Reedy set ups
On the Reedy set up sheets it mentions
"rear u brace" and "carbon u brace" Are these separate parts? What are the part numbers.
Also the "aluminum steering" is that the avid upgrade all are doing?
Thanks.

1. Increased flexibility with other makes/brands of front wheels when using the 12mm Hex (and the "suggestion" that this will indeed become a standard for all buggies in the future, but that is obviously debatable).
2. If you are changing front tires frequently, it eliminates the need to remove the bearing from the wheels each time (removing them eventually wears the bearing carriers in the front wheels), or prevents you from needing multiple sets of front bearings for multiple front wheels.
I too asked the same questions. I switched to the JConcepts Hex pieces; they are nice and do their job just fine.

I know it has been asked before but I want to ask it again.
Is the longer chassis gonna make this thing a lot easier to drive?
I drove on a outdoor track that was a little loose and this thing was a handful to drive. I kept having to loosen the slipper, take off e.p.a. on the transmitter, etc to keep it from spinning the tires and getting all squirrely. I really want the stability.
Everybody and their mother is going to 22's around here.

The two resounding pluses that were explained to me are as follows:
1. Increased flexibility with other makes/brands of front wheels when using the 12mm Hex (and the "suggestion" that this will indeed become a standard for all buggies in the future, but that is obviously debatable).
2. If you are changing front tires frequently, it eliminates the need to remove the bearing from the wheels each time (removing them eventually wears the bearing carriers in the front wheels), or prevents you from needing multiple sets of front bearings for multiple front wheels.

The Wing
Hi All,
Buggy noob so I'm going to ask the stupid question. I built my Worlds car and noticed there is alot of play in the wing. I have the shim under the wing on the mount so that the skinny end is forward but with that much play, the wing seels nearly useless. I know you want a little play so that it doesnt rip to shreds on the first rollover but mine is rediculously loose. Any input is appreciated.

If you want to save a couple of bucks, make the car super easy to drive....put a T4.1 chassis on it AND it legal, the car will fit in the "box" and make weight.
The t4 chassis does make it alot easier to drive but have you actually measured it? I measured mine and it is 4mm over max roar length.
