What didnt you like about the shocks?
#4914
Why would they put gullwing arms on a carpet car? You already have TONS of steering. On the B6 platform, they put gullwing arms to "smooth" out steering response. Just wondering if anyone has tried both and what your thoughts are?

tracks i race at, AE racers use gullwing arms on B6 for ozite. they do not switch to the flat ones, on dirt tracks the top B6 racers, mostly have switched to gullwing and i asked. i was told they smooth out steering, you get a longer dampening range without excessive droop. the YZ2 racers are mixed on carpet, some run flat arms the car comes with flat, some stay with those, some switch to gullwing. the new 22 4.0 has some serious bend gullwing arms, the Schumachers too that i have seen, to the point they make the AE and Yokomo gullwing arms look they are flat

XB2 & XT2 Brass Rear Lower Suspension Holders - Narrow
• Lowered CG
• Additional weight
• Improves traction
• Increases stability
• Quick & easy geometry setting
• I.S.S. ™
Optional brass rear lower suspension holders for the rear suspension provide additional weight down low to improve traction and stability while lowering the car’s CG. Narrower design increases car’s rear roll and generates more traction.
The suspension holders feature Integrated Suspension Settings™ (I.S.S.™) which allows for quick & easy suspension geometry setting. This XRAY concept was first introduced in the original XB8 and has been carried over to the 1/10 scale XB2 and XT2.
XB2/XT2 suspension geometry can be completely adjusted using eccentric suspension bushings inserted into suspension blocks, as well as using additional suspension shims.

i think the narrower rear holders let the car roll more in the corners, which means more grip. the way i always think of it is this..
imagine a tree. and if your at the base of the tree, holding it up.. the farther out your feet are, the easier it is to hold up.. vs.. if your feet were right at the base.. it would be easier for the tree to roll over.
similar for shocks.. the more vertical your shocks are.. more grip.. more roll..
this is just my cheesy way of thinking of it..

so as a newbie I'm probably better with the standard brass suspension holders
