Probably won't see parts pipeline open up for several more weeks. I think most of us have a few parts we want in our box.

Default Aluminum upper shaft swap
Swapped out my upper shaft tonight.

The aluminum one weighs 5g, the one in the kit weighs 13g.

That's good savings, when MIP hits with pucks, should be able to get car down to 1500 weight for stock.

I run on high bite and I have the reedy square, saddles, and a shorty and so far my car feels the best with a shorty. I NEED MORE STEERING.... I have tried a few things to get more but nothing seems to add the amount im looking for. I love a car that is a little twitchy, just my driving style. Any help is greatly appreciated

if you can post your current setup and equipment your using then I can help you from where you are to get as much steering as you would like.

Anybody here run on a real loamy blown out track? I'm running losi step pin tires or bow ties with ribs and I'm curious if there are any setup tricks for these conditions ? Or is my best bet a med bite setup ?

Just to be clear that bumper is already off the car. I've never had a bumper cause a flip...but I have done the lawn dart a time or two. Look at my hinge pin holder...looking for some protection there. Yes if I was a better driver it wouldn't be an issue.

Still don't have my ride yet...

Now that's behind the curve...

We have some parts at Trcr & more arriving every few days.
On interest to you may be the alloy steering arms & front arm brace.

yeah, my hinge pin holder took a beating too. That is why I dont plan to put an alum one on for now. If you want to use the rpm mini bumper. I would use a heat gun and flex it up, so that it does not stick out so far, but protects the front.
