also, i measured a front bulkhead, and the upper and lower flanges are only 2mm and 3mm thick. could you mean 0.4mm?

Hey M7H.. forgot to told you. The Centax II is working like a champ in my Vector.. it has larger bearing and holds up the stress very well.. I have not experienced thrust failure anymore. You and another guy helped me to install it on the Vector a few months ago
We are waiting your teaching how to fit this gearbox on Vector Have luck!

It is mentioned you should use a different shaft, it is because the 2nd gear from the LC gear box is thicker than the one from the vector. This way the hole in the shaft which holds the 3mm pin, is in the wrong location.....
It is probably this shaft you should order:

I am going to try to mount the LC gearbox in my Vector on an old 950 shaft.

I'll put on an order with these parts
Thank you Solara for the help. Really appreciate
M7H don't forget to tell us your experience installing the gearbox

Its the same bulkhead that comes on the 07 car, i just know when you mount it the lowest its 4mm lower than the original car. And i was refering to the option chassis, when i was saying to remove the material around were the the front graphite plate mounts, i dont have a camera rite now so i cant post a pic. Hope this helps!

Does anyone know if this bodyshell is EFRA legal [URL="http://http://www.redrc.net/?s=rony"]. Have tried the EFRA website but cant seem to find it there.
Thanks in advance.

I'm a little confused here, the new lowered suspension arms raise the car's roll center. (to raise the front roll center you lower the top inner pivot point).
Which from the manual states a higher roll center (which is lowering the suspension arm).
- Decreases on-throttle steering
- increases car's responsiveness
- Increases weight transfer at front of car, but decreases grip
- Use in high-grip conditions to avoid traction rolling
- Better on trcks with quick direction changes (chicanes)
However, if you shim the suspension arm higher, you're lowering the front roll center which offers these effects.
- Increases on-throttle steering
- Decreases car's responsiveness
- Decreases weight transfer at front of car, but increases grip
- increases chassis roll
- better on smooth, high-traction tracks with long fast corners
So to get more steering wouldn't you raise the inner suspension pin?

Essentially yes you would, but thats the OVERALL feeling.
As the pivot pin becomes lower and lower, it increases the steering responsiveness, which gives you that feeling of increased steering. Although it does take away more grip mid corner and corner exit, it makes for a much easier to drive car.
As the pivot pin increases in height, the response rate decreases, which would give it that initial push feeling.
These are my findings, hope it helps!

The Vector axle is this one:

You can see that the drive/brake pulley is not secured with a grubscrew, but hold by a square "pin" on the axle...

Also see this exploded view:

So I think you also need to order this part with the new axle:

Hey Nigel, I believe I see your point, and it's likely why I compensate with heavier oil, which brings back responsiveness and initial turn-in.
