Tell us your set-up. i.e. springs, camber, caster, shock and tweak tube oil, tires and etc.

What type of surface will you be racing on? Asphalt or carpet?

You can adjust track wide at the front from what i can see and rather easy.
It uses the same design front end(the bottum that is) as an Associated.
You can put a spacer ring between the lower arm and the bulkhead to widen the track.
The front brace isn't affected that way and if you want to go real wide, you need longer turnbuckles in the top arms.

Pic is from Associated front end but Roche uses same setup.

I recommend this kit to all Pro10 fans! the car is super adjustable... although the front end is a bit mystifying (front end tread width is meant to be adjustable, but front brace prevents this adjustment... oh well)
fit and finish is top notch! sweet cnc'ed alu and carbon galore! if you're CDO (that's extreme OCD) like me, you'll be spending a nice amount of time glueing carbon edges... cos there are a lot... a lot of carbon.
Although i'd also like to own a VIP or RCDevil car, this is the most satisfyingly complex pan car (read as well designed... except the front end tread adjustment).

Was kinda hoping for CRC to come out with a 235mm kit by now. From my calculations, they would have to make all of 3 new parts: extended 3mm front plate like the genxt10SE but wider that lines up with the 6 holes on the genx10rt chassis or the 4 holes on the genx10se chassis, an extended left side hub (extended right side hub already exists from Battle Axe), and a longer front end brace. Every other part can be sourced from existing their 1/10 and 1/12 scale kits, voila 235mm kit. Unless of course a wider rear pod or new aluminum chassis is in order. I mean you could redesign a whole new car, but seriously, 3 new parts would do!

You also say "Yes use the front parts of this kit and put the rear extenders to the bin... Buy an IRS axle instead!"

That's a very interesting point!
It is always a dilemma for me... I'm not what are the pro and the cons of the system...
where you are fixing the front suspension directly on the chassis, it means that you have to provide some "spacers" to adjust the ride height... But I also suppose that if you are cutting your own chassis, you can cut your own "spacers" :-)

I can use the same spacers on all the chassis i am running at the moment.
This because i use the Associated R5 based front suspension on all of them.
This provides me too use less different spare pars but it is useble on all chassis.
