1) On a direct drive Enforcer, which side of the car should the dif adjuster screw be on? A couple of guys at my local track say the adjuster should always be on the left (or to the inside of the corner) I'd believe them but the instructions for a GBX car say it goes to the right and I can't see why there would be a difference.

2)On the new rear bearing carriers on a GBX car (the new CW part, not the Losi part) which hole do you mount the camber link in and how is it mounted. Do you put a spacer between the camber link and the carrier?
The car (GBX Enforcer) is going together pretty good but the new hub carrier is not covered in the instructions and I'd like to get it right.

Thanks for your help.

Two totally different DIFFS.

Direct drive screw is is on the left unless i think the old rayborns went on the right.

Tranny the diff screw is almost always on the right.

the inside most hole (closest to the gearbox) and I run a spacer to make sure the link stay free. Just run the screw straight down (perpendicular to the ground)

correct on the tranny car, even if the motor is set in the rear (for loose conditions)

I space it up with just enough washers to prevent it from hitting the hub carrier during upward suspension travel. Make sure you don't shim too high or you will hit the inside of the wheel with the button head screw.

Hey Keith, toss those carriers and do what ever it takes to find the old losi ones. On my GSX, never was happy with link angles untill Secor gave me a pair of those. I believe there is an aluminum option out there. If you do stay with the ones where the link goes on top, a spacer (dubro) should be used.

Diff adjustment screw left on DD car, right on tranny car.

See you on the 30th!!
