+1 I have the antenna stuffed in the receiver box along with the transponder on both my cars. Never had any problems.

There are better hangers. "Spring Thing" from GMK supply (part#GMKSPRING) is one and Mugen (part# MUGE0903) makes a nice one too. Both have a spring wound into the hanger. You may need to slightly enlarge the hole in the hanger mount. I use those in all my cars now. *side note- a single 4mm screw securing the exhaust hanger mount to the chassis is far superior to two 3mm screws in terms of ease of installation

Pic shows the TKI4 arms on my TKI3 and outer Hinge Pins you need, IFW458.

You need to reverse the Pills in the A & B Hinge Pin holders, so they're in their 'inner' setting (as arms are 2mm longer).

I was not aware of a different outer hinge pin was needed on the new arms. Why is that?

Thanks Tobamiester. If I have the 93mm shafts up front. Is it still needed to reverse the pills? Are you still running the 91mm shafts upfront?

Oh yeah forgot to mention that. I have 93mm shafts on mine, per the TKI4. 91mm should be fine also providing you run the Pill inboard (only).

So with the 93s you can run the pills in any configuration. Without getting in the danger zone of the drive pin/ diff cups? With the 91s you must run inboard only correct? I have yet to get mine on the track. But the way I drive this is a worthwhile upgrade LOL. Although my kid has hammered his mp9e tki3 plenty hard quite a few times now. And has yet to break anything. Knock on wood hard! I also got the new air filter setup coming. Then I'm gonna be done with the upgrades. The others upgrades just seem to be small refinements. On a already great chassis that I am far from pushing to its limits. But I do like finishing the race.

Also Toby how are you running your pills with the 93s? And if you have been able to run it. what effect on steering/setup/handling have you noticed if you are running it full width?

Are you using tki3's steering knuckle and C-hub with the tki4 arm?
