no cause its 2 piece bumper
, there is nothing wrong with the 411 bumper. i have had some real big hits, and its survived really well

I used Parma bumper and cut it a little wider to better protect the front end suspension.

yea, nothing is wrong. just want to know if I can interchange the bumper plate and use the 733's two piece bumper.

Checked mine last night and have nowhere near that much of a gap, virtually none at all. Maybe check that the standoffs for the idler gear assembly doesn't have a screw in the bottom thats pushing the assembly up. Try flipping your top deck over just to see if you get the same gap. Maybe the top deck is the bent piece?

Are these cuts to mimic the front design of the car or are they more or less deeper that that?

I run the stock foam bumper and stock plastics, but I have trimmed off that built in buffer zone on the lower plastic part. Seems like its just something waiting to bend down and drag when you don"t want it to. Looks cleaner to me this way as well.

Eerily accurate prediction. Behold:

I want to buy the brass weight
but it is too tall I think
would it be okay or should I use the aftermarket lead weight?

Mine also bent down after a bigger crash, but after cutting out the most outer "connectors" it jumped back to the original shape and I don't have any problems since that.

I solved it already, apparently the spur gear bearing holder's alum case (the one that screws to the mid block mount) is a tad taller than the block, causing the upperdeck to bend a bit. I shaved it up a bit and now the upperdeck sits flush on the motor mount block.

I did that to get more flex at the rear, which really work at my local track. But yesterday and today I tested my new 2.25mm (stock no cut), it worked exactly like my modded 2.5mm chassis. The rear end is super planted now, the on power problem that I had earlier has gone completely, I m very happy with this car, steering is aggressive and the rear is still planted.

BTW I also mod the servo plate to accept a servo saver (I m using Xray's) , I dremel the carbon plate a bit, just enough to fit the saver. So far its working very well. I just like the assurance of using the servo saver compare to not using it.


Any of you guys have used the delrin spool cup? Mine just broke after 2 runs yesterday. When I use it, the vibration when having steering input (spool) reduced a bit, which I like, but durability is not that good. Now I m back to the stock steel cup, hopefully I can get the DCJ soon.

This Sunday will be my first race with this car, hopefully everything will be ok.
