Never heard of them. I have had very good luck with the Protek packs from AMain hobbies. Pro-Match has a great reputation, others have had good luck with the SMC stuff. Did you mean Trak Power? Haven't heard anything regarding them either.

This:

Would stick with the standard plastic. I have never used anything from them but have heard that the aluminum isnt of the highest quality.
ok I see thank you very much for the information and help

Some of it has been good, some not (I didn't like their rear hubs for the ofna hyper 10sc but used pretty much everything else they made for the truck). The u brace comes "shaved" & includes 2 2mm spacers if you use the a tower. The only draw back I have found is if you break a ball stud (which I have done) it is a pain in the butt to get it out. I solved the problem by using very long ball studs that stick out the bottom of the brace. You could also use titanium ball studs to limit how often they break.

I liked 1 spacer in front with the shorty pack running 17.5 on carpet in a mod class.

But Matt is on the money. Give it a try and move it and see what you think. definitely one of the easier things to try.

sounds like your esc rebooted. some esc's reboot under certain conditions. I assume your referring to the rtr esc. I have never used them before, but I do know on the tekins that sometimes the wire slap the program button and the esc reboots. so people secure the wires to prevent this.

I've searched, but i haven't found a confirmed answer. With Hex conversion, is the car handling affected if you upgrade the rears only?

You can do them independent from one another or all at once. There is no difference.

I would personally say no. I drive a b4 and I like it for me, but my kid does not run a b4. I picked her up a tlr22. Its way more durable and easier to drive for a new person. And the rtr losi kit is pretty good. I comes with a 13.5 sensored motor and a descent radio. it does cost more, but the AE rtr electronics are crap and most racer replace within 3-4 months. Plus, you will like the sensored setup more.

Tossed mine in the trash. I found the extra stiffness of the brace caused multiple shock towers to break, along with my wild driving(LOL). Still drive wild but dont break shock towers with the plastic Ubrace. It also twisted a bit after a few bad tumbles which is probably why I started to break shock towers.
