There are limitations when it comes to reinforcing a thermoformed product.

From a making it stand point they start with a flat sheet of a given thickness and then heat it up and suck it into a mold to make the body. Because of that you really can't make certain area's "thicker" then others. How you mold the body can cause thinner spots or you can add features to the body to make certain areas stronger depending on the contours and such but at the end of the day you kind of get what you get and in this case it is a lexan body that gets slammed on by a 6lb truck going 30+mph over and over and over again.

Casper, will the new Ti coated hinge pins fit the stock blocks or since they are 59mm, do you need the adjustable blocks.

They should work just fine with the stock blocks as well.

if the body is tearing up stop crashing so much. lol spoken from experience. Heard some people use extra body mounts to stop body from flexing when on roof.

Kind of strange, people buy all this lightened stuff then add ounces right back with shoo goo and tape. I really don't mind getting a new body with a fresh paint scheme every once in a while, feels like a new truck!

Gear is packed for a track day tomorrow, hopefully my SCTE shows up at work tomorrow. Then it's just bind and bash!!! Any advice for a newbie other than to drive the wheels off it?

Get around the track slowly without crashing over and over. This will gradually lead to you being fast without crashing. Go all out before you have learned car control and it will never come.

Umm, thanks, but I am a pretty good driver, not to toot my own horn. Think I can handle a SCTE on 2 cell......
