[QUOTE=Artificial-I]3 screws actually and its pretty quick for me. Also the modification of the rear brace which is already flimsy enough to grant hpi the reason to create an aluminum upgrade.
.. actually the reason is called " revenue generation". No, the rear brace is not flimsy enough to be a problem. Try to flex your chassis and see the rear brace will not flex. It will flex right at the connection where the brace mounts to the upper chassis deck. The mounting of the rear brace is where the problem might be (if a stress analysis was performed). Now if you are not able to tighten the brace properly b/c the screwholes are worn out, then you might have some flexing problems as well. Getting the screws tight are pretty important on the rear brace.
Basically, removing and re-installing self-tapping screws into plastic is NOT a good thing and should be avoided if possible. That is the justification for the mods.... hey, but who am I to tell you what to do, just my thoughts
