i will add on plus side.. this car is practically indestructible. After 4 years of running original and Evo, I have only broken..

1. side pod links ... changed to Aluminium and no longer a problem
2. lower arm - one time
3. rear carbon hub- stud came out

I’m not an ace driver either, I do hit things!!

Lately, my steering Knuckles are getting stuck on the stops. I’m hoping these repurposed servo mounts will stop the issue! 🤞

Is the Xray Diff shaft a direct fit for the Roche Rapide F1 EVO? I bent the shaft and roche usa doesnt have any in stock. Is there any known direct fit ?
