Hey guys!
So I'm halfway through a breakdown/rebuild of my RC8be, I'll be switching back to Associated gaskets and getting some Yamabond and the new clear O-Rings, and got my Grid motor mount rigged up
Just a few things...
1. My center diff seems EFFED up, its still all together and sealed, but there is SO much play between the outdrives if you wiggle them from side to side
Anyone seen this?
2. How are you guys measuring droop? Right now I've set my ride height around 30mm, and I limited the amount of droop in the front and rear just by eyeballing it, which seemed to have amazing results as far as stability at high speeds... I've noticed you guys saying that the new Worlds mods have more droop and this kind of scares me, I feel like my car gets high centered and just wants to spin... Also a few pages back someone seemed to assert that maybe my droop settings were causing premature wear of my front tires... Anyone got the dirty detes on droop settings?
3. I installed the steering rack with adjustable Ackerman and shorter steering linkages, and it seems that I've lost quite a bit of overall steering throw... The thing that concerns me the most is that with the new rack, my front tires toe-in changes dramatically as you move through the suspension travel... Anyone have experience with these racks? I'm considering going back to the kit's stock steering rack, any help is appreciated...
4. Team GRID: LOVING this mount. Perhaps too much, I can't seem to stop showing off how easy it is to my friends hahaha. That being said, I'm sure I'll wear out the little metal ears that secure the plate, they seem detachable luckily, do you guys sell replacements? Also, are you guys aware of any handling differences now that my motor sits so much higher in the car? It looks to me like it might keep the motor cooler
5. Anyone running aluminum center bulkhead? For some reason I really want to see my center diff completely enclosed in aluminum rather than plastic on one side, but I can only seem to find an Integy aluminum bulkhead and I've heard that Integy is crap, any thoughts?
Thanks!
