I did this when I first put the car together . Haven't had one move / come out yet ! I think it is a good car for VTA racing !
And that doesn't cause binding in the arms themselves where they need to pivot freely? I'll give it shot.
Still seems odd that they'd drill and tap the front arms (front and back!! Couldn't make a near "blind" hole like the TC5, etc) for the capture screws but not the rears. Ah well. Kind of a weird oversight for such an otherwise well-executed conversion. I tell people it's the car Xray would build if Xray were building shafties.
Speaking of shafties, and to your point re: VTA, I think shaft drive and front spool are THE ticket for such a power-limited class. These put the power STRAIGHT down to the track. No muss, no fuss, no backlash...just GO!!
