Shaved U-Brace and C hub revisited!

Ok guys I've read most of the old posts on the shaved U-brace and "C" hub tower setup. For some it works and others it don't.

So wondering if anyone has tried using a shaved U-brace with a modified stock RTR hub?

What I did with my RTR B4.1 (cars my experimental for mods to my Worlds car, currently running a 6.5 motor) is I took the stock hub and drilled a hole for the ball stud about a 1/4 of an inch below the center hole, "C" hubs drop mounting holes 2mm. This puts the hole at the top corner of the rectangular indentation on the hub. Placed a washer and nut on the off side of the hub (indentation side) for support and stability for stud. One washer on the brace side.

Hooked it all up. At bones level the turnbuckles are almost level with the bones.

This B4.1 has been twitchy out of the box, no matter weight, tires, caster, camber ect! Always twitchy!
Done this mod and a totaly different car! Handles good and predictable, corners very well on power comming out of turns. And seems the mod is durable, has'nt worked loose or broke a hub yet!

Anyone with any thoughts on this or even tried this??
