I ran mine reverse yesterday with no loosening, there is a lock nut, (jam nut) in the female side of the diff that keeps the diff screw from loosening.
My first run was on tires that were new last weeks so they had 4 runs on them, rear end was loose and car felt funny, made a spring change and added 1mm to rear hinge pins cars was better, stood shocks up to second hole from outside and it was very good, first heat, with new tires, the cars was amazing, spent most of the race thinking about what to change instead of just driving the wheels off. made another spring change along with angle change in the rear for the second heat and the car came alive, we use ifmar starts at my club so i slowed down and waited for a friend to catch up so we could "race". I was/am one happy camper now. tires/me/track/ or the final setup change for the main was a bad move, car was pushy, and loose at the same time, oops. my fault. got home and found a bad servo gear and a sevear tweak, did i mention i smacked the crap out the pipe a few times
car held together, nothing bent or broke. very satisfied with the car and glad i bought it.one thing i'm not sure of is the new steering rack. didn't have time to mess with changing it. i did figure out the Mi3 one will fit and has a little more throw. going to try a double diff and see if i actually can use the extra throw.

Haha maybe. I guess it wouldn be to hard to dremel off a cell hump in the tray
Awesome!
Looks nice! Are you going to run brushed in the 4?
Looks sick!
Rock on!!
I take it thats for asphalt? Im trying to figure out where I should start when I get mine
Really? Xray CV's fit the mi4? Do they not use the diff blades up front, or do they?
Sounds like a good first day.
Are you running MI3 springs?
And just curious, how do the diff blades hold up? Especially in the front
That thing is sick!
Haha yeah, I like the purple also. blacked out works fine to

One of the guys at my track who is 'the' fast guy to beat in Pro-stock now drives for Schumacher.
He used his car yesterday with it modified to take the Xray ECS driveshafts (he used to run the '009) and he said they made a huge difference, he fastest lap was a few hundreths quicker than the Mod guys!
