The McFactory chassis was good this weekend at the Mile High Indoor Champs in Denver. Thanks for the good stuff!

Thanks, just so people know what to expect - I started the race on stock carbon and the car was really good, had some issues with it wanting to double steer on the high bite and not stay quite as flat in the corner. Put on the new McFactory chassis and the car got a lot more linear and easy to drive. It didn't want to over rotate anymore and it also stayed flatter in the corner. All in all it was an easier to drive car.

Updated CRC without the u-plate - much stronger!

On the plus side - back to easy ride height adjustments with the older style slide-in CRC shims. That's a big plus.
On the down side - one significant benefit of a u-plate is that it does use the molded bosses on the bottom of each front arm to lock it in perfect alignment, rather than relying on the taper of the flat head screws to keep the arm from getting pounded back and slightly out of alignment. IMO, much more plus than minus.

The spacer plates are still 1/4" holes for the arms to lock into and fit snug around the mounting screws so there is very little the arms can move.
