Haven't had any issues with my chassis' breaking and they are braced with carbon fiber. You just need to know how to do it correctly.

Default B4.1 Chassis extension +8mm

Hi Guys

I got my chassis back from the water jet shop yesterday and have finished them off. Came out really well.

Along the way I took photos and wrote an instruction manual on how to do it.

Hopefully it helps others who are going for the limo

cheers
Ben

It's just the way they are with the new plastic, doesn't hurt performance IMO but yes it does "feel like crap". Best thing you can do with the rear hubs is to tap them and put a set-screw in to hold the hinge pin, seen it done and it works just haven't done it myself, yet..

RPM products have their place and their buyers. I've yet to break a .1 part on my b4.1 or FTSC10 since new (both pre-ordered before release) so I'm not their target market and wouldn't send that e-mail. Sorry just being honest

I don't think there is a difference between the rtr plastic and FT plastic but I have noticed a lot of slop in my rear arms also. When I give it throttle off the ground, the arms shake like crazy. I have had it about a year.

You've also said you can't notice a difference between running a rear wing or not running one, so balanced tires might not be worth your time, just saying.
