Default SV2 Wide Track

Hi

I am new to the SV2 and really looking forward to getting it running in time for Area 51 & Off Road Wars.

I have read and heard on various forums about running the front of the SV2 in Wide Track (or fit the wide track).

I can not find anywhere that explains what this entails. Sorry for the noob question.

I have also heard about the front arms being flipped. Does this mean left on right and vise versa or the arms turned upside down. What will this do to the car for hadling.

If new parts are needed then please give part numbers if you can.

Any and all advice is very much appreciated.

Cheers

Mark

To make the front wider, just purchase SVR front wishbones. You don't need anything else.
If you flip the wishbones so the shock bottom hole is forward facing this slightly lengthens the car. Not sure how many people do this now on the SV2....

it's U4095 Cougar SVR front wishbones you need for the wide track frontend

Flipping the wishbones around makes the car a few mm longer at the front

Generally smoother steering. Personally I prefer the std wishbones on my car.
