I'll keep a look out for your experience with this mod, I'm building my car as we speak.

I only cut down the side guards on mine and it felt fine. I also drilled a hole in my rear arms too but now I have to much forward bite for my taste.

Here is a picture of Jared's car from SRS where you can see the chassis so now you can see how he is running his car.

Is that a traxxas receiver box?

The servo looks to be a traxxas 2075 (maybe?) As well?

So just side guards. If I feel the need to change (car is so good right now) I will. But so far its dialed for the tracks I run at. Looks like he is running the out hole on the RT6 which I changed to when I was at SRS this past weekend. Truck is planted and fast. Didnt have to change a thing for it to have the same results here at home. K cars are just better for me then anything else. My ZX6 is quite a step up from the 44.3 and my diffs will last without having to resort to gear diffs.

lol, the b44.3 is a POS. Locals are ditching them for d413s now. The RB6 is a good car for sure. How did you like SRS?

SRS was a blast. I like how high up you are from the track so there are no blind spots, and making the triple in mod ST was so gratifying. Had a very good time avoiding the Short Bus people with Traxxas Slashes with stock tires. Definitely slicks were the way to go. So much bite, any tire with a tread stunk. Got quite a few compliments, and confused stairs when I had the ZX6 out. Like they had never seen one before lol.... Was one guy there with a T5m I had hoped to throw down some laps with, but his kit wasn't complete.

I had the odd problem of the standard screws backing out from the rear arms. Broke as many of those as I would have any fronts if I was running stock front arms. Car was good, just very frustrating.
