Why steel hingepins/shock shafts?
Why new topdeck but no ATC posts included?
How come the shock bodies are now plastic?
Plastic belt tensioner?
Plastic spring pirches?
Plastic servo mounts?
With all the cost cutting on the car...you'd think it would be like $299 max.
These parts were used to cut the cost of the kit without sacrificing performance. It seems that with all these lower priced parts that the TC kit would come in closer to the $300 mark.
I plan on simply upgrading my current Cyclone with the new improved parts included on the TC.
ie - Pro-Spec Diff, A-Arms and perhaps the ATC Topdeck/stand-offs when we go inside on high traction carpet.
