Roche Rapide F1-2016
#91
Just bought one of these on an impulse buy. Going to prep it for this coming Carpet season. I really like design of the front end a LOT and the price of replacement parts is like, amazing. Xray front upper arm - $20-25, Rapide front upper arm - $7
I also really like the hollow steel axle - that's a nice touch. Stoked to build this

According to Redrc :
"Olivier Bultynck is here in Trencin running a Rapide Formula equipped with a number of prototype parts. Fitted with front and rear MonTech wings and an optional 2.25mm thick chassis plate, his car features new damper tube link positions as well as a new battery brace with a more forward positioned shock link which makes the shock longer. The front upper and lower arms are also 1mm shorter so as to make the front end 2mm narrower. "

I used some of the extra chassis holes and added 2 standoffs and a brace over the top of the ESC and reciever then changed shocks.
The shock is approx. 1.25" longer

By adding the stamdoffs to the front and i assume you built a complete upper deck over the esc and it gave you room to install the shock extension do to your cars handling?. It sounds like a very good idea to give the shock a solid foundation and taking flex out of the equation in damper support.
