Anyone know how long it takes to get a chassis back from AE?

Hey guys got a quick question: I'm a long time offroad guy that is going to on road and getting a TC5F but see that they have parts marked as hard, could someone explain the difference between regular parts and the ones marked hard (meaning why would I need the hard and not regular).
I'm only planning on (for right now) racing on carpet if that matters

When you buy spare parts for the car, you have the choice of choosing the hard or regular (soft). I personally run the soft because I'm still a pretty novice driver and tend to hit the barriers a lot.

1. Changing the camber link from inside to outside increases the length of the camber link, which should result in less camber gain when the car is in the corner. The conventional thinking seems to be that a longer link provides more grip, but as for all things RC setup related it will be dependent on a number of other factors, specifically your inner camber link.
2. The main difference is that with a mixture of hub toe and shims, you have smaller angles in the CVD joint, say 1.5* where the driveshaft meets the diff outdrive and a further 1.5* angle in the hub. Whereas if you only have 3* hubs the driveshaft and outdrive connection will be straight and there will be a bigger angle at the hub. So
Question is then whether it is best to spread the angles out between the 2, since it makes sense to me to minimise angles but also makes sense to have thedriveshaft straight into the outdrive.
In the end though for handling they both provide the same toe, so the only difference might be some extra driveline friction.

1. Changing rear hub camber mount A (inner) to B (outer) - improved rear traction over the length of a run. Very consistant from start to finish of the day, I reccomend you give this a try if your looking for traction with rubber tires on asphalt.
2. Changing from 0 degree to 1 degree rear hubs (while maintaining 3 degree rear toe) - no noticeable difference yet. Car has good top end and rear traction either way, no real difference in temps. I'm going to continue a few more trials and see if I can spot a possible advantage. Anyone else had any experience running different degree rear hubs ??
