push the cross pin in Forced . front and rear are okay.

Hello all, in regards to the kick up blocks. I am almost certain this is how it works.
0 degree block is the most kick up. Option
.70 block D819
1.4 block. D817
2.8 block Option.
The more kick up a buggy has you will lose off power steering as you are creating more arm angle. I do understand the kick up basics but that's the way I am deciphering the blocks. That listing is from most kick to the least . I feel the new block is a good middle of the road setting.

I think you have it backwards, the 0 degree block has the least kick up, can someone confirm?

i was looking at the blocks last night and when I lined them up, it does appear the more dots, the less kickup. You guys might be right.

All, the kick up is not hard to figure out. This is on any vehicle ie HB,Kyosho, Losi, etc.
It is all about pin placement. The lower the hole is on the B block the more kick up you will be adding to the car. I have always run the 1.4 block on my D8v2. I have the 0 block but have never actually put it on. When the tracks get rough I would just go max kick on the pills in the A block and my car is great. Talking to some others on the team they have mentioned when it is rough that the 0 block is the way to go but it does make the steering a little numb.
Too me this would make sense that Hb came out with a .70 block, split the difference. Good bump handling while keeping the steering sharp.
