We'll have an interview with him on our site soon.

Phend is also using our CF front shock tower.

We also understand Frank Root will be using these parts at the Reedy Race.
Dakotah did use the X-Factory Rear Tower Brace to move the shocks to the front of the arm, and I have started to use it as well. More than anything, landing seems to be improved, as well as some corner speed improvement. Quite a bit of the team is starting to use this part as well, I'd recommend giving it a try if you're looking for a little extra performance.

This month, it was supposed to announce and fell through the cracks during the holidays. I'll get it on the site this week.

It's not the LW body, it's all the same polycarbonate from the same manufacturer. Mine ULW and LW bodies have had no issues with the paint sticking, both those painted by my painter and one-color masterpieces done by yours truly.

Tuning Haus sells some ultra thin (and light) double sided tape, this did the trick for me and was fairly easy to remove when that was required also.

I have the 3.0 SR and am 20g under weight. Some am looking for smart hop ups, Aluminum bits that may help performance or chassis stiffness so I can add functional weight.
Car runs awesome right now so changing anything makes me paranoid I'll lose that driving sweetness,lol. But gotta make weight.
I'd do the aluminum servo mount/chassis braces for sure. Other than that, I'd just add ballast low where you think it will improve the balance on the car for you and your track.
