How many of the parts are shared with the MSX? I'm assuming the suspension components are (arms, knuckles, blocks, etc). Thanks.

I haven't had any trouble with my gears running a 7x1. I think the key is shimming. I shim it so that when the gears mesh towards each other, they won't bind. And when they mesh apart, it won't be too far apart that they can strip. Only thing I break are the plastic spool outdrives.

I just switched to the TA05 steel outdrives. No problems with them. And the car still spins free lock to lock with no motor, no pinion.

Anyone knows if the kit will come with spare toe block like the MSX to adjust the rear toe to -2.5. If not, would a C block the go to get -2.5 deg toe.

If the kit is setup to use XA/E on the rear, there would be two options.
1) D on the rear block
2) X on the front block
Either of thoose two will give you 2.5deg of rear toe-in, although XA/D would give a narrower track than X/E

No front on board toe must be a shaft thingy since most of the belt cars normally have them. Anyway might include a few optional toe blocks when I get the car. Can't wait for next week
