Has associated thought about the possibilty of aluminum rear hubs and steering knuckles?

Do they offer aluminum shims ? or will the xray shims be fine for raising up the links

Hope this helps.

Also add a set of .5mm and 1mm axle shims to space the wheels out.

I dont know if they plan on doing some alumn parts or not but with the popularity of them on carpet I am sure they will look at the possibility now that the car is hitting the market.

Xray ones will work or AE 31286 is an assortment of blue alumn washer's for this.

There were words in there??!!

Ran the car today just to get everything loosened up and tested for proper alignment, electronics check, etc before going to the Reedy race. Finished the last 20% sitting track side but got to run none the less and everything was great. Ran a diff in the front just to get on the track, but even with it the car was very nice on the track.

Asphalt racers, make sure to buy a shock piston kit, as the kit comes with #3's, and many set-up sheets will probably include #2 pistons.

Thanks in advance.

The camber link washers are 31286. Its an assortment of blue washers 1-3mm. AE doesnt make wheel hex washers that I know of. Tamiya and HPI are the only ones.
