Out of the box the kit is pretty aggressive off center and has good steering and traction. The car felt very balanced and carried more corner speed that the IF14 I was running.

I'm now testing the RTC (Rear Toe Control) as well as the motor mount plates.

Overall the car is solid.

Arrowmax also has regular flex and stiff (no cutouts) magnesium chassis for the BD9. I'm tempted to try the solid mag chassis since I prefer no cutouts on my other TC's.

I’ve run Xray springs on my car on lower bite carpet. Bottom line is that they do fit and can help you get your car setup if that’s what you’re really asking.

Xray springs will work fine. Most of us are cutting down the front eyelets about .5mm to .8mm which helps with some of the linear springs on the front to get down to ride height.

Medium grip black carpet is money with this car too. I'm running a carbon car in USGT with minimal changes to stock setup. TQ-win on Sunday.

17.5 I'm still trying to get right, but it's close. Still fast even though it's a handful to drive.

I noticed that earlier tonight, so i ordered one. I forgot to order springs though. Doh! It looks as though the front kit springs don't get used in any of the setups on petitrc.

petitrc has been acting weird for me since the weekend. I cant view any setups. Anyone else having these issues?
