Definitely right (spur) side when using an XFactor at least as that motor is end bell heavy. That is what Sam does.

The shop is correct. The gear diff uses custom spur gears and there are only 2 available, both 48dp. Martin is also correct, the gear diff will not fit the E5 as it will make the rear far too wide....

That one I can't answer I'm afraid. Sam was running the new damper rods at the BRCA National last weekend though and they are definitely easier to fill. No difference in feel either.

A prototype car has been used in the UK for the last season and has won several championships. I have no idea when it will go into production though.

The alloy pivot gives the option of running the pivot 0.5mm lower, good on really high grip but we run it like that everywhere. That is the only major option we use. It is worth having the 1 degree...

We use thin double sided carpet tape under the battery, replacing every battery change. That stops the battery from moving. Only a small strip is required.

Remember, Andy and the rest of the design team have had the unenviable task of improving on a car that has just won two World Championships! Not an easy thing to do. I think he's done a pretty good...

I decided to look at this on our Icon. I can make the LiPo stops the same as in the photo by loosening the two screws, moving them and re-tightening. Looks like it is just a matter of making sure...

If you are using Pits use a 3mm wide bearing on the inside of the front wheel (instead of the standard 4mm) and put the washers on the outside of the wheel, that makes it the correct width. It is...

The pivot system is the same as that on the double World Championship winning Eclipse 3 12th scale, and Atom 2 GT12 so is very well tried, tested and successful. The pivot system itself works just...

We don't run 17.5 in the UK much (yet) so I don't really know sorry. It is also very dependent on track size, motor, timing etc. It is best to ask other racers at the club you are going to race at as...

Alloy pivot parts are worth it as it possible to get the pivot 1mm lower than the plastic one, that is how the UK team runs it. Get the pivot spacers as well. Don't use the washers that come with it,...

We run alloy pivot because it is possible to get the pivot 1mm lower than plastic, no other reason. If you do run the alloy remember to threadlock the adjustment screw.
