The diff gear would be the issue as Schumacher use 32dp gears in their transmissions so had to go this route, its also good people can use their existing idler gears/bearings if they wish to keep the cost down a bit but for me I would go with the Peek idlers and a new diff gear/idler if its had a fair bit of running on it so its all fresh

Let's see if he can get better results than Cav. High grip ultimate speed is the first thing to go with age IMO. Cav did do pretty well at the worlds in 2wd to be fair, just missed the podium from memory. Wonder where he will land next year...if anywhere. With the worlds being on a track more like all his WC wins, would be good to see if he can have one final blast. Hopefully a brand sees that and picks him up.

Well that would be interesting, I kinda got the impression they had given up on offroad, despite the 1/8th car having a good reputation. There is a little bit of a following for 1/10th side in the UK with a 5 gear conversion. Anyway, getting off topic, sorry.

Time to shim these arms to make the whole car a bit tidier, without any binding of course... but... er... wait....

did Robin and Trish buy a pallet of leftover AE B4 axles to build their cars or what?!? Seriously?!?

Anyone know what these holes on the rear hubs do besides shorten or lengthen the hub? Seems like it makes the cambers link either straighter or more angled. What effect does that have? All I mostly see is what changes by making the links longer by either lengthening by physically making them longer or taller/shorter on the back studs. Nothing about angling
