Thanks for your help!
Just thought we would jump in with some quick race updates on the CRC Pro Strut Front end....
This past weekend at the IIC race in Las Vegas, Team Corally Driver Marc Fischer was really struggling with his Corally 12X. For the front end, Marc used a Associated front end with a lot of CRC option parts on it.
Running out of ideas on how to get his car competitive, he dropped off his Corally in the CRC pits and asked us to give the new CRC Pro Strut a try on his car. We put a Pro Strut front end on his car (yes, CRC guys working on the Corally!).
Until that point, Marc's best lap was a 10.3. On his 3rd lap after installing the Pro Strut, he nailed down a 9.9 and came back from practice with a big smile on his face. His car felt great and he went from off the pace to contender, just that easy. Shortly after that, a few other Team Corally drivers were busy fitting their cars with the front end.
Obviously, the Pro Strut was on the CRC Generation X cars. Three cars made both the stock and modified A-mains.
Don't be afriad to give the Pro Strut a go. With the new molded ride height spacers (ditching the culprit red washer/spacers) we have practically eliminated lower arm failures. The newest plastic is very tough and many of the parts have been beefed up and improved. In fact, we had ZERO lower arm failures in Las Vegas. It's durable, much easier to adjust the play and fit of the various parts as well as having all the adjustments needed to get your car dialed in.
Any hobby dealer can get the parts from Horizon Hobby Distributors or directly from CRC. In addition, obnline shops like Ashford Hobby, Stormer Racing and Superior Hobbies stock the parts. Also, we ship right away from our web store.
Thanks,
Team CRC
