Why you might ask? I have killed 4 spurs in a weekend running mod.

96 spur 23 pinion if you are dead set on running 64 pitch but I would recommend against it.
what brand 48p spur are you running ?

arrowmax ??

Arrowmax or xenon.

Update on this. I was out practicing yesterday and the center pulley bearing failed. The outer race and cage were missing. I think I may have gotten a bad bearing that lead to killing to many spurs. I will be adding this to my list of things to check. Never had an issue in my 4 years with AMX and they use the same center pulley bearing sizes.

Yes, I found softer springs work very well, so far the biggest changes I made on asphalt are 1.1mm swaybars front and rear, 4.75F/4.5R springs and cut off the little "bridge" in the front top deck

I have also the softer 1.1mm swaybar for in front to test next weekend. Cutting the front topdeck makes thé car little bit less precise i heard

It helps in high grip conditions, especially if you experiencing traction rolling over curbs

Default Castertools

I designed a traditionel tool to use with your setup tools to messure Caster at the Four Wheels at thé same time. It takes a minute to screw all four on and less than a minute to remove.

Default Rear body mounts

What’s everyone doing to get the rear of the body down ? With the stock body mounts the rear end is up high ? Is mugen making -2 or -3 body mounts for this car ? I guess the only way to adjust is not cut the bottom of the body until you have it mounted on the car . “Pita “.
