anyone?
I think RSDs would work perfectly if they had an exotek option where the bottom braces are not aluminum weights but a thin CF version.
The AL version is great for the stock chassis

Looks great Shaun!
COYOTETECH FT Lightweight Chassis Brace 
No, it's not a amazing re-engineering. It's just designed for racing.
Not trying to Plug my brace, but it doesn't validate it's own thread. There is a link in my Signature to the post now so this should make it easier for me and I can just focus on getting them out instead of tracking down information for you.No, it's not a amazing re-engineering. It's just designed for racing.
All lightweight.
- Heavy Duty AE Rod Ends
- Hobby Quality Carbon Rod
- AE FT Spacers
- Washer on shaft helps with notorious splintering
- Rod Ends Epoxied in for weight loss over my original full length rod
~Final Cost: 20.00 Shipped It's up there a bit more than what I had originally hoped. But I hope it's still better for you guys than the alternative brace: (30.00 +shipping)
To purchase:
Paypal 20.00~
Price includes anywhere in the USA (please don't send me questions about zipcodes, USA=20.00)

Please include in paypal:
- Your shipping address (Check it!)
- Your RCtech Forum Name
The Brace will be shipped that closest Monday unless I PM you otherwise. (only thing would be backordered parts)
- If you want it shipped somewhere else, the shipping is pretty gnarly. But I will do whatever you want.
Disclamer: This is not designed as a Basher's chassis Brace. It is designed for lightweight bracing on the top of a truck. Ounces matter to you guys, so I did it. Bashers: take that as you will.

Something else you could try is tuning down the Dual-Rate on your radio. The main track that I run at, I can run my truck at 70% dual rate and it makes the truck much more controllable, plus I still have plenty of steering to get around the one hairpin that needs a small turning radius.
I think a lot of people forget that there are settings on their radio that can help a bunch!

There you go... and that's my point... it had been shown how to do the modification. Now up to you to do it to yours!

Check out 5:15 into the video. I guess the original design called for a "telescoping belt cover" that would flex with the chassis. I guess they decided that wasn't the way to go but never really fixed the problem.

Well if the holes don't line up and you don't want to drill new holes, nor buy the kit that already solves the problem, I don't know what you expect from us.
I guess you could cutout some type of adapter out of CF sheet and glue it together. or just skip the mounting screws all together and epoxy the thing in place.

He was asking if the B44.1 tray will go onto the exotek without mods.
Simple yes or no question.

back off motor timing 5-7 degress from stock "novak zero"
I also have the new 'open endbells' from novak, they really help cool the motor plate and slipper area as the motor is more open to air on the mount

Velenion system
Anyone try running the VXL system from a rustler (think slash uses the same one) in this truck?
I know it's far from ideal, but so is sitting on the bench on race day, so I would like to have the spur/pinion combo ready to go in case I had an issue with my good stuff.
