To clarify, do the Mugen front universals work on the front and rear of the D815? Or do you use the Mugen rears on the rear of the D815?

Mugen front unis work on the front just fine, but on the rear they require either a spacer for the D815 rear bearing, or D812 rear hubs.

No you have to use 812 knuckles.......if ur running the stock #3 plates on d815 the 812 knuckle camber link locations are in the same place minus the shortest location, but I don't like the shortest link anyway. M2c has a bushing that I believe reduces the rear inner bearing size......if that works I'm not sure what universal u need to use. Cause 815 cvd's are different length front to back! (Maybe Mugen rears would work). Not sure

I was in the garage earlier and decided to do my own comparison of camber link positions on the D815 hub with the #3 plate vs D812 hub. The middle hole on the #3 plate is the same as the upper inner on the D812 hub. The inner hole on the #3 plate does not exist on the D812 hub as I think most of us know. Now the outer hole on the #3 plate is actually not as far out as the outer hole on the D812 hub. I would guess the outer hole on the #3 plate is 1 - 1.5 mm closer to the tower than the outer hole on the D812 hub is.

Yes those are Kyosho Blues, They are 1 step heavier than our stock blue
Thanks for the #3 plate vs d812 info

Fellas ran car yesterday with unis all the way around, This is what I think I experienced yesterday ! Now I could be wrong. But I think I gained a little corner speed and also over all just a tad more traction! Car was awesome to drive........still needs someone to run unis and cvd back to back and time both in same conditions to conclude what's faster! But as of now they are staying on!!

Nice dude. I know you said the drivetrain is smooth with the universals, but wad it smoother that with the cvd's?
@Trin- the screw holding on the shock pin is Kyosho-esq. That's how the TKI3's front hubs' lower hinge pins are held in. .. just looks a little cleaner since it was part off the original design LoL
@Gavel- agreed. Factory universals for the D815 hubs would be nice. However, the maintenence on the rear cvd's is much less than the fronts since the boot lasts a lot longer so universals may not be necessary for maintenence reasons. I don't know what effect universals in the front and cvd's in the rear would have. I'm pretty sure the longer rear axles on the D815 were supposed to be better than the shorter D812 length ones.
