Thoughts on the MR2 after todays first drive

[OneKiwi]

Well I tested the Mr2 today on our astro bumpy track
This one

After a oil and piston and spring swap from how I got it set up from the previous owner, I must say Im pretty happy with it.

I now run XRAY XB4 pistions
F 3x1.3 35wt and I think it is AE blue
R 3x1.4 27.5 and I think stock blue

I also replaced the bleed screws that one was stripped with 2mm ones

I used TD210 wheels rears was and ok easy mod to do but I found that the front axle was a mm too short and it binded up if I screwed to tight.

I ended up using a angled screw and a small spacer, there was a little in and out movement but not too much

I though I would test the gear diff I got with it as the ball diff was a bit rough. Put it in and the dreaded bark... took it out and then apart to find that there are plastic internal gears and they had skipped and were now useless (were probably a bit worn anyway)

I did miss a bit of the on power steering both with well used nanobytes and blockpass, so I will try staggered that usually give the 210 too much steering.
