I would like to try higher roll centre in the rear, so i put the gearbox in the mill and made this mod 2mm lower.
I will try it in next weekends race on a high grip carpet track.

Interesting idea although I've been struggling for rear grip in the most part as it is.

Me too. But i had a good lesson in setup advice this weekend, and saw it with my own eyes.
A guy drove his 410 on a high grip track, the rear end was very loose.
I'm not good at setups, and my thought had been to loosen the rear up. What he did was the opposite. He put on harder springs, thicker oil and raised the rear roll centre, and the car was planted on the track!
The explanation of that is to get the chassis to roll less, then it keeps the pressure on all 4 wheels, instead of just the outer wheels. It gives you an overall more contact to the surface, and stops the car from roll to much and "getting stucked" in corners.
On a low grip track you want the opposite.

This was a 410, but i'm sure the theory is the same on a 2wd.

The 410 has (/ had ??) problems with having lower quality bearings.

How are the 210 bearings that are included in the kit ?

I have removed the camber link mount from the gearbox and made a new carbon one with extra holes also this can be mounted lower than the standard mount! I will up load a pic tomorrow.
