typically i run on low-medium grip asphalt here in sydney.

before i go out and spend the coin,would the advice be to go straight to the 1.6 / 2mm flex option from xray or stick with the kit chassis? aside from a lack of turn-in (which apparently the 12 spec is an improvement on), the 11 spec goes ok so i would rather not spend the extra coin if i'm not going to be happy with the upgrade.

looking forward to your thoughts.

In saying that it appears to be personal preference, as some of the guys have done just as well with the standard chassis.

Might be also worth Noting Lemieux ran the thin chassis and thick top deck at last weekends pre worlds. He is also a big fan of the thin thick combo.

Best of luck

With previous T3's I used to leave it off in 17.5 etc to allow more rear flex but running mod I feel the gear mesh at mod rpm requires more rigidity to maintain good gear mesh. Thoughts on this ? Does anyone notice a handling difference on the '12 if the screw is left out ? Any gear mesh issues ?

To clarify this is the screw from the bottom of the chassis , its centered in the chassis , holds the black L shaped "bracket" between the motor mount and the carbon fiber chassis .

So Defcone , you are implying you notice a difference of added rear traction without the screw or were you just making a general statement ?
