Narrow the front track width and you'll get a little more front grip/steering. Widen the rear track width and you'll get a little less rear grip and more on power steering. So it's gonna change the car a lot depending on the rest of your setup. I've tried different track widths front and rear on both of my 2012 cars, it's a fairly significant adjustment on this car, IMO.

What do you think the difference is in narrowing on the inside/Hagberg style vs. using narrower hexes outboard?

I upgraded to alu shocks too.
They feel better. But most important for me: they are much more forgiving on curbs which is nice on our tight indoor carpet track.

They should survive crashes. Only once a friend of mine had a brocken shock body. But this is one case in over 3 years. So dont bother about this.

I've had my first two training days and I must say the car is superb to drive, the problem being the pins in the joint came loose two times in 6 batteries resulting in them rubbing the plastic (hope you understand the problem?). I have now flattend them as someone posted before, so I hope it will work now.

Hit a stumbling block while completing my build yesterday.... One of my drive shaft isn't threaded. The others are ok...
Kinda made me lol a bit before realising I'd have to wait longer before getting my car on the track... T_T

Yep... It's unfortunate. And the build was going so smoothly too. Just my luck these days...
