Default Rayspeed hubs?

Just fitted some of these to my X-6. I read on Ellis's set ups that he took 2mm off the hubs where the balls screw in. He talks of washers under the ballstud, I wondered if someone can tell me the washer thickness so I can fit the right ones. Also, in order to get 4deg of antisquat, what thickness of shimz should I use.

he uses 2mm of washers so it is the same height as standard anyway, but he likes thos choice to be able to lower the balstud

I have had my hubs lowered but to be honest I tend to always run them at the standard height.

When I say washers it is a Losi gold washer which I believe are just a touch over 1mm thick.

For 4° squat use about a 1-2mm washer.

it seems that the rayspeed 0 deg rear hubs are always hard to get hold of - does anyone know if any shop has them in stock ?

0 deg, the back end is already "locked in" enough on the X6

I purchased some of these, and fitted them to my car with std bearings and std B4 bearing spacer, (this was on my X6). Notice one of them is binding.. Not sure anyone else has encountered this?
