hailo all
welps here is the race report and it isnt kind first of all the alex car isnt friendly to foam tires ...... i killed 3 diff halves and like 4 spindles someone must have moved the 2x4s because i never wreck of course lol ......the spools will have to be machined from something very tuff i killed them as well ...... if you dont run on faoms or carpet you have no clue there is a ton of force when you crash on carpet especially in mod class ......next gen spools will be aluminium for sure maybe part alum and steel ..... if anyone is running an alex car on carpet plz message me for info i have found a few things that work very well and would love to find out other set ups .......on a good note the car was always turning either the fastest laps or within 1 10th of the fastest laps of any car on the track and that is good when you are the only one running a single car against the finest cars available here in the US ... have a good one and stay tuned for more info lol

Since it is blocked by the a-arm.
