Now this may not be a bad thing for rubber tire, or from a durability standpoint, however I would think that on high grip applications with foams especially this would cause some inconsistency. My last real car was a TC3, and there were graphite composites available for lighter weight, and more rigidity. Is this something AE has on their radar, or should I just stick to my rev 5 where I know what the heck I'm talking about?

I was just wondering if the reason for going to an aluminum block in the front was to address the flexing.
If you want a decent quick fix, get TC4 caster blocks, and ream out the hinge pin hole to the same size as the TC5 hinge pin (2.5mm?). They are virtually the same except for the hinge pin hole.
