I know that when I made my "one off" brushless rear pod, I had to come up with 3.6mm towards the diff to center up. That required a new right side diff hub, upper and lower plates and a little delrin work to make my thrust kit work. Since I have run it, I did find that the tire wear has leveled out side to side. Acceleration tracked straight. And it cornered simetrically. Otherwise, it worked just fine. I will never build this conversion, so someone like yourself may as well take the reigns and run with it. For the guys who want to run brushed... sell them a 3.6mm spacer! Simple!!!
I wish that we could get away from the ride adjusters. That method is way over due for a revamp. Some kind of clicker, cam, gizmo.... something so that the axle did not have to come appart and was quick to change. I had something 15 years ago that did just that.... might have to revisit that idea.
Keep up the good work.

my goal is to center the central mass of the brushless motor as best as possible without exotic modifications.without changing the offset of the axle i may be backed into a corner.i will see how close i can get it with the given space.thanks for the kudos bro.
