Had no problems with reinforced tape, just make sure to round the edges of little carbon battery holder plates.
Change tape every 4/5 packs to be safe, mainly due to dust when blowing car clean |

Zero issues until it decides to let go of your battery in the middle of the main !!! I don't trust them at all; loose top carbon strap holding down a battery that can't move side to side and back and forth is the best solution to me so far ! I went from last in a main to a third place finish because most of the other racers had their batteries fall out, after changing their tape for the main ...Wow....what a waste.....Www

If you want a shorter wheelbase (1mm) put a 1mm shim at the back of front hinge pin and at the front of rear hinge pin.
Hope this answers your query. |

olly do u mean put a shim on both ends of the a-arm at the front and the rear as well. on ure set up sheet u have 1mm wheelbase did u make the wheelbase shorter by putting a 1 mm do u know what i mean
then you can have a shim either at the front or rear, if you look at a set up sheet it is fairly well explain, they take the front shim for front and rear shim for rear to give you a spacing measure, then match up another shim on other side of arm so that there is no play. |

Well it depends how short you want it, the shorter would be no shims at all on front of rear arm and at rear of front arm.

ok i got u so on ure set up sheet u got 1 mm wheelbase where did u put the 1mm shim on the a-arm on both side or just one side of the a-arm. if u put it on one side only what size did u use on the other side. im sorry just confussed
r u running short wheelbase or long wheelbase sorry olly There is a total space of 3mm all together, so if you use 1mm (as of setup sheet) then you have 2mm on the other side. It might happen that you need to put a very fine shim (metal) if you have too much play but the arm should be "loose" long or short wheelbase depends on your track, use shorter wheel base for tight twisty track and longer wheelbase for long fast track. |

Hey bunny, swap your shims already, see how it works for you

The setup sheet shows where wheelbase adjustment is. They are not easy to recognize, so I marked it in yellow, so you can see where it is.
