I did think of doing this but decided against it for a couple of reasons.

First one is that I use a possible 3 sizes of bar and you can't change the slot once it is done.

Second is that if I flip the espeed hangers down I have to lower the roll bar as well to stop it hitting the turn buckles, admittedly you could do 2 slots, or just have it low.

The last reason was that if I ever brake the bulkhead it could be a pain to sort it out for a next race....although seeing as I have only ever done one that is kinda not really important.

Thanks all, i knew it wasn`t the most functional design but i didnt know that some people carried 12 thicknesses of bar in their boxes. It will also be a pain if you do break a bulkhead.


Do you notice much of a difference in goint from a 0.9 mm bar to a 1.2mm?

I think i would get lost if i had 12 of them in my box ;)

I have a V-slot cut in mine, I could cut the slot deeper and then drill and tap 2mm holes in the tower to pinch the rollbar into the slot. I have only used a .9mm roll bar so far so I've not found the need.

ELLIS: Why do you alter the height of the bar? Could you leave the bar in the lower position all the time?

Please use your imagination to see a photo HERE of an over-stuffed pit box.

No real reason just I like to get a straight line, or as best as possible, from teh mount to the pivot??

So it's for purpose rather than for clearance, fair enough!

Lee, Craig is a craftsman who whenever he makes anything makes it look factory. I challenge you to make yours look as factory as his!

Sorry to resurrect this old thread. I've tried searching for Losi 4157 but seem to find a motor plate instead. Is this definitely the right part, and still available? Does anyone have a pic of this fitted to an X6 SQ?

I think I've found the answer, Losi 4257 is the part I need. So does anyone have a pic of this fitted, and does anyone know who has this kit in stock?

Oops, sorry about the wrong number. And a good thing to use the original thread instead of starting a new one!

Now, to find a pic. Won't be in the shop for a while, so possibly somebody has one. I think once you have the little kit, installation is rather straight-forward.

sway bar
 

this is a sway bar system that i came up with. it acts like a torque bar more than a swaybar and lets the rear move a little more so its still free through the bumpy bits!!!! :thumbsup:

all the guys ive made one for have commented that their car is a lot faster through the corners and more stable into and out of the corner !

High quality pix, Doc!

That's an interesting idea, thanks for the pics.

I have the kit, but still not 100% how it's fitted. Any chance someone (maybe Chazz) has a pic they can post?
