As far as front ends i think crc sells a complete new style front end, but i dont know if he includes the updated castor blocks, but they are under $3 (but they make a huge difference in how well the front end works, alot better mold quality) for around $40(?)

BTW as far as bodies, the thick body will steer more (and trust me, you do notice it) than a thin body due to the extra weight, so just keep that in mind.
thanks for the info. I already run an L4 on carpet but I have always wanted the YRX-12(....idk, I guess im a fan of yokomo) One of our local fast 12th scale racers said he tried the yok chassis on his L3 and he didnt notice a difference.
