Default RE: .28 in a funfactor? oh dear....

I shortened the Swift diff cups 4mm and rounded over the cut ends. I also had to clearance the bottom of the shock tower. The slot in the MT2 diff cups is about 7mm and the one on the Swift cups is 12mm so I made the slots in the Swift cups the same length as the ones for the MT2.
After the modifications to the diff cups and shock towers everything works and has plenty of clearance.
So, now I have 17mm hexes on the front with cvj's and diff cups that will not break as easily, if ever. Now I have to do the rear.

Poor Judgement, your half shaft solution is great and I was going to do it until I found the Swift parts. Now I don't have to use the adapters for the Romulins or change the lower shock mount. Also, have you seen the amount of buggy tires available?. I also can get different wheel hexes in different lengths to change the width of my truck by using off the shelf Ofna parts. For somebody that is not really interested in seriously modifying some parts or have the tools to do so I highly recommend you mod.

Scouser, CEN posted awhile back that they will always stock parts for discontinued kits.
