Well, I have never run any other after market chassis other than the BUMP, but I have to say it is a nice improvement over the stock one all around. I have been running mine at Mike's Hobby shop in Porter, TX and she is nice and level in the air over their huge triple. Right now I run the TLR chassis brace in the rear but I may switch to the stock one. Anyways, one more +1 for the BUMP, not to mention, you can get the TLR kit and Bump chassis from nitrohouse.com for $189... Can't go wrong there.

Keep it Trolling.
I must say I think most people are smart enough to realize that nearly every post on a "forum" such as this is opinion, if not then I think there are bigger problems to deal with.. LOL. It is very easy to figure out facts though within the post.

This is the best chassis I've ever owned its better than all other versions (opinion).
The holes don't line up properly and I had to drill it out just to make it fit (fact).

See this is easy Take away for said post? +1 for someone liking the given chassis -1 for the fact there is a chance of manufacturing issues, *mental note, further research needed. See fun for all

That said, as a avid researcher of RC products and upgrades I love as many opinions and experiences to be posted on any given product as I can find. These opinions and experiences you are complaining about are posted in the correct forum and in the correct thread and if you don't agree with them you have the right to disagree, post your personal experience or opinion as well.

The thread, the hobby and certainly the world isn't coming to an end because of this All this whining about people posting this information is more retarded than the people posting it. Get over it, skip the post or block the user if you don't want to read it. No one is forcing you..

Sorry my 2c

HA!

BTW: I use Zap Z-42. It holds better than Locktite 242 and stays on the screw for multiple cycles. Got that tip from the heli guys.

Im running a RX8 esc with a Tekin SCX4 4.5 and my system seems to be getting a litle to hot after 5 minuted or so and my battery is only lasting about 5 minutes. My drive line is smooth with no binding and the only thing I can think off is the RX8 I bought used on here is set up to strong. Any suggestions on a set up for my RX8 when my programer comes in?

King Headz just released two rear chassis braces, stock length and extended.

umm your motor is the problem. The sc4x motors sucked and would always heat up. I've had the 4.5 and the 5.5 and yes I geared correctly.

You don't mention which pinion gear you are using. I'd start with a 14T.

As for the RX8, 50% max timing advance, 80% current limiter, everything else is personal preference.

Is the surface a little slick? You're running pretty light oils and I notice that trucks are sliding around the corners. You try that at my track right now and you'd be on your lid.

This is the track I usually run at and started 6th and got to 3rd in the s section then was good but as the race was going my motor screw was coming loose and notice a loss of power each lap(the light orange truck): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUN2i...eature=channel
