Anyone know what changes need to be made after u install chassis brace???

carbon fiber tube .210 OD 24" or 40" (whatever length you choose) from you local hobby store similar to this:

I used 1\4" solid aluminum tubing then polished it to look like a purchased part.

I looked at everyone's different materials and ideas for inspiration and then made my own to fit my idea of what the truck needed for a chassis brace (and what worked specifically for my application).

Mr. Cherry's lower chassis brace idea is about the quickest and easiest brace to duplicate and most likely produces the necessary added support this truck needs IMO.

To me the most important role of the chassis brace is maintaining consistent distance between the front and rear gearboxes. Which is best handled with a brace positioned atop the gearboxes rather than down low closer to the chassis deck. (My opinion once again)

Honestly I origionally wanted a combination of both the higher and lower chassis braces triangulated together to the chassis center for the most rigidity, but it did not allow my saddle pack battery to be removed without removing the brace first which is unacceptable. Thus I use the higher style of chassis brace you see here.

I also considered tying into the shock towers but scrapped that idea as I want the towers to be able to flex independently in a crash w/o directly affecting the distance between the gearboxes.

So consider all options and build a brace that fits your particular needs, remember anything is better than nothing in this case as the truck needs one badly IMO.

Walmart gives back to the community, so that is no argument.....

maybe we should get Apple to help MTK and Mantis Patent the products



Toe in really does help smooth the truck out!

For those using the saddle pack mods, whats the biggest size saddles you can use? H/W/L?? Thanks

I would like a set as well. Thanks

where can i find info on the saddle pack mod? I can't seem to get the search function to work very well?
