I too had this problem with my last body. This time around, I actually lost the wing in the trimming/painting stages, and just decided to run without it. I don't notice a difference in the way it drives. 8.5 turn motor on indoor carpet, offroad.

Do you still have the stock gull-wing front arms on your truck?
That may be the real issue and not the chassis?

I tried running the new x rings and all the oil came out!! Ughhhh annoying. Does running the black shims in between the orings work? I tried it with the stock white shim things

No I switched to the .1 arms and tower pretty quick after getting the truck. I probably could've tuned the shocks to the chassis but it was bad enough I just put the plastic one back on. A very noticeable difference in handling.
Also/FYI, Apex models UK said the CT4.2 kit should be available in September. I ordered the chassis, shock tower and side braces. We'll see if I get them before September.

Ok, cool
Any word if the centro will have an aluminum chassis?
That would be sweet!

Hey guys, so changing out the t4.2 front arms to the .1 arms will make the truck have less aggressive steering?

If so, what do i need to to change other than the .1 arms? Shock tower? Caster blocks? Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks in advance.

Just the 4.1 front tower and front arms, much much nicer to drive and jumps better too
