You don`t have to mill the losi axle for the Gt....
there`s a better way.....
How to modified losi axle#1022 for ae Gt
#1 use a dremel and a cut-off wheel .......
#2 cut the axle right down the middle of the existing pin hole.
#3 use the cut off wheel & grind the end of the axle flush ,untill you do not see any of the remaining pin hole.
#4 drill out the Gt steering knucke with a 1/4 drill bit.
#5 install the axle on the steering knuckle( be carefull not to install it backwards)
#6 use a handdrill ( not the dremel) & a 1/8 drill bit.....
#7 drill out the pin hole with the axle installed in the steering knuckle.
purpose for doing this> wider ft end, for more steering & stabilty
note> use 4 to 5 .060 shim for adjusting bump steer to neutral...
Gt caster block mod
#1 use a 30 degree Gt caster block
#2 used the cut off wheel & trim flush the top part ( where the ball stud mounts)
#3 use the cut off wheel & bevel the top inside corner of the block( this allows the camber link to not bottom out on the block)
#4 use the ft ball kingpin thats used on the B-3 or T-3,
used two .030 shims on the topside of the pin, one .030 on the bottom.....
reason for doing this> longer ft camber link, for more steering....
*plus you can adjust the ballstud for fine tuning the steering...
*T-4 axle & T-4 dogbones
reason for the mod> wider rear track for more traction & stabilty
dogbones verses the Cvd
dogbone has more SIDE traction & FORWARD bite coming out of the turn...
If your pushing, Cvd may be better.....
Neither one sould be consider the best.....
Both work when used for the conditions that they work best on...
Try it..........
