I have 2 more questions.
What is the drive ratio for the trf419? Is it the same as 417?
I looked everywhere, but I couldn't it find it. I am looking for a pinion gear for stock 116t spur gear.
Second question is:
The c hub area has some up down, forward and back slop.
Up down is about 0.1mm or less, I could shim this one, but it made the steering some what less freely, so I left it that in-shimmed.
But forward and back a another 0.1-0.2mm slop. I think it is there due to the design of the part, I couldn't fix this one at all.
I don't think there is such car called slop free.
When you guys have to choose, would you rather have a slightly bind slop free, or moving freely, but has a little slop?
It is a small car, so I don't know how much slop is acceptable. I am not sure if I should be anal about it like many of you on there.
Thanks for advices!
If you had to choose between binding or excessive slop. Choose slop. If anything is binding in the car. It will have a much worse effect on handling. There should be spacers inside the C hub to remove the up/down slop. If it's too tight, use a different spacer thickness. Regarding the C hub moving front to back slop. Usually a .1 will fix that problem. Take your time on the build process. Or your going to hate driving the car at the track. (Any car)
