I will usually just replace the protector when I have to get to screws. I'm a little picky when it comes to my cars though.

His chassis protectors are designed to peel and stick Mult. times. Lots of racers in my area use them with high satisfaction rates.

As long as they are not longer than 2 inches they should work i believe

anyone notice that the B5R rear arms rub on the chassis by the hinge brace? I had to shave the arms down a little in that area... Did not notice if it was making my buggy handle wierd but did not want to take that chance...

Fully interchangeable. Only the rod ends and ball studs changed.

Yes sir. Was wondering how harsh it is on the gears, and car in stock. Also, does the car wheelie and make for a more difficult drive?

I run mod but there are a lot of guys that run them with alot of success. I dont think gear wear is an issue. I mean I have never heard anyone mention it in relation to the slipper eliminator

That's what I'm curious about. Stock slipper here and it just doesn't feel...good. Plus trying to shed weight, this would help. Exotek one looks nice.

The exotek and schelle ones are both most likely very nice products. I would say you cant go wrong with either option unless the track you run on is loose or doesnt have much grip.

The only thing I don't like about that is the specific gears needed to be run. Meaning more parts I need to stick in my Pit bag for inventory. Plus, then I gotta adjust it ☺
