What is it like for other Evo IV owners out there??? Dave?? Any ideas??

... but I would have to say my Barracuda's and Pro4 are pretty free
but a little more time with the EVO4 and it should be right up there

The kits are always evolving. There's never a final version.

OR are you planning on upgrading the bearings

Also, when you blow on the spur gear, does the drivetrain move on your car??
I think I might have chipped the bearings in a hit because I did have a shim like piece of metal on my front right universal shaft. I'm not 100% sure but it could just have been the shield.

i was thinking of placing a "T" brace in the centre found on the SD. Tech Racing has produced this similar chassis for the Evo III and its pretty stiff.
hopefully with this it'll lower the chances of chassis tweak

they are "VERY" prone to failure due to the small size
