Its a marketing gimmick ;P

Although if anyone from HB is listening, what would be really good is carbon graphite bulkheads. Assuming the carbon graphite is strong enough, although i reckon the carbon graphite parts which HB/HPI make are the best around!

I keep meaning to put the plastic bulkheads from the S back onto one of my cars to lighten it up a little and see if it effects the car much.

Hopefully, this will be an easy question: I picked up a used WCE and I noticed that the left front CVD bone pushes very deeply into the spool drive cup. I tried to put in the one way and it was even worse. It seems that the front pulley assembly is not exactly centered and the left bone winds up being a tad too long. Any suggestions?

there's no bling-bling with the graphite bulkheads.

I was going to but found out the 5 Cell chassis is designed for the Clone S.... the front bumper mounting is not the same as the Clone WCE. I don't see the front bumper on your car... is it a real problem to mount? Or can it easily be modified to fit the Clone WCE?

I have the WCE and it fits without any mods... front bumper fits fine.

To my knowledge the front bumper on the S the WCE and Pro 4 are all pretty much the same. If i recall correctly there is an extra bit which goes from the top of the bumper to the top of the bulkhead on the S but thats all i recall that could be different.
