Is converting my 2016 to a 2017 a good idea & is there a big difference between the Yeah Racing carbon chassis & regular xray chassis?
#1412
among the aftermarket chassis for the T4 platform, I have tried the TDX, Yeah racing and Samix. Based on my experience (running 17.5 Blinky on asphalt), the samix chassis is the best among those I have tried and it's the chassis I used to convert my 15 to a 17.

Are the kit pills when centered all around 3 degrees toe? Running basically kit setup to start on asphalt with the aluminum chassis. Recommended toe in setting for pills on rear anyone? Thx much

Not really a big fan of YR parts myself, I have alu pieces from YR for my tamiya's since they are like 4 times cheaper, turns out the fit and finish are terrible

I bought the 17 YR equal flex chassis to convert my 16 to a 17 and remarkably the fit and finish was remarkable if not perfect..there was no difference drivewise compared to a mate's original 17. Maybe its just part dependant but they were really good.

Old CRC Ozite on a tight layout.

Box stock setup except for 2.9 front springs and my own toe, camber and droop settings. Aluminum flex chassis.

The front springs were an accident and the car was great.

I have since changed the setup to a setup I found on Petit but have not had a chance to try it out yet.
I wonder if adding in the center graphite stiffener would help, or maybe adding or changing around the screws in the motor mount or top plate would be something to try.

I hear that. I was up to 2.8 that I borrowed and still was unhappy. I made numerous changes to roll center, camber, toe, droop, and ackerman trying to get it to have some rear grip. I want to try a softer rear sway bar and springs but I worry about too much differential in stiffness from the rear to the front. There is always the possibility that it is too soft in the rear. I have seen some setups with stiffer rear springs than front.

Generally on high bite gray carpet I would look at making the rear of the car stiffer. Less flex, maybe a 2.6 rear spring or a 1.4 rear bar or higher rear roll center would help. If the car is too free on entry you can try thicker rear diff fluid. I have found 7 or 8k to be best on carpet for stock but that could make the car a little more aggressive on power.
Hope that helps.
