Not in the near future, no. The company feel that people have not had the chance to make the most of the E4 yet due to the lack of racing.

That one I can't answer I'm afraid. Sam was running the new damper rods at the BRCA National last weekend though and they are definitely easier to fill. No difference in feel either.

Like 2dialed said you will have to use a thin spur with the oring. I used the RW (https://www.rwracing.co.uk/product/acetal-diff-spurs) ones and just found the smaller Axon (https://www.amainhobbies.com/axon-dt...08189?v=694287) ones work too. This way you don't have to do anything to the chassis. I also added one thin axle spacer to clear it just that much more but was not needed in the end.

Could someone measure the dimensions of the thrust bearing that comes with the Eclipse. Looking for the outer, inner and thickness.

Thank you in advance.

I don't have one at hand to measure but either side of the thrust washer is slightly different. Inner diameter on large side as mentioned in last comment, small side I think is 2.9mm.
