What would you suggest for lube on low to medium grip asphalt? On All but green carpet your diff as worked very well for me with couple of drops of dry lube but on asphalt it feels a bit less stable than a conventional ball diff resulting in slightly less oncsistant & slower laps.

Dry fluid will make car a little temperamental...;-)
If you feel the car twitchy, you can start to use syrups.
Heavier the syrup more easier the car will become, start from 500K.
Remember, you don't have to "fill" the diff as touring one. 4 dabs of syrup on the internals are all you need.
Any issue you might have, just let me know

any suggestions on brand of 'syrup'?

Sure. Mugen, Xray, Core are excellent in my experience

this picture caught my intention, never bump on those thing before. extended shock ball joint (not sure what to call it though) maybe still prototype thingy.

Lot of guys are using this here in France. It gives more steering on and off power without compromising the rear grip. Very usefull tip !

That is intereseting

Any one have any more pictures

looks like a t4 standoff to a aluminum turnbuckle into a ball end. you can probably flip the front front carbon top plate and use a countersunk screw through a nut with an xray ball stud.

That sounds like a good call. I think the X12 has the ability to extend the shock. I think there were some old school pan cars with a similar extension.

This is exactly the way I have had my car for 4 months now. Apart from the T4 standoff though - I have a 6 mm x 35mm generic standoff.

42mm total length with the shims

hmmm

How does the extension give more steering?

Is it adding front flex, or changing weight transfer, or something else?

may i know the product code? since it's not available at my local hobby shop, even in offical teamxray website i cant find it.

it's just a 38mm aluminium tube with 3mm thread and 2x2mm spacers.

It's all about weight transfer, it is way more reactive
