Thank you.

Found out that the front Hudy steel driveshafts are bent 
I do not understand why would this happen (and why it shouldn't happen with new ones), since the car had little run time in it (and never crashed with it). Also, can T1 driveshafts be used and is this advisable (they are 51 mm but thinner)?

We have a group of Xray Team drivers who will be at the upcoming Reedy Race who will be providing set up info for everyone soon as well.

The T1 driveshafts do not fit the T2/3 style drive axles.

Which outdrives are you using?

Thanks Market!
