IMO, it depends on your toe-in. If you have very little toe-in, the spacers will be nice and snug but not bind. If you have more toe-in, then the spacer will be tight since your pins are at an angle and the spacers rub more against the hinge pin blocks.

They could make it smooth for more toe-in, but then it would be too loose for less toe-in.

I'm talking about the Box kit setup which most people build the car too. What's funny is my b6.4 had zero issues with the rear pins. When I was building my b74.1 I literally found a video in reference to a guy talking about the issue having a sand down the spacers and now I had the same issue with the t6.4. On top of that I've had random pieces as far as Hardware missing from all of my kits. It just seems like the quality control has definitely dropped off which is sad.

What pinion is this?

That was probably my video. It is what it is. It would be great if their quality control was higher, their prices were lower, their car came with more options parts, lots of things. Nearly everything in life is becoming lower quality over time, so I'm pretty zen about it. No point in wasting emotional energy over these things for me.

i get it, in ref to not wasting energy, just sux quality appears to have gone down, i just bought 3 new kits B6.4d b74.1d and now T6.4 and they all had small missing hardware, screws, aluminum washers and some fitment issues.. its just sad. Ive Never in my 25yrs of racing had any of my prev AE kits have issues from T2 all the was up to my B6D before i got out of racing 5yrs ago.. Ohh well..

Team Trinity light weight.

I know I've mentioned the obvious shrinkflation we are all seeing. I know I. The past AE has had pretty good product support if I send in an issue with pics and a description. I don't really have room to say anything about this kit still in the box. I got to get busy. October will be here before I know it.

What Carpet setup is everyone running? I'll be getting my kit soon and looking for a good starting point for a smaller track that has pretty high bite. Running the Jovy Levin setup on my 6.2 right now and it's pretty good.

Kind of a bummer, but I fix it by using 2mm of the aluminum spacers which are more slippery, or sometimes 1.5mm

It's also usually only a problem when running a lot of toe and the arms are angled.

its the standard kit set up, exact same thing happened with B74.1D, stock set up, had to sand the hell out of the spacers.. :-(

Sounds like a lot of the factory drivers are using some configuration of buggy towers, shock bodies, and shock shafts to lower the CG and slam the body on there stadium truck. Has anyone run this setup, if so is there a noticeable difference? Also looking for a parts list with instructions, i.e. internal/external limiters, stroke lengths, eyelet lengths, things to modify. Thanks

My understanding is you use the complete buggy front shocks with a buggy front tower and the stiffest buggy spring sold. Then you need to bend a 1.4mm bar and source the necessary pieces to mount it to the top of the front top plate. I think Spencer is using some mounts from the TC7 to secure it but you still need the rest of the hardware to secure it to the arms. Or you can try the thicker front bars sold by Revolution Design. Their largest bar might bind in the front ballstud mount and if it does it will obviously affect performance.

The rear shocks are a mixture of truck bodies and buggy rear shafts but they use the truck rear springs, and the buggy rear tower. From the pictures I have seen they are also running a rear bar but I don’t know the size.

I purchased my towers from Factory Foote.

I haven’t run my truck on dirt yet but hopefully later this week I can.

On carpet, we run a B64 (the old 4wd) *rear* bar on the *front* of the truck, and it fits well. Currently running Gray (1.4mm).

For the rear we use a standard T6.1 rear (ASC71129) - currently using the 1.1mm bar.

Are you running the setup that Ryan Hovis posted on the website?
Just got my truck yesterday and want a good base setup to start with. I plan on going to RCOne and practice/race at some point in the next couple of months before the Cleveland race.

Thanks,

I posted my setup sheet in this thread.
