I don’t really like the feel of the shocks, so I was trying to fit Xray’s in it. Then I had a thought of using the Xray ULP (2018/2019) shocks with the ULP shock towers. I could make the towers fit, but the length of the shocks are off. So back to the bench, and work on rebuilding the original shocks.... if I can’t to the feel I like, i may just put a set of Xray SLP shocks in it.

Just wanted to post up here.
We are stocking these cars and parts in the US at scale speed. We have been running and racing the cars this summer on asphalt with success and are starting to test the indoor black carpet stuff now. This car has proven to be very good so far.
On pavement in 21.5 touring we have been running blue rear springs as the only major change on the cars.

I did some testing with this car over the Summer and must say it works pretty good on pavement....not as good as my Yokomo but it was competitive
. I wish the car had normal shocks on it as I think there is a trick to building the pass through shocks that I didn't figure out. Didn't have any issues with the top deck, on pavement I think the flex options help with tuning. The one thing I will say for anyone getting this car...run it out of the box do not change anything!!!! The guy I was testing with did this and was fast right out the gate. I rebuilt my car making a bunch of changes that didn't help and in fact I think made the car slower
Now that someone is importing the car I hope to see more out at the track...I know there are at least 3 at my track.

I believe this car has some very inovative design features that stand out and make it different from the current crop of touring cars.
I have also been told the price point is very good for a track ready touring car,I know the guys have been doing some testing with the cars on black carpet and it looks very promising,maybe we will have a 4th contender in the touring car world.

Hi Guys,
We are working closely with our team drivers here in OZ to further develop the two platforms from Race Opt. The MTS T3 and the FFV3.
Below are some images of the work done and work in progress.
Battery locks with 5mm carbon stops
Solid front pivot arms using the Schumacher Mi5 pivot balls. All items available from RAB Hobbies.
Rear arms keyed to 2°, 2.5° and 3.0° with solid pivots that allow roll height adjustment with alloy or steel shims. Best OD and ID shims are 3x7x! or 3x9x! Toe adjustment is keyed into the arms.
Top plate, mid mount conversion
Mid mount chassis conversion piece.
MTS T3 long top bumper plate.
Carbon top bumper plate in place.
Pivot suspension mounted on chassis.
A work on progress mid mount chassis conversion.
Rear end mounted. This was the pre production fit to the chassis and was hand milled to fit. The new production arms now have the carbon keyed to accept the Schumacher balls to fit flush and roll centers be adjustable via shims under the ball.
3° arm fitted.
View of pivot ball fitments to arm using CA. Removal is easy as using DeBonder
These were prototype flex arms. These will not go into production.
Fitted top view.
Fitted bottom view.
Info and online details of the itmes from the link below.
