You also need to get the revised front steering knuckle to take advantage of the new steering ackerman. The front bulkhead has a different part number but to me it looks identical, and it might only be different in the fact that you have a place to mount the front sway bar. I also shortened the rear wheel base by 1 mm via shims according to the manual. I only deviated by keeping my roll center links in the outer front holes vs the middle holes and I took the ball stud washers off to get as much steering as possible.

I ran this setup in at cruisin with rc last weekend, and it runs good esp with schumacher cut staggers in the front. I have a video of it on youtube.

You run Cruizin?? I'll be there Sunday to see the Points race. If I can get involved in club racing, I think that's where I would like to go. It's only a little over an hour from my house so it's close. Trains and Lanes is closer...

Steve has been a help with tire choices for my RB6.6 and DB-01. As well as battery help. I also like the look of the track. Should be a bit of a challenge fore as I've never driven 1/10 on an actual track.

What's the YT channel? I'll check it out
