Matt. it is disappointing that they knew about the rubbing of the L1 rear arms in low diff position from the KC rear end mod, which I have done, and all they did to rectify this was to warn people they would have to remove material off the arm because they don't want the expense of modifying the mould tool very slightly. :(:(:(

matt 16-05-2019 07:10 AM

Yes that my feeling to but I'm sure someone will tell me I'm wrong. Other than the piston looking a bit daft with a counter sunk screw head sticking out of them it's a really nice kit.

One of the team drivers in our club had terrible trouble with the screws backing out of the shafts in his shocks, make sure the thread is immaculately clean and a dab of thread lock, but on a 2mm thread and amount of threadlock if it engages well is gonna be a bee ach to get out after, think I'd rather the circlips myself....

I would love the gearbox assy though to throw on my KC, but the L1 rear end has made the car drive awesome in pos 4 spec.

Yes I degrease mine and left them for a bit to set before filling with oil. The gear box is nice and I may get one to fit to my kc to.

not gonna release one as an upgrade I already asked them, separate parts you might as well buy the full buggy lol.

matt 16-05-2019 09:18 AM

Yes but one new car I can get away with buying, a few upgrades for a car over time and I'm good with that. Also it doesn't have to be the entire rear end just the gear box.

Expensive way to build the gearbox atm, lots of little bits that you need to get, without adding it up fully I recon you'd be looking north of £100 easily.

matt 16-05-2019 10:00 AM

Yeah I think it will be around that but I've got a ball diff already so that offsets it s little as will be a wet car.

matt 16-05-2019 10:06 AM

Also if you want to save some more keep an eye out for a kd gearbox as most of the internals fit the laydown.

Just looked now and lots of the KC internals fit the Laydown but not looked at the screws and got to 135 quid :o

still tempting though.

matt 16-05-2019 10:26 AM

It's doable but it's down to you if you want to spend the money on it.

share advice please

thanks

lynx75 17-05-2019 11:43 AM

I am waiting for the kit to arrives. In the meantime I am wondering why there is no chance to get sway bars mounted on the rear. I cannot say in the front but at least in the rear.

Any advice please?

thanks

When building the car, start with the shock pistons, then they have time for the thread lock to set. apart from that, the car is a really good build

Mine should be here In The next hour desks cleared ready to build
