To move the right set you need to do somthing with the servo, what you guys think. Anybody tried anything like this or at least thought about rear bias to weight distribution.

That is a pretty cool idea, but have you run it that way yet? I would be somewhat concerned about the transponder wires may move around upon crashing and then may start rubbing on the belts.

From what I can tell, and why I purchased the XRC chassis, Xray mills out the servo mounting area and a few other key places, where as it looks like BMI just removes material where the bulkheads go.

The only problem I was told about the Jwerks Racing Concepts screw kit, is it doesnt come with the 2.5mm screws to hold the wheels on!. Where can I get some for the wheels, since I think the chrom on the black washer would look HOTTT!

The RCScrewz stainless screw kit is awesome. It comes with all the screws on the car and I had just under half the box left when I was done replacing all the screws. You get more that $22 worth of screws. Great way add weight to your FK to bring it up to weight.

where to get BMI chassis ??
Are you sure the graphite used in BMI chassis is better quality than in XRC ? could you describe it ?

Look in my sig or go to BMI thread. Jason is a great guy to deal with. The easiest and fastest way to have your questions answered is to call them directly.

But if i remember correctly, stainless screw is made out of mild steel.
I happen to use stainless screw before on my EVO2, and it is easily stripped if it happens to be very tight. You would have problems removing it.
