The BX was always awkward to setup. The worse thing you can do is go back to the kit setup as it's hopeless for UK tracks. Best thing to do is flip the rear turnbuckle plate /gearbox top over so the ball studs point downwards, then make up a spacer raising the plate until the inner ball joints have 1-2mm clearance to the diff outdrives. Like someone else mentioned, it's a difficult kit to get working well on high grip tracks, so much so that I gave up on it earlier this year. However, with upgraded 4mm thick shock towers it's the strongest kit I've ever raced, so has it's good points.
