This is so popular on AE cars and I never understood it. Seems like a bad idea to me.

On a B4.1 shaving the u-brace & using the c-hub tower reduces rear traction on turn in but adds traction to the rear coming out of the corner. This only helps if the track is high bite. The combination allows the buggy to rotate as it goes into a corner & accelerate hard out. Slow in, fast out.
