^ I put the white grease (that came with the kit) on each screw that went into plastic and had no issues with any diff housing, front bracket or otherwise. Also, as others here have mentioned, getting a brand new 2.0 mm driver wrench helps ALLOT.

The plastics DO seem very high quality, much better than others. I guess everyone has different experiences with "wrenching", but this is the first I've heard of serious build issues... hope things go more smoothly..

Weavty1, that is hillarious! I always get a kick out of watching the "family" fun at the track. As a kid, my family wouldn't let me go (maybe like twice - so I had my own track in the backyard so my mom could watch while doing the dishes), so I can at least appreciate the families that do make an effort.

But on any given 'normal' weekend, it's fine, but you're right, when its a big race event, and the "im feeling a little more serious" cap comes on, then I get a little tired of extra noise.

I have seen a few people at a couple tracks that do have disabilities - for them, just getting up and down the drivers stand is a real chore. I have also heard other people, telling them, that they "need to help marshal".

This doesn't necessarily come from a coordinator, but I don't see a coordinator or director calling out during a drivers meeting that they are exempt... which I think needs to happen, and something I will probably mention at the next drivers meeting I attend!

When I hear this, I just say "no, its ok, I will take his spot"... but there is definitely a certain stigma and level of intimidation felt for people to marshal...

Meanwhile, the guy still bragging about his race is on his way back to the pits and the guy dedicated to help marshal is hobbling over to the side next to the landing after a big jump... lol.
