Has anyone know what tweak stick is long enough for this chassis?
I got an rc maker one and its not quite long enough to reach each shock tower front and back.
Might use use a piece of dowel.

i never used a tweak stick , i just loosen the top deck and let the car sit in a glass surface and then tighten it back up , they way i figured if you need to push down the car with the stick you have a serious tweak and most likely have something bent

I want a Mi8 Aluminum but can't find one anywhere. Seems like mid September they might be available. So, I thought that I could buy the C/G version and swap out the chassis for the Krazed high bite chassis.
Was wondering if somebody has run the Krazed chassis in the Mi8 and if it's an equal replacement for the Schumacher aluminum chassis(?).
Looking for some info to help me make a decision.
I run 21.5 TC on carpet.
Thanks

They started making them when drivers asked for them and said the stock alloy wasn't stiff enough.
These were drivers running on constant grooved (think big race events)
The center flex they use helps free up the drive train meant for the Spec level classes like 21.5
I run their Flex version for low/med bite tracks in 21.5 on USGT tires.
Super smooth and very free for me. My local track Ive always considered low/med.
During a normal winter season week it gets used for oval racing and mini offroad.
We run Tuesdays and Sunday is our bigger day.
Normally traction doesnt come up until Q2 so generating traction early is important.
I would say depends on your local track and traction levels.

The High bite solid one is used a lot on grooved black carpet tracks.

Krazed Build asphalt chassis was killer at this past weekends Belt race in San Jose, CA. Held its own against the mighty A800R. If I had the Krazed arms and top deck I would be even faster as I feel his graphite is better than the kit pieces. I’m thinking of trying the HGT conversion to see how that feels in comparison.

HGT question .... the green holes are the servo mounting holes and alignment pins.
Whats the future use for the red holes?
Theyre pinned for something but nothing in the instruction manual or speed parts in the catalog.
Instructions look interesting under the servo/horn area.
Single mount servo mount + bellcrank mount for a floating steering?

I think they will have an optional servo mount that goes forward to allow a different flex between the motor and servo mounts. Like the X4 has today.
