This is an interesting observation.
I am usually a front diff driver (mtx4) but I ran my RS09 for the first time on Sunday.
I was amazed at how predictable the tranistions were with the solid .. much better than I had expected. Although I was overshooting my off power apexs a little at first there was still more off power steering than I expected.
I have the front diff on order but am wondering now if it will be an improvement.
I have to say though ... what is that clutch all about!? I ended up ditching those pivoting shoes in favour of free floaters and the difference is night and day.
I am really looking forward to having a play around over the coming weeks.

Clutches.
I expected as much from those pivotting throwouts. Doesnt make sense to act against the radial force and pivot. I still think they need a good running in to loosen up the pivot hole a little.
Tell me guys, is the pinion offset on clutch bell still same (approx 4mm) and can we share clutch bells?
Back to using a UFO2 now SP?
SP, at some time your knowledge on clutches would be a good read matey.. Apart from droop blocks Im also thinking over heavy throwouts, heavy spring, hard clutch shoes and soft clutch shoes and how they behave and react.

We add a money race over the weekend,car was really good ran a front diff, although i felt i would be faster with a lock,just want to get use to running a diff.I ran a Picco Evo3 engine very fast motor insane bottom end power was able to run with Max,Sirio,Rbs without a lack in speed.Also tried out 1/8 evolva shocks.They have the short shock bodies for the front an long bodies for the rear. The car worked perfect you can use the kit springs from the G4RS or you can use springs from the RRR Evo or EVo2 not the Evolva they are to stiff.Will post setup soon.
I ran the Kyosho Evo WCE shock shafts and pistons on my G4+ Evo as recommended by Luis.

Hey BB
.Oh agian if your the only G4RS 09 at a big race this will help you when your in a jam, if blow or break a shock you know what works.Hope this helps you guys.I see some people trying to raise rollcenters leave car box setup.(Tires ,Shock &Shock oils,Springs,Droop,& Body) thats what i focus on the most.Learn the car before you do any major changes to the car, trust me im still learning the car too.

Guys,
Can someone help me out with my question? What kind of shims do I need to use under the front upper arm mounts to alter roll center? Also, although I think I have the shims for the rear lower arm mounts I just can't see how they're supposed to go on
