But I believe I also need these

I just noticed that Amain and Stormer dont carry the slider rings, is the only source for these parts out of the UK? Are the rings needed or can the diff be run with just the inserts? Is there an alternative?

Also the cars came with alot of drive shafts, all are metal. Many are new but the used ones seems to have broken at the pin on the CV joint. Is this a common break? The spools the cars came with also have damage to the out drive ends, what is the best method to prevent this?

I will be running one car in 17.5 non boosted and the other in 13.5 boosted. Any suggestions to put me in the ball park with gearing?
Any good setups to start off with for each car running rubber tire, carpet on a rather bumpy surface?

Is anyone using a servo saver?
Thanks.
You don't really need the rings that go over the inserts.

Did one of those LP's by any chance come from Jeff Jenkins?
