Interesting. I thought I was crazy, but I also noticed what I felt was a slight loss in traction after going alum / alum on both rear pieces. I think I might switch back to "stock" rear hubs and keep the alum rear camber ballstud mount, as I haven't had any breakage on the rear hubs at all.

Check the b5 nation fb page. Someone just posted the weight change.

I believe it was very minor. 62 % on the rear prior and 60% after. (Ive rounded to what I can remember)

Keep the alloy hubs because they
allow more tunability with the vertical stud .

Does anyone have the link to the b5 nation Fb page. I can't seem to locate it.

Bfast sells the same caged thrust assemblies. There $17.99 for pair. I'm sure that bfast, Casper, and avid all buy them from the same place tho

Just what I said earlier...I have both the Casper and the Avid, and they work equally well. Next Bfast order I make, I'll order their version of the caged thrust to try.

Just looked it up. Interesting that there was only a small % change. Also fascinating that the guy who did it owns a $800 set of scales!

My car went from 61.4% rear stock, to 60.4% inline. I did mine a little different than WC as you can see a few pages back.

Got a chance to run a few packs tonight, small medium traction clay. It didn't feel like it lost much rear traction. It changed direction sharper and didn't over rotate. I gained some high speed steering, but felt like I lost a little on the low speed 180's.

Overall I like the inline car, I'm going to get another cradle and cut it like WC did his and see if there is any difference.

I noticed te same thing what are they looking for with the rm front arms and I think the shock tower. I know the geometry is different but what's different feel wise

1% is a big difference. You have to move your battery pack around quite a bit to get 1%. Not only are you adding 1% to the rear of the car you are taking 1% off the front. This is a generalization not WC's modification. He changed the whole weight of the car which is another story.

I thought you had 25% less side bite with the alloy hubs??? Why would you run with that???

I think that was the hard arms.

More rear bite, drives more square with the RM arms flipped. On the front it smooths out the steering.
