I'd love to know if this is the case?

The guys at MB Models have just very kindly lined up a set of the kit supplied Core rear springs next to a set of Schumacher springs of the same poundage and the Schumacher ones were shorter

[Muzzie]

Has anyone tried the base carpet setup as per the manual?

With this setup was the rear shocks mounted on the front or rear of the wish bone?

I don’t have 5 deg yokes are these worth getting?

Bent chassis from a fairly mild shunt

Couple of things the quality of the build is excellent as you would expect.
Some small niggling issues though. Having to dremel the sidepod so can gain access to the shorty lipo come on schumacher do a proper one and with all the nice black parts why the grey ball cups could have been black lol.
I'm looking forward to giving the car a run this weekend

supposed to take it off to get lipo out, and the grey pro sockets are stiffer than the black ones they do

[bigred5765]

Indoor on astro do you want the kit or 5 degree front yokes?

What happened to cause that?? First time I took my K1 aero out I delaminated my chassis and shattered the top deck. It was a full speed crash into a solid post after someone dropped shock oil all over the polished wooden floor.

Caught the rear wheel which snapped the hub. I wouldn't have thought it would bend the chassis though!

[Boons]

Does any firm do an alloy brace/nose for the front end?

Ouch! Thought it came with a carbon chassis.

Were the fast schumacher guys still using the alloy chassis at worksop today?

The carbon is an option

To be fair that would be a big hit to bend the chassis!
