I just picked up a club racer on impulse. Hobby shop had a good deal but I am reading now I may have got one wrong for turf. But I will live with it, I am a B/C main sort of guy and not trying to conquer the world. I paid $330 and needed a motor/ESC anyways.
Oh well, I now ordered laydown conversion, gear diff and gullwing arms and tower.
I also got the 30g brass bulkhead and other than that was going to build and see what happens but the ball diff is my biggest wonder?
Who has run turf with the standup and ball diff might be a better question. Should I even bother to build this way or just put the new parts on?

Keep that ride height low (18-20mm) and get some stiff springs, heavy oil, and 1.6 pistons front, 1.7 rear. That should put you in a good place to start. Have fun!

That's what I figured. 5000 good diff oil to start with?

also work. There was a whole debate on b6 nation about running the 67mm bones
without the offset hubs. I personally don't recomend it as you could hear them bind
at full compression. Some guys run them and have 0 issues.

Phillip, additionally please make sure you are running the correct shock eyelets on your rear shocks, and that you have the proper amount of shock limiters inside the shock.

Copying Neil craggs setup for the regional series caused my driveshafts to pop out. Running the ball diff it was not a problem but changing to a geared diff caused them to fall out due to it being 1.5mm narrower.
That's b5m shocks, geared diff, long eyelet, 3rd hole in wishbone, 28mm shock length, pils in centre all round, gearbox raised 2mm.

Long rear shocks, Long Eyelets without the Long rear Tower is too much droop

If you run the wider pill settings you need the ASC91605 cva shims. The MIP shims
also work. There was a whole debate on b6 nation about running the 67mm bones
without the offset hubs. I personally don't recomend it as you could hear them bind
at full compression. Some guys run them and have 0 issues.

I added the shims but it caused binding. I took the shims out and just lessen the droop from 27.5mm to 26mm. CVA bones stopped popping out.

Insert the large rear bearing
slide the large spacer onto the axle
Insert the axle into the rear bearing, the large spacer should be on the outside
between the bearing and axle shoulder
From the other side slide the small shim over the axle
Install the outer bearing
install pin and Hex.

Quick question:
+3 on the rear hub inserts, are the hubs sitting high or low?

All this hub/bearing/axle insert crap is irritating. It’d be nice if they just made some stuff that worked with less screwing around. eg: if I buy some axles and I buy some hubs, they should just go together without any need for posting questions, or buying third party parts. Maybe their instruction sheets just suck?
EDIT: Sorry. It was early and I was CRANKY.
