Cut staggers were a better front tyres compared with Splinters which were a little too safe, going to play around with the Ackerman and front pivot height to see if I can a little more high speed steering on a long looping bend we have.

I presume I need both gearbox half's, idler gear and motor plate to convert it to laydown gearbox, any other parts required?

Really pleased with the car and quality (ignoring the pistons) looks really good.
Just realised I need a different C block, strange as I don't see why the laydown one wouldn't work on the layback, also a different spur gear cover is needed.

Any tips on taking the pills out of the C block, there is a hole in the C block but it's smaller than the hole in the pill so can't push it out. Am I missing something?

Sorted using pliers but there must be a better way as it scuffs the tiny ' markings a bit.
