Joe B thanks for the info. Why should I use the steel screws on those standoffs?

well usually the alum. screws will tend to cross thread in the stand offs which are alum .. the steel screws will have better tighteng potential and secure the post with more strength .. and have less chance of loosening up .. hope this helps ..

Hey Jason whats the word on the B-Mi-2 chassis? My pit towel is stiffer than the stock chassis. But its still better than the aftermarket one that I bought with the car.

Anyone have pics of their BMI

Pro 4 chassis? The pics on the BMI website don't show much detail. Too small and far away. How do you like it? Thanks.

Rayhuang...sweet....

I think I may have to get one. Is the 3mm chassis stiff and does it flex much? How is it on carpet? Would it be cheaper to buy the BMI chassis and buy the parts to put a Pro 4 together? I hate to buy the kit for stuff I don't want.

Its super stiff. I ran it on carpet and sold it to go back to Xrays. I liked the way it handled, but I personally wasnt as fast with it . I know more now then I did then-so I bet I'd go quicker with it second time around.

Youd pay a fortune to build it up from parts. Its always better to buy the kit-then put the chassis and top deck on RCTech swaps. It's what I always do.
