As far as the center shock, I'm wondering about the spring for that and also what handling on the car this spring affects? I hear the bearings break pretty easy so I will get some of them, any other spare part suggestions? The F1 class at my track is running 21.5's.
If it is the new black CRC carpet, get the aluminum chassis and plate. I also use Tamiya super-soft springs in front and the next stiffer xray spring for the center shock.
