the material the tub is made out of seems like a hybrid of plastic and graphite.. its black like plastic.. but i can see slivers of material like in the graphite tubs for the TA04. im gonna race the car on sunday.. and probably finish building it in the next few nights. ill let you know how stiff it gets after its completed. im gonna try to somehow use the upper deck from EvoIII SE, although i dont know if that'll be TCS legal. its a great lookin car right now.

they're not upside down. the droop screws just arent in all the way. those are the stock settings from the manual.

If you were going to compare it to a Tamiya car I would say it flexes slightly more than the original EVOIII. (my 04R is stiffer than the TB02)

anyway to incorporate the upper deck from an EvoIII/SLE to those plastic caps at the end of the tub? i know it'll weigh the car down, but wont that help stiffen it up?

With the hop-ups added it is about as lite as you can make it and still be legal for TCS racing in the states...but not exactly feather weight chassis
