Read back a while about DJ cutting the x-brace and trimming the brace on the left side of the car.Is that mod good for all situations or is it for certain track conditions?Does it matter if its the aluminum ot plastic one?

Sow&Steady

Its definitely dependant on the track grip and layout too. Nothing wrong with the plastic one normally but the al one stiffens the chassis which removes one variable when you're fine-tuning the car.

Just my 2 cents.

Sow&Steady

I agree, they should not be sliding out on their own accord so easily. It IS possible to remove them with a bit of hammering to replace the pins but for normal racing/driving they definitely should not be sliding out.

DJ,you mention not using front sway bar on high grip tracks,you still run the rear without the front on high grip tracks.I posted a question a few back about the x-brace mod you mentioned way back,whats your answer about cutting it,and when you use that mod?I mostly run on perm tracks no temp tracks,typically high grip.Your in Florida right???My local track is SS hobbies.

Anybody ever used this starter box and also can it be used on a 720 09 edition? Thanks

I use the X brace cut all the time. At leat till now. I gives the most amount of flex. The plastic one is good also and easier to drive. It gives less flex and also has less rotation. I know this make not make sence, but my findings are based on trial and error. As for the front sway bar, I do not use it on high bite and on low bite I usually use it. The rear sway bar is always connected.

The only issue with the X brace cut is you have to be on top of it bending. Make sure it always lines up with the top tray holes, as not to tweak the car.

Good luck,

Why do you not use the front sway bar on high bite? isn't the front sway bar better on high bite as it will take away some steering.

Im gonna run it this weekend without front sway bar,ive been using the gear diff filled with 500,000.Its almost like a solid,tried softer fronts to get more steering,will try no bar in front see if I get steering that way.Other guys here at track reccommend no front sway too.

First let me say sorry about my post. I just read it and man that was rough. I was on the phone at the same time I was writting. Guess I can not chew gum and walk at the same time.

As for the front sway bar. I think it is a style thing. For me with the high bite it makes the rear end very stable. Taking the front sway bar off allows me to still be aggressive without rolling the car over. The mith of stiffening the car in high bite is just that, a mith. IMHO

Like any adjustment, it is realative to the track and to the drivers feel. The best way to learn about this is to try it and see how it works for you and your style of driving.

So when I get my 720 I should get the plastic x brace and do your mod?
