Installed electronics -plenty of space for all, after schumacher K2, also this is a nice option.
But when made the first meters... that noise confused me... noise from drive train... is it a norm for B64?
What the first steps to reduce it?
After K2 this things seems like a nitro for me

I had a YZ-4 before this. This car will always be noisier than a belt but this car does have a bit of a reputation for being noisey.
I have an early edition before changes were made to the ring gear. I tried mine outside the house and thought it a bit loud but when i took it to the track I felt it was no louder than anything else.
As said many times before, pay particular attention to shimming the diffs. The manual calls for 5 and 3 shims on the diff. Many people reccomend 8 and 0, but I found the manual to be spot on.
Moral of the story, do it for yourself, ignore recommendations of how many shims, but pay attention to recomendations on how its done.
Best of luck.
