Pretty sure it is and the only difference is its threaded on one side to hold the pin for the steels caps.

Unhappy

Just talking to some guys over on the VFS1 thread, do you guys think my speedo is sticking out too far over the chassis? It's only a 1/4". -JB

JayBee- the bones are no weaker than standard bones. Just drilled on the very end for a set screw. I don't think a 1/4" is major. You could put some kind of a white line on it if you wanted and check to see if it is rubbing through the corners. If you are running at like 3mm ride height then it might be close in the corners.

Yeah I bashed a tube in on my V2 as well. I guess it is just unusual cause motors have been inside the chassis in the past. I think you will find damage to most motors but usually you can fix it up ok. The hassle is the brush shunts being ripped apart.

Hey cookie... saw and hacked abott on the weekend (kinda my mistake) but didn't see you!

Not surprised you didn't see me! As I was at TFTR club day racing! Awesome fun :-)

Can't wait to Winter Champs, only 2 weeks now! Will be awesome! Especially to see Hara, Karn and Teemu going flat out!

the boxes will fit a electric touring car with the body on easily, in case anyone was wondering...
I got one of the Hauler bags last week....Perfect size! Only wish it had a shoulder strap as well.

Greetings,

What does the updated thrust bearing look like (color, shape?). I remember reading somewhere that there was one version that failed fairly easy.

New one is copper or brass colored and double caged. The bad one is silver colored.

Hey guys I raced my car outdoors on a med bite track and I experienced some roll problems with the car. I'm running 60/40 wt oil, low roll center frt/rear and my camber links are mounted all the way out on the lowest hole. How would you guys try to controll the roll, would you do it roll center, suspension or with swaybars. By the way, those of you that run on asphalt do you use the swaybars??
