Tried ceramics, took them out right away. I found the kit bearings to be exceptionally GOOD.

Guys are really liking the Nationals setup.....

Best way is to go drive it and test your personal changes. Need to remember that a setup from another driver rarely is the best setup for you, or your track (unless you drove at Reedy).

I wouldn't recommend ceramics for dirt for (maybe in the diff cases). 4wd cars are hard on bearings, but keep an eye on your hub bearings, especially the inner 10x15x4, its probably going out as we speak..lol
Glad you like them though, I would have replaced mine during the build had I known..

I'm on reedy 100%. I'll be on that for at least another month.

I'll have to test nats setup at that point.

No upgrades are needed. If I wanted to spend fun $, I'd get aluminum chasis.

From what I have heard and read, the aluminum chassis works good on high bite as designed. The carbon Schelle chassis is basically a longer version of the kit chassis. Which seems to me is a better option part. Asking questions from other members here is good to do, but you are still going to have to decide if this advice will pertain to you, your driving style and your local track, unless of course they run where you do. Its sorta like asking which tire is best..

I have yet to see a car with either chassis, so with just the opinions of the others who have them/used them the Schelle chassis seems more apt to work in your situation. If I had the $ burning a whole in my pocket I would go in that direction with track conditions like yours..

ok i have some christmas money so thats why i want to try a new chassis. i was leaning toward the schelle chassis also. im thinking the longer chassis would make it a bit more stable? im not positive what the effects of having a longer chassis are?
