FARMERS Official ORANGE RACER Build it is DONE 8/27/12

[Charlie don't surf]

Holy crap, my 10t doesn't have that much droop

[farmer]

using that mip trans your outdrives are higher off the chassis than a standard stealth. that's most likely why you're having that problem.

yup
11/16 top of the outdrive to the bottom of the case stealth
3/4 top of the outdrive to the bottom of the case MIP
1/16 causing probs have to work with it
i guess thats things we run into when we do custom
builds

Make a 1/16 shim for under the blocks?

need to loose 1/16
off the tranny
raising the blocks wont bring the cvds into the outdrive

what r u getting joey

I am using the Losi LXT rear carriers, on the lower hole (which raises the CVD up), this may be the difference.

It may not, but if your trying to fix the relationship between the out drive and the inner pivot point, that's how "I" would do it. If the out drive is 1/16" high, its 1/16" high from the suspension pivot, right? That's what is throwing it off. I like the losi carrier idea tho that would do it too

farmers car has the CW hubs, which are identical to the losi hubs (except for the camber locations). the relationship between the axle and hinge pins are the same.

[GoMachV]

Does the losi have a slightly different offset then? Something must be different?

[scr8p]

his whole issue is that mip changebox.

[jwscab]

1/16" shims under the arm mounts should wrap up the issue then.

[scr8p]

farmer, going back through your earlier pics, you have the hinge pin in the top hole in the hub carrier. use the lower one.

[JK Racing]

you have the hinge pin in the top hole in the hub carrier. use the lower one.

on the lower hole (which raises the CVD up), this may be the difference.

I agree, use the lower hole on the rear carrier.

it was changed awile back to the lower hole
adding shims under the mounts
would not bring the cvds IN
a longer bone part of the cvd would possibly
be the answer
i would like to find something that could be used
for i would like to be able to use the upper hole on the hub if needed

then it all goes back to the outdrive height with that trans. not much your're gonna do about it except reduce your droop so they don't pop out.
