Thanks for the quick reply.

Next question, how do you reduce the track width (at hinge pins and not hexes)? Are there optional split blocks that are narrower?

And is the green alloy parts avail yet? and from where?

does anyone know the spacing (for track width adjustment)
what comes in the kit (frt and rr)

Also, anyone tried the flex chassis yet? and is there any pics avail?

The green parts are not available yet, but should be soon.

Thanks for all the replies. Much appreciated. I will check out the FB page when I get home from work (stupid workplace blocks!)

Has anyone played around to see how small of spur will fit? Ran a 96/51 on my TC6 last year. Would like to avoid sanding on the top deck if at all possible. Maybe a 92/47?

I ran a 92 spur and the smallest pinion I could fit was a 44 and still have proper mesh.

92/47 should fit.

i ran 68/37 48p yesterday works out around 90/49 in 64p. minor bit of sanding needed on the top deck just to widen it that little bit for the pinion. If you have the hudy narrow pinions, i think it will fit without any modifications.
