Hey there just wondering has any body had a problem with the jconcepts sc10 body brace? Mine just got a huge crack in it and I never had a crazy crash or tumble since putting it in. Pretty *&^% where the first run of them made weak? Or did I just get unlucky yet again ;(

Yes; we made an adjustment to the mold and they will be released after the Worlds

I've only seen one crack and it was from a really bad crash off a big triple.

Is there a way to make double dee's for 1/10 buggy have a flatter profile? I have seen pics of them on B4's with a flatter profile. I am not sure if there is a way to cut the foam or is that done with closed cell inserts?

It's all on how much foam you stuff in the tire. Overstuffing causes a rounder profile. I start with a 3/4 rear foam, if I want a flatter carcass, I cut the foam until I get the tire where I want it.

Yes the closed cell gives it a little bit of a flat profile...

No; it was a running change on the mold. If you are looking at the body, you will see two notches in the roll-bar to clear the body clips.
