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

Make a 1/16 shim for under the blocks?

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 8) 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.

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

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

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

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
