Haha the starts of races are always the worst, and I usually start in the middle or back. Just gotta let off and drive a different line then wait for the pile up to happen then drop the hammer. Usually works lol

Nice and flat, which is good, but countersinking is messy with C/F thread loose like they used a worn out countersink. I recut them with a solid carbide countersink
Excellent value considering the lipo locators are included, and the design of these is really good
Front hinge pin mount holes are further forward so use 2mm spacer in front, 1mm behind to maintain default front wheelbase setting. Gives just about zero play which is cool
All fits together very accurately, no tweak
The chassis has considerably greater torsional stiffness when compared to stock, it is not similar at all
I run on high traction carpet and the car is always decking out in so hopefully this will improve things
I love the way this car handles and hope the chassis doesn't ruin it !
Yeah I was a bit disappointed with the way the cuts and countersunk holes looked out of the package but ohh well. The chassis will be all scratched up with a few weeks of running anyhow I guess. Although my buddy has a cyclone exotek and the holes and cuts look great but its a few months old

I think theres alot of different things that would come into play here though also. You run thicker oil and less droop so your car would roll less then mine does. Obviously you dont like the idea of lifting the motor mount but im going to mess with it. Everyones car in 17.5 (I think were the first in mod to have them?) that has a exotek chassis go look at there motors, especially Brian's car, his motor looked worse then mine in mod lol. That cant help corner speed
