So far, in several weeks of practice and Spec class racing, I have broken 1 front body mount [B13] and 2 axle carrier/steering knuckles [A7]. I am building an impressive set of A & B bag parts, most of which will never be needed. Long term, the solution is to stay off the boards,
, and I am doing much better than when I started.
I think I have found a source for just the body mounts but the A7 steering knuckle seems only to be found in the A bag. I cannot substitute any after-market hop-ups according to Spec rules, which are quite strict.
The A7 part has two holes. The outer one is for the steering arm. The empty, inner hole is where the breakages seems to occur. Has anyone had any luck with filling that hole to strengthen it and minimize breakage? If so, do you use a screw? or ??
Alternatively, I may switch to using the inner hole for the steering arm, if I don't lose too much steering. Has anyone tried this?
