Hi Ramil, the rear turnbuckles are Ti, still need to dig some Ti for the front. The car is still on a diet With IB3800's and Parma Alfa body its 1583 grams.
With this setup you get rid of most of the front to rear chassis twist, when stock it will twist differently between left or right, the motor mount and str servo mounts are on the left, leading to latteral twist.Grab the shock towers and twist the chassis in both directions, you will see what does.
I used Kyosho shock spacers (cone shaped) to fill the countersunk screw holes.
It already has Ti screws and turnbuckles.
I set the car, without the wheels, on a clear sheet of plexiglass, with a stock motor at full throttle it does wild gyrations of flex in stock form, with the mods it stays stable. Look from underneith when you do that.
