ps. good luck this weekend at the finals!

From my experience you actually don't want any backlash. Tighter the better without binding.

Yeah..pretty much I have come to the same conclusion, the only way to make one work would be to mill the chassis to recess the whole plate, but I think it would weaken the chassis..I've tried the stainless plate in the rear but after 2 or 3 races it's a plow..

I've used mine a handful of times, it works very well. It holds a charge quite a bit longer than the sub-c style drivers also. The indicator LED is nice also:

Green = Good
Red = time to recharge
No LED when on the plug = plug is bad

well i made the conversion to 2.0 and the spindles and carriers were the only things not changed....and i was doing a setup on on my buddies 2.0 and noticed his truck had just a tad bit more steering throw before lock up....
