So what made people choose this over the other cars out there? Inquiring minds are curious

ARC uses resilient plastics and coupled with a reliable drive train and suspension, makes this car very consistent. It will run the same laps again and again and will not get out of shape much. I have to say the durability/stability of this car is excellent and will be great in the hands of novices. But with a few tweaks, more steering can be added for very aggressive steering. I do recommend the aluminum turn buckles and some alloy screws to reduce the weight a bit but besides that. The box kit is usually pretty dialed.

I just ordered all the upper screws from Pitbox Hobbies. Cheapest aluminum screws I found. Will let you know the quality when I get them. There site kind of sucks. When you want to buy click buy, then when it comes up as your order is when you can add quantity. Then to continue shopping you have to use your back arrow. lol Ive had light weight aluminum screws I got from integy before but the quality sucked. They strip easily and the counter sink head still protrudes past the surface.

Cool thanks Kody, I saw the video of your mod car, pretty impressive. Do you know when that car is going to be released/how much more it will be. I dont think i want to go the black route since the shocks are still plain. IDK maybe thats the route, depending on price. Thinking about coming back before IIC. but not sure yet since will have to buy those parts. Most of the new cars come with those stock now.. thanks again!

The 2015 isn't quite available to me as of right now so I pieced together a poor mans "2015" using spare parts. Mind you that I'm using the version 1 shock towers, shocks, upper camber link bulkheads, 8.5 steering plate, and a 2013 top/lower deck. The camber links aren't quite in the same positions nor the shocks the same as the "2015" but I do have the flex motor mount so all in all, its close. Outdoor asphalt testing this weekend

Yeah I figured the formula has been run before. I've had the opposite opinion about the short shocks and had a decent but not fantastic performance as I did with my Version 1 R10. So as of late I started using my long shocks and my cars are turning with more corner speed and better predictability. The suspension using short shocks didn't seem to travel like long shocks no matter what spring rates. But to each is own.
