I am really interested to hear what parts people are breaking on their cars,
I seem to have the totally opposite experience to most people here in that my YRF has been totally unbreakable
So far i have only broken 3 items in about 8 months of use,
In 1 big accident i broke an axle and a steering arm, full speed on the straight, just hit a protruding pipe at the wrong angle, my fault for being that wide.
Similar accident to above but only broke a link alloy ball.
I haven’t had any front end parts break on the wide and narrow front end, and the car gets raced every week, so plenty of driving time.

As evochick mentioned in her earlier posts, yes any rear wing will work. But, only Yokomo and Kyosho front wings will work. I highly suggest the Kyosho front wing. It's wide and you can choose between two different types of downforce.
The kit is well worth the money and the parts and finish are great.

Ride height, I don't know, haven't driven it yet. I was going to start at 6mm front and 7mm rear like my F104v2 Pro, but I'm open to suggestion. I'm new to pan car setup and have a lot to learn. We have a bumpy track - cracked asphalt parking lot with asphalt sealer to smooth it out. I've been referring to your setup sheet as a guide, and was going to start with 5mm front/rear. Any thoughts?
First of all, those grub screws are meant to adjust the suspension arms up and down travel. The grub screws limit the movement of the carbon arms. Not for ride height.
Ride height can be adjusted by adding or removing spacers from the main bulkhead screws, or flipping the spacers around on the kingpin.
If you're running narrow then it should be 5.5 mm measured from the top.

For clarification: So can you use tamiya F104 front wings with little or no modification?

here so there is photo proof so everyone can stop asking,
F2012 front and rear wing fitted, no major modification needed to the wing mount, just a small amount needs to be removed at the back of the front wing, otherwise a good fit.
Trying the kingpin front end tomorrow for the first time
