odpurple,

I always thought spring steel T-bar only good for oval car... is that good on 1/12 road car? I never tried that out. I have a YRX-12WE too, what do I need if I want to have the same T-bar as yours? Need different pivot sockets?

Also, you trimmed the two mounting holes away on the rear upper plate and relocated to closer the center? What is the reason for that? You prefer the damper tube rather than the stock pressure disk system?

If you glued the axles in the blocks then they would be usable but with the different bearings and all I don't think there's any reason to use them.

I also put an AE tbar on the car because the Yokomo ones were harder to get (the pivot sockets are different). Later I switched to a Silva spring steel tbar so no more broken tbars!
