I use it most of the time. In theory it would add more corner speed and handle bumps a bit better. I like it. I drill a hole and add about one oz just behind the chassis brace.

Do you mean the inner hinge pins? I haven't heard of any new hinge pins for the rear hubs..

yes, I thought I read about new rear hinge pins for the hubs that used inserts for adjustments? Maybe I was mistaken

I haven't heard or seen anything. Certainly would be nice. I was hoping that Agama would release some CNC rear hubs, but maybe they're working something besides just a clone of the plastic part. Perhaps, something like what the Xray guys have available to them:

Well, I haven't had any problems with the stock Agama rear carriers either, but if they came out with some sharp looking CNC ones, perhaps with the plastic insert for the bearings like the Xray - I like that idea - I would definitely have them on my car.

Even if they didn't have any form of adjustment on them - I am having a hard enough time trying to keep track of what all the adjustments do already

Thanks a ton to Agama for sending me to the race, had a blast and felt good to race again. And to Jamie Grayek for all the help, Our setups are pretty close and both of our cars were pretty good all weekend, he had some motor issues all weekend unfortunately or else probably could have made the main.

Levi,

Wow. Interesting! I have the actual overall results straight from the announcer after the main. Matt Gosch and I tied for 4th overall with 191 points. I won the tie breaker after laps and time were added. Not sure who posted those reports but they seem to have left me out!

We had one do this at the AMS event on the E buggy. I figured it was due to the wicked torque made by the motor. We've never had issues with one on the nitro car.
I showed the agama guys and this was the first they had seen too. I think we all chalked it up to the electric motor

Levi drove great in the dash for cash and finished strong in the A main event.
Id like to see the set up you ran Levi. We are headed back down for the Byrons Fuel race in 3 weeks.
