I'm confused about the various hub lengths and how they relate to rear pod offset. I run Oval Only. If this information has allready been addressed, please direct me to it. (I also got confused using the search function) :confused:

Hey Norm, it's cool, I've been around for awhile and still get confused with the search engine ;) .

As for the hubs, the long (1.4 or 1.5) right side hubs are for off set pods only, and at the same time, you'll need the short (.5) for the left side to get your wheel in close enough.
The short right side is for standard pod location, and then you can use the longer left side hub (generally I just space the small hub .250)

If that doesn't make sense, let me know and I'll try again :thumbsup: .

Keeping the overall rear wideth at 7 7/8 inches will help you out too. Longer diff hub, use a shorter left side hub. Shorter diff hub, use a longer left side hub.http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/images/icons/icon10.gif
