Would be a good idea, though - especially if we can do it to escape the european winter 
Sow's really going to hate winter in the UK

I don't know about the "serpent metal front belt mount". Are you referring to the aluminum mid bearing block? I have no idea that this will "solve" the belt rubbing issue. Mark? Onkel Sow? Picard? Sparsky?

Like I mentioned earlier, the RC would depend a lot also on your overall setup. I would look into the other stuff first before playing with the rear RC. If the rear is loose, I would tighten the front sway bar some more. Make it more stiff. Less rear droop. More rear camber.

Your right D
I was referring to milling down the chasais although I have not done this and my front belt if fine.

If you're casually playing and racing at club level, I suggest going with the stock parts first and when you break them, then you could replace them with parts that are with stronger plastics which is a running change that Serpent is doing.

But Onkel Sow can always escape winter when he steals time and come back to Malaysia.
