Yeah, that does suck. You could always change to the carbon chassis. Amain(34.99 carbon vs 22.49 composite) is showing plenty of stock there. So is Stormer(29.95 carbon vs 18.95 composite). There's also a dude that sells aluminum repair plates on ebay. Might copy that idea or order one of those if you're in a pinch.

I actually did break a bulkhead last night haha, but I'll probably just run this thing til it snaps, and hopefully AE will get it's crap together and send out some chassis to the hobby shops.

Thanks!
I would love to hear what you think.
IMO without knowing the exact production reasons the older u brace was lower but still had the height of about 1 spacer so I would think that should be the starting point. I could see even going as far as adding 2 if you sanded it flat to get close to the older style with 1 spacer (This would put you about 1 spacer below flat plastic on a new u brace)?
But I don't know and am just guessing that's why I was asking.

I am probably going to try it in the SC tonight... I know they say you dont lose steering but I would be worried about that with the b4 or t4.
I was helping someone who was running the older ground down ubrace with the newer outer A hubs... that does not work well fyi

Steering more!
I need more steering... You guys think the groovy or the scrubs tires would improve it? I'm running the FT kit tire in the front right now. If you got any other suggestions don't hesitate. Running the Cactus classic track wet.

Toe-in & Anti-squat
Ok, I am racing outdoors on a dirt/clay mixture without a blue groove. I am in the process of tearing down my buggy and looking at changing some of the stock setup. I have a couple of questions. Should I take out the anti-squat and increase the rear toe-in, to improve rear traction? I was always told to increase anti-squat to improve the traction, when I was racing dirt oval. 
Or should I change something else to increase rear traction?
