if your intent on getting it perfect you will end up adding lead, matching tires, cutting, etc
thanks for that fast ho cars i understand what you mean now i wont worry to much about the balance then unless its very important and keeps the car handling the same left and right. i think i already know what your answer will be
i will source some lead weights
but i've also just found something new i've lossen the top pillow ball nut (not that the movement was tight) and tried to twist the rear pod assembly each way and it is stiffer on one way!

also, you might want to get some 16g wire. 14G was no big deal with lust 2 wires but with 3 wires and a sensor harness the wire can really mess with the cars tweak.
thanks adrian yes ill get to the 16 G wire part soon! and shorten the 3 main wires while im at it so theres no need to cable tie things to hold things in place
cheers guys!
oh also one more question i've been using 48 pitch spur and it only allows me 6 diff balls to be fitted where as the 64 pitch allowed 8 diff balls... are there any other guys running 48 pitch spur gears with problems? i ran the car for say 3 packs and the diff started to slip majorly.
