.. if i upgrade towers, arms, hubs and spindles on my v1 do the links need to be changed as well or are the links the same v1 & v3 ?
I have not used them yet. I run Fioroni pistons in my .1 though.

I think somewhere else in this thread someone put the Lunsford 410 links and EB ends (same as SCT410) on his kid's .3 for more durability.

Can anyone confirm if the lunsford Ti kit for the SCT410 is a drop-in for the .3?

You need the SCT410 rod ends, the .3 are smaller diameter links and ends. To make it exactly like the .3 you would probably want to get these

and the bent ones

since the .3 has a couple of those on the camber links.

The steering links and ends are the same between the two.

I had no issues on building the kit. My only recommendation is to use a reamer to open up the rod end holes to get the rods started easier. A little black grease or chapstick will make it easier to adjust them later as well.

Other than that it's a great build.

A 4mm reamer will come in handy to make sure there's no binding of the arms. I didn't have the issue on my first one, but many did. I did have that issue here through.

I also use a drill/power driver to start the screws threaded for the diffs, and other long screws, just make sure if using a drill the clutch is VERY weak so you don't strip out the hole. Do this before assembling any of the diffs. It'd suck to realize it after you have oil in, and trying to assemble.

I also use the drill on the camber & steering links, just pay attention to the thread direction. a little grease helps in the hole.

The kit springs are green frt, black rear. There should be a little bit of green paint on one end or the other of the frt springs.

So run the screws first before you even put any parts on the diff and then take them out an put together ?
Thanks

Built shocks to kit specs as emulsion. Ran for the first time yesterday and noticed the rear is slapping on take off from our biggest jump. Ride height was put to 28mm rear. When going over rough portions of the track, you can see the rear not rebounding fast enough to stay in contact.

I'm thinking i should build rear as sealed bladder type with 50% rebound built in. What do you guys think?
