I've been following this thread, however, I do not recall seeing anything about a release date.
I'm pretty sure I saw something on Mytsn about front CVD's in March or something tho ???

Also, Ive been thinking about the front to rear angle of the front shocks. I'm thinking of spacing out the lower ball end to straighten them up a little, and as an added bonus, the top end will have a little more clearance from the carbon fiber. It should hold up ok as I have done it on the 835 to solve the problem it had of the dogbone rubbing the shock springs. Run a fair fer races with it spaced out and have found no drawbacks at this stage.

With the stock Centax II clutchbell housing (as well as Centax I), the holes are 180 degrees apart and directly opposite each other.
The optional lightened Centax II clutchbell is like the Centax III clutchbell and they have 3 of these holes at 120 degrees apart.
Still if you look at the Centax II clutchbell housing tool, it only makes use of a single hole on the optional lightened Centax II clutchbell. A pin will go through only one hole and it already holds the clutchbell firmly.
I'm still trying to find a 3 mm drill bit hard enough that would drill my Hudy spring steel Centax II clutchbell housing tool (909593) to align with the Centax III clutchbell holes. Once this hole is drilled, they will fit fine in the Centax III clutchbell to hold it.

Remember, no point having too much power when you cannot control it.

It's the same Serpent tank from the kit. I drilled a hole and put the nipple in the center, plug the other two sides with grub screws. When I do this, I do not need to change the position of the nipple if I run clockwise / counterclockwise tracks. Not a must but just my preference.

The manual suggested we put the lid nipple on the right for right hand sweeper...why? other than explained in the manual pg 22?

jfc, I've tried both sides and raced clockwise as well as anticlockwise. All I can say is that ever since the AFL cap (this is standard now in all kits) was released I did not have any problems whichever side I place it.

How did it work for you? You're using KO servo for steering? What length did you end up with? The servo arm 90 degrees with the servo casing or 90 degrees with the linkage?
Honestly...less than the 44.5(standard)...exact no proper caliper to check..mine useless. But yes 90 deg with servo casing.
