I've used sway bars on loose outdoor tracks before. Its a tuning option so try it if you think it will help you.

Med to high bite smooth track sounds to me like a sway bar could help depending what you are looking for though,

Just make sure you do a search (Ty Tessman has a good video) on setting up your sway bars. The little grub screws shouldn't be so tight to lock down the sway bar. I've just recently found this out, and properly installed sway bars on my B6 has made it easier to drive. I didn't think they were doing me much good until I figured out I'd installed mine wrong.

I love how so many people on here see what is common at their track and think that AE Should base their kit around that set up.

THIS IS WHY WE BUY KITS PEOPLE!!!!!!

Not everything that works for you will work for me. Not everything that works on your clay track will work on mine. That is why kits come with minimal cheap parts. Its been the way Associated has done it forever. Then when one part has had enough research to prove that it works in every situation it is put in the kit. Just like the transityion from rear to mid motor, they kept rear motor around until people figured out how to make mid motor work on low grip and the rear motor is now gone.

Knock it the hell off. You DO NOT know more that the engineers and sales dept at Associated. You never will. That is why they are engineers and you are some goofy club racer that thinks his half assed sponsorship deal makes him important.

Pretty sure people are free to discuss whatever they want on this thread so long as it remains on topic(B6) and does not break forum rules.if it bothers you leave. Plently of other threads you can go spend your time in if you don't like what's being discussed.

LOL wow someones panties are in a bunch, and way to tight. and you are correct I am a "goofy club racer" with 22+ years as a tool and die maker now doing engineering and CNC programming for real vehicles . I never will know as much as someone who designs toy cars.

He's just as free to speak what he wants about the topic as well. May I suggest you don't quote them?? This of course is merely a suggestion

Maybe read what was written before you interject? His original post clearly states "stop posting what I don't like" so I reminded him that since its on topic and no forun rules where being broken people are free to discuss packaging and setups to ther hearts content and if it does bother him simply leave the thread until the posts he found objectionable stopped.

And I the reason why I quote people is so things don't get changed and mixed up after the original post.

You completely didn't understand anything of what I said and I don't have time to explain it to you.

I'll just put another pic up of the rear end.

there is a few things I dislike. Diff insert (remember the b5...) Slipper nut prevents a fan being mounted to the chassis...I looks like we might need a new chassis....and a new cmount....might as well sell my car and get a new one, a conversion wont be worth it.

So the trans is flipped and laying down? And why are we having the slipper spring on the opposite side?

No panties here. But i have a tray of cookies, ill leave you one because obviously that is what you are looking for. Dont come on here talking shit about what you do for a living I am not impressed, I run a CNC machine too, building custom parts, show me some G-code that you wrote and I will be impressed, until then calm your tits. You do NOT know as much as someone that designs toy cars, neither do I that is why I let them do what they need to do without question. If you did you would be designing toy cars.

Oh and btw I also have 20+ years of fixing engineers mistakes, on real cars, your credentials impress nobody but yourself.

Show me where I said "dont post what I dont like" and you have the nerve to quote it as if those were my exact words. Maybe you should take your own advice and read what I wrote. Nowhere did I say anything of the sort.

My comment was directed at MULTIPLE different people that say the kit should come with this or that, based off what they see at their home track, probably never raced a major/national event and sales this and sales that based off what A-main publishes or what they see at their local track, like they have ANY clue what the actual facts are.

Next we will see another 15 posts about this company or that company that had the adjuster spring on the other side, and another 30 posts about how it looks like this car or that car, lets discuss the car and move on, if you dont like it dont buy it. Period. Dont judge AE or the engineers because of what YOU see. Now my posts have gotten much longer and off topic because people like to complain about me complaining about the complainers.
