With seeming to have rear end issue's, was wondering, how would it affect handling if the car was run with saddles at the rear, across the chassis (ala X-6) rather than down the middle?

hi do you meaqn in rear motor? if not i already run mine with saddles across chassis, i find the car real safe on rear end so much so can run yellow mini spikes on rear vice the yellow full spikes we usually run.

I decided to try this on sunday at Southport after doing a similar thing to the X6 last year. I felt that it took the bumps better and also cornering seemed better too. I could definitely push the car more, the only problem is that the standard 22 shell won't fit so I melted a B44 shell down but I tried another club member's FTW Vane shell on and that fitted nicely so i've ordered one of those. Its definitely worth a try IMHO:thumbsup:

Definitely better, the back end didn't step out at all it felt much smoother

23809 2381023811 I run IPs which are a bit taller than most, im not sure of the exact measurements though. I have tried speedpower and reedys and they still didnt fit.

Joel, that looks ace, I am starting to think that the weight distribution is wrong on the car, and maybe just to long.

Have you tried any shells?

Vega 22 would be awesome! :wub

But isnt the USP of the Vega range taking a rear motor car and converting it to a mid motor? If so, then the 22 does that in kit form??

Thanks, on sunday i ran a melted down b44 shell, but i tried on somebody elses FTW Vane shell and that fitted perfectly so i will be running that havent tried any others. i think i agree about the length my next move will be shortening the chassis
