I'm not sure if the type "R" has longer arms. I guessing that they are. I don't recall if any of the guys running the car has said that they're longer. Besides you'd need a new car anyway as it has been posted in the past that the type "R" will not be a conversion car.

Just the dogbones were made longer, arms remained the same length (although we do have the long arms as well) I'm no engineer either, I just know that putting in the narrow diffs made the car feel much smoother. It felt like in places the car would normally spin out, it had traction. SoCal raceway is a track where one-ways usually work best, with this car I am able to use double one-ways, and still use a lot of brakes around the track without doing donuts.

I believe there will be EA3 material arms made to work with the old car, and they are definately very strong.

As you guys said, it is going to be a carpet ready kit....
Is it going to be as good for asphalt as it will for carpet?

I'm sure if you just lock up the front diff into a spool, or get a 1 way, it'll be just as good on asphault

In one of Rcca's last issue was Todge's car. There was a pic othe top motor plate with two metal thread inserts. Looks like an option for a electric fan. Will this be incorporated into the kit? That top plate looks like a perfect place to put one. Directly over the motor.

I would like to vote against using ea3 stuff on this car.

Please.

I wont get into details as of why, but I think it would be a mistake.

EricF

If you're not going to go into why, then "why" would you post that statement?

An opinion without justification is a waste of everyone's time.

The EA3 arms have been on our cars for a few months now without any problems, it is definately stronger than graphite, and provides a bit more traction due to flexing more.

That would definately be a dialed add-on, however knowing how different the production kit is going to be, that may not be possible to do.

JBRacing - The car will be great on asphalt aswell, it will be carpet ready in the sense that it will have everything in the box to go carpet racing. This is because the kit will be released at the beginning of the carpet season

EricF - For the new car there will 2 different length arms, the short ones are the same as the current ones are .150" longer, we have found thru testing that on carpet the car is better with a long front arm and a standard rear arm. On asphalt for the most part we liked the opposite, standard front arm and long rear arm.

Andrew,

What's the feeling provided from the longer arm on the front with the carpet setup? I mostly race carpet.

Thanks,
