Default crunch spacers on the driveshafts?

the manual says put them on the outside of the hubs on the wheel side, which i have been doing, but what - or + effect will i get putting them on the inside thus shortening the wheelbase?

I would imagine that by moving them inside the hub you would move the drive shaft too far into the diff outdrive. Not good I would imagine.

Hi mate,

by putting the gold washer on the inside of the hub your reducing the cars track width.

A narrower rear track width will:
  • increase grip at corner exit
  • increase high speed understeer
  • be more prone to grip roll
A wider rear track width will
  • increase rear grip at corner entry
  • increase high speed on throttle steering
  • use to avoid traction rolling
Hope this helps

Craig
