ran the car last friday night, very impressed how it handled. I made some changes to make it handle better in our local track. Changed the steering insert from A to B and gray springs. I noticed the tire wear was so much better than the 3 (using 24t pulley). I used 2mm split. I did not have a problem with rear shock tower but my bro did. It wasn't really a serious accident, however it broke just 2 holes above where the shocks are mounted. It was one of those accidents that your first reaction is, "that was a lazy crush, and it broke?"... He never really noticed it until after the race. Amazingly enough, his lap times did not change, still lucky
. I guess it depends on how lucky you are, but from experience - durability is still an issue for those skinny shock towers. Overall, its one heck of a car. Can't wait to run it again next week.
