I did the setup changes yesterday in my ebuggy(weren't enough nitros) and the car was great! Much easier to drive and tons of rear grip without losing steering.

Don't worry. I am looking for the parts TLR244036 and they are back ordered and out of stock everywhere.

Get the adi back plate its 29 shipped on their website. I ordered one. Its already setup with the peg that goes into the chassis too! Looks to be exactly the same as the hrc but already modified.

So, they are coming as new optional part? Many we don't have to modify? May I know the part number? Thanks

Will the old optional at the time 2.0 buggy adjustable hinge pin blocks work on the rear!? I swear its hrc, nothing written on it, if someone knows that'd be awesome, gunna try it out if that's the case.

Easy way you can tell is take the lrc off of your buggy and but it up against the old plate. If it matches its an lrc plate too.

the old 1.0/2.0 versions were HRC. so that should work fine. I used to do it on the 2.0 buggy to get more antisquat

Default PRO TIP FROM A PRIVATEER

For anyone who likes to run full droop on their buggies you may notice the spindle carrier touches the arm and can result in the spindle carrier cracking as shown in the last picture. The reason we run full droop is that we feel it gives the car more grip/traction on lower traction outdoor tracks.

So back to the issue. First off you will want to use a silver sharpie and trace where the caster block is touching the arm. Next take the spindle and carrier off of the arm. You will take a drum style dremel and dremel out the area at a 45 degree angle to the arm. Test fit, if the carrier is still touching take a little more material off. Put the carrier back on the arm and you should see space between the carrier and arm as pictured.

Hope this helps! I will be headed down to PNB this weekend, see you guys there!

Got the ADI plate and it fit perfect. The pills fit perfect as well just like the TLR LRC plate. It also has the tab that fits in the hole of the chassis. Thanks for the recomendation Maddog.
I also took out the droop screws on the rear for full droop and modified the front a-arms for the caster to clear. And thanks for that info Maddog. :-)
Can't try the new changes because our local track is being maintanace until the 15th.

No problem glad I could help! I will be trying the ADI back plate this weekend at PNB as well as the 0 hex in the rear. Hopefully it lives up to all the hype!
