Makes sense they would do that. I hope they BB and put some hexes on it and really trick this baby out. Maybe keep the cost down and keep the hole shots and just throw in a couple of sets of wheels.

keep in mind, ae likes to release the team version for 6+ months before they release the FT kits. I seriously hope they dont use an alum chassis. The composites are fine and dont bend :-).

To all of you arguing about front inserts.
Is it that hard to comprehend that different inserts work best for different tracks? High bite tracks will require an insert that is more firm. Lower bite tracks will require a softer insert. Think of it like air pressure in a real car tire. On pavement (high bite) you want more air pressure than if you were driving in sand (low bite, soft inserts). Remember, different tracks require different combinations to get the most out of your car. Why do you think there are so many tread patterns, rubber compounds, and inserts?

Also does anyone trim the rubber bead on tires anymore? I used to trim the tire bead and the inside of the foam before stuffing them onto the rim. Now a days I just use red foam and mount the tire as is. Also what do you guys use to prep tires and wheels? I use rubbing alcohol.

I would like to see AE put either two sets of rims with no tires or one set of rims and a voucher that is redeemable for one completes set of JC or Proline tires.
