I dont care for the black AE grease, I used Mobile 1 synthetic grease instead, between that and breaking in my diff by hand, mine is super smooth (better than any ball diff I have built before)

thanks man! much much better. i dont know if its perfect, but its a world different.

anyone here on a very loose track playing with rear toe in settings?

If so, what are you liking so far beyond 3 degrees?

I run the 3.5 block a lot! Especially since I use shorty packs and run a really light car.

I have gone to 4 with good results But you loose lots of steering. to get 4 I have used the 3 degree with 1 degree hubs.

I like the feel of 3.5 on our track but when a new layout is done I go to 4 min

Not a large reduction. If you lost a ton of steering, the track already has enough grip that you shouldn't have been using it anyway.

Jake, so your saying that link length causes more of a change than link height? Hopefully that's understandable.

My current challenge to myself is to understand and learn camber link/roll center adjustments. So far it's been both fun and frustrating but interesting.
