I wouldn't run the alloy bulkhead either. It's not just about the wishbones, by running the alloy bulkhead you're risking breaking the chassis on an impact.

i'd rather break a bulkhead for a few quid than break the chassis

The other reason not to run it is they only came in 0deg and 5deg, where as the white kit one is 10deg kick up.as for setups this is what the team used at all tracks without change this year.

I was under the impression that the metal bulkhead would save the chassis, as it's bolted to it, adding strength across the lugs?
Or does it just put the stress elsewhere?

It moves all of the stress to the lugs

Yea you'll break the chassis with that and like it was said before the wht plastic is softer and gives more kick up.

Slowly getting the car going, got the CR rear hubs and wishbones along with a new shell en route from DMS :thumbsup:

Now the only thing is, what should i paint my shell like :lol:!!! I dont really want to use my colour scheme as i dont think it would suit the car, so something else is required!

Losi's look good in white IMO but i dont just want a white shell, anyone got some ideas they can pass on??

Tah, Tom

Look on motorbike helmets manufacturer webs...millions of ideas will come to you.

This one is almost white but with some classy touch, as an example.
