Ummmm.......Nah.

CS is MUCH harder than 50/50, take my word for it. Everyone's different, but the one thing you can count on being a constant, is that.

The two are very different concepts in execution, so you may become very good at 50/50, but will be at square one, when you start CS.

Everyone who has done it this way will say the same.

My rear aluminium pully fitted, looks good and makes the drive so much stronger

hey, havent seen you posting much around the forum the last few days.. have you been having a break? it was fiddley to fit my white spur to the new alloy pully (and the previous plastic one too) as the holes on the spur where slightly off kilter with the holes on the pully but got there in the end.. Ill hopefully be ordering the other pullys at the end of the month..I will probably order the pullys and then see what I can do re your advise before about positioning the concentrics and the front middle pully cradle.

Nah...Had to help my mother pack for her trip south. She should be in CA. by tomorrow morning.

I'm thinking you're going to have to re-adjust the concentrics, regardless. Raising the center pulley mount should be done only if you run out of adjustment in the front concentric.

The Ofna H4e was ordered! Should be here tomorrow or Friday. Can't wait! I've been poring over all the pics I can see of it. The thing is, the more I look at it, the more I'm liking it! It has bulkheads that don't require removal of shock towers/shocks/links to swap out diffs! Even the center pulley mount is easily removable for belts swaps. The steering knuckles and C-hubs are off-road style, so the H4e should be a pretty strong set-up.

I'll give a complete accounting of it, when I start a build thread on it. I'm fairly impressed with the H4e. It's design is familiar, but the way it's components are designed is where it departs from all other upper level race chassis - even the price! $359.You can't find one like this, as good as this, for less than double that price.

LOL!

By last accounting, 13. Six drifters, six "M" class, two crawlers and one rock racer. Some have dual purposes, so that's why the numbers don't add up. I have no 1/10th on-road "grip" cars, which is why I got the H4e.

I separate them like this - spring and summer, I'm either crawling/rock bashing, or driving the tires off my "M" class. Fall and winter I drift, so they all get driven, just not all at once.

Yah, I'm just waiting for the boxes to arrive! It's like 12 noon now, so maybe a couple more hours (I checked tracking.....they should arrive today)!

I'll get started on the build as soon as it arrives. I'll start the thread maybe tonight or tomorrow!

Well, then...That means the entire steering assembly is altered.

This really wasn't that big a deal, but thanks for the pic.

The steering assembly is not altered, they are overdose steering linkages on the standard platform.. They just manover slightly differently than the standard ones. I know it's not a big deal but when I know I'm right I usually am

Cs junkies say a combination for cs'ing could be 16- 18- 15- 39 but I'd rather have 18- 20-13- 39
