As far as I am aware they are the same

The Mi2 arms are carbon fiber but have less materian than the Mi3 arms, so they flex slightly more. The med flex Mi3 arms use the same amount of material as the stock arms but are made from a softer material. I actually thought they felt a bit inconsistant because of how much they flex and prefer the Mi2 CF arms over them.

Thanks Randy...'cause I already had the MI2ec arms on (did the sway bar mod) & was hoping I didn't have to change over

picked up the lipo plates last night from verndog, i was going to post a couple of pictures but my laptop took a dump and the new one i bought is vista and my digital camera program won't load. the bottom plate along with the core lipo does touch the bottom of the bulk heads but can be squezzed into place, however, i'm thinking this is gonna change the handling as it affects the chassis flex. i see about getting them up to jaybee for a picture or figure out a new program for the camera.

its amazing what you can find when you read the directions'...

hope these turn out ok.

in the picture with the two pieces, the piece on the right is cut out so you can add weight behind the bar before attaching. with my car i didn't need to add weight, i placed the bar to the inside of the battery, and installed the battery with approx 1/8 inch hang over on outside of chassis and it was balanced right to left. as you can see in the one picture it does hit the bulkheads, anyone think that removing about 1mm or so will have any effect on the flex.

Picture this...the 1* rear hubs would have let you enter the tamiya track sweeper without lifting and keep two wheels on the inside paint without full steering lock...you have to try them.
