This picture may help more, you must remember that this was based on the Cyclone-S, so has all the 3Racing hop ups for the 'S' version, mine does not have the camber links on the bulkheads mine are on the shock towers, gives you less scope for adjustment, but likewise less chance to screw something up lol.
Also if you look closely we have used some 13mm Heatshrink placed over the outputs on the diffs, if you put this OVER the purple alloy rings it makes the plastic diff outputs almost unbreakable. Also keeps out the dirt from the bearing.

Also using the Yokomo (40T) ball diffs front and rear stops the 'melting' diff as was happening to us on a regular basis as the stock 'S' diffs undid themselves and then slipped to death in a pool of molten plastic. Yokomo ones are bullet proof, mixed with Ceramic 2.4mm balls they are ideal and pretty much maintenance free.
