Few more questions about the BMI racing chassis.

1. Are the nerf wings that important to get, do they actually protect from side impacts by extending past the wheels or is that just for show? Please post pick if you have them on your vehicle to see how far they stick out.

2. Will all the standard upgrades for the TC3 work, in particular I run an aftermarket front bumper by BRP.
You will only need the nerf wings if you break alot of rear suspension arms. Or just if you want it to look cool.

The only parts that are different from the TC3 is the motor mount. Everything else will fit.

Are you thinking of a colored chassis of a black one? Also if your going to race it on carpet you might want to think about a thicker 3mm upper deck as well. Standard is good but stiffer is better. Instead of nerf wings maybe put that to the new BMI shock towers soon to be released.
