Its not the material you use, its how much surface area you create, between the brace and the two chassis pieces, on the vertical ribs of the chassis.

i added a screw and nut to the braces on the outside and the expoxy. I tried flexing this thing and nothing. Its not moving!. Now i can run the right setup since cavs is there=] 2.5 degree toe is nothing! He got so much side bite.

Definitely considering running LRP SXX V2 and Orion Motors. Where is a good place to purchase these with reasonable prices?






Best guess as I have no real inside info about when , is about 3 to 6 months availability...

All the chassis that come in the T4.1 kit boxes do not have mold plugs. The chassis you buy from amain or anywhere else are old stock with the mold plug until those run out just as it was or maybe still is with replacement B4.1 chassis due to the chassis retaining the same part number. For sure the chassis with the mold plug are a different material and flex less then the chassis without the mold plug.

Make a long skinny piece that goes lengthwise along the vertical piece of chassis, so you have like an inch on both sides of the cut line. The bracing you did there wont cut it.
Like, totally.

finally got some cab forward bodies painted up by a local...

love how they drive. bulldog gives the buggy more offpower, while the punisher on the truck gives it more rear bite, and makes it jump alot smoother....well atleast for me

I am not bashing at all but I don't understand how bodies change the handling, especially offpower. I mean these things aren't that fast to begin with and then when you are slowing down they are even slower.

Do you run your buggy with the wing on it? Take it off and then post with your results. Body design plays the same role, just not always to the same degree...

My wing has broken off and don't want to pay for a new one and, honestly, I can't tell a difference.
