Just remember, all the weight of power is in the rear... so you might spin out bad...

Yeah, i know that, ive tried the fwd option also, but it does not steer very well when you accellerate... so i guess ill have to loose some points..... what would you recomend, a tigher rear diff, or looser?

Ima say tighter... you want to grip as much as possible... having a loose diff will cause the rear to slide... or is it the opposite... lol

Actually if the diff is loose you'll have more traction from that end of the car,
that's why usually you want your front diff tight and your rear diff loose

Ah.
I need more blue parts. lol
It's a bit dirty right now and as you can see the wires are kinda all out.
I'm looking to get a Racing One-Way Diff and some TRF shocks.
Hope you guys like it.

Back to the spur gears question, i noticed that if both of the screws are evenly tight in the spur gear holder, the spur gear tends to be more round. Has anyone else noticed this?

Nice pro, get the carbon shock towers and trf shocks and it will be the same as mine!

This isnt the buy/sell/trade forum thread... if you had read the user agreement it clearly states that...
