option for DEX410/R

I'm going to buy one. I saves swapping between the plastic and carbon brace especially on a club night when you hardly have a break.

[Big G]

do you notice much difference swapping packster? what surface are you running on?

I swapped to the plastic pods at the start of the season, but haven't tried the alu again since so it might be worth putting them back on to try a few things

Option for those 2 models but probably standard part on the V3 which is coming

So you managed to have a try with the new one?

That was my initial thought.
And i have a feeling of updated Shock towers having the same colour but of better quality than the R.
Something like the 408 towers but for 1/10 scale. I don,t think that TD is going to replace the old ones with newly designed carbon towers.

This was for another thread ...

sorry I meant I put plastic "R" pods on, but haven't tried the alu ones again since. Might be worth putting alu pods and plastic brace on to try that as well as plastic/plastic on a decent day to compare things.

I run a 410R, I've noticed it makes a hell of a difference. I run on a varnished cork floor so it is roughly the same as a polished wood floor. The extra flex helps to generate more rear end grip with the plastic brace.

Outdoors I use the carbon brace because the plastic one along with the plastic side pods in my view has too much flex and isn't consistent over the bumps.

snap!

this is great that its adjustable, same as the rear hinge pin adjuster.

I've been running plastic/carbon all this season. I'll do a run like this next tuesday and then swap to plastic/plastic and see what difference I can report on.

I'd like this new part, but it is rather pricey

[captainlip]

with this part though, there is a real difference in how flexable the brace is, so its a worthty part to have if you use different surfaces.

What a load of crap, unless you've got the smalls torque wrench in the world how would you ever set either side the same, let alone use it as an adjustable brace. The only way a system like that can work is with shoulder bolts done up tight, with differnt graded bushes. Imho.

simple, screw it up all the way and count the number of turns you loosen it by each side for equal flex?

What he said....

It's bling, if you like bling buy it.
As for a tuning aid, I can't tell the difference between the plastic / carbon brace, or the alloy / plastic sidepods
