What is locked front diff?
Not same as spool?
Do you mean that kind of TC5's slipper spool?

OK well, just misunderstanding.
How about titanium turnbuckles and new belt drives(i saw M. Rheinard used some prototype belt in europe). Longer topdecks are also good and i wish steel swing shafts, rather those "bad" aluminium ones, which i saw someguy broke in the 1st race, but, if they will include aluminium rear axle will not be bad, in the case i never broke mines of trf415 in the rear.

Then anybody could tell me why wish using AH spring rather than TRF ones.
As i know the hardness between of different AH springs are closer than TRF ones.

hi guys, i have a setup question...what is the effect of running shorter top camber links on the 416 or any car coming to that..also if i shorten the top rear camber link and move the ball joint in towards the car on the rear upright what will this do for the handling, does the same answer apply to shortening the front camber link and moving the ball joint towards the outside of the car..hope this makes sense..many thanks in advance

Shorter links equals higher roll center and less roll.

Well... figure that most cars come with anti-roll bars fromt and some times rear as well. Perhaps the manufacutrers are trying to tell you something there. Either they expect you to run on a farily good surface with good traction, or they just want to say that (sway bars) are a good idea. But If theres so much traction that your cars seems to pitch before yaw then perhaps a stiffer spring may help. But the bar combines the springs at a rate of the diameter of the sway bar. But on the other hand some say that the bar affects the responce time (slower) of the car in transition. Either way {stiffer spring / sway bar} u are giving up grip. I believe in running the softest spring possible for mechanical grip... and using anti-roll bars front and rear to adjust the balance front to rear. A thicker bar makes the car stay flatter in the turns but decreases the lateral traction. In front its is refered to slip angle.
