I actually made a cantilever/nerf bar to put weight on the extreme right side of the car. Brushless equipment is kinda heavy.

The softer arms give you more traction while you loose a small amount of "predictability". I'd personally recommend the stock kit, with ITF top deck mounted with 4 rear orings to dampen it a bit.

I'd like to see what some of the factory guys would recommend in that situation.

Do you have gearing info for the different motors such as a NOVAK 10.5?

yea thats 64 pitch. you have to run a crazy tall gear for the 17.5's. with the brushed motor im at 116/35 but the 17.5 is a totaly diffrent animal. 90/50 was the best trade of gear/motor temp. it really wants more gear (bigger pinion) but the motor gets too hot. start at 90/50 and go from there

what kind of help do you need? The 4 o-rings allow just a little more flex which give the car a little more over all grip. Do you just not understand how the mod is done or what it's for???? I'm sure that someone on here will get your question answered.

looking at the tc5r on associated's website it looks like the o-rings are there and some washers and stuff. where can we get those parts, does anyone have part #'s for the o-rings, washers, and screws?
