only benefit to use standard thread buttons is

think the orange lock nut looks eye candy as well

Did forget one thing though ....

need 2 #31286
As far as the ball stud washers go, what thickness?

I have the team edition chassis with no holes for the saddle pack cradle. Are there instructions somewhere about how to align and mount the cradle on the team chassis?

There should have been a copy of instructions with a template on it with the craddle incase the chassis didnt have the holes. I know mine came with the template and it worked well.

Not if the cradle came from a parted out FT kit.

FYI, if installing the FT saddle pack on an Exotek chassis move the holes 2mm towards the rear, the exo chassis has a thicker front bulkhead.
When using the front springs on the rear do you stretch them any to get some adj range on the shock body?

Default Sonic 540 Mod Rotor, 13.0 x 25.3 (5.0)
Reedy is releasing a new MOD rotor for the 540 Sonics (Part #987). It is a 13.0x25.3mm rotor. I am thinking of puting this in my 7.5 to give my 4x4 more low end. Any thoughts?

Thanks!
Yes install the carbon hub upside down, you need the 12mm ballstuds. Same thing just longer than the stock ones.

No do not stretch the springs, that will change their spring rate!

Stretching springs doesn't technically change their spring rate. However, stretching them makes them 'narrower' and they will rub on the shock body more or they probably won't stretch evenly and then will be ruined.

Why do you need the 12mm ball studs for the 8mm mod?

The stock ones are too short to reach the threaded metal washers under the shock tower with so many spacers. You can get away with 6mm or so with the stock ones.

Hes asking why on the CF hubs that go on the hub carrier for the 8mm mod do you need the 12mm ball studs. I'm not sure either so I would like to know as well........

ok, they are needed for the inside rear ball stud. What is the normal height on the rear inside link when using the mod?
