Rover Man Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 what this do,? ferm/stiffen it up to stop it moving and stripping it? Yep braces center diff to engine. They do flex if you jump a lot. I never had any issue racing though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnie Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 Yep braces center diff to engine. They do flex if you jump a lot. I never had any issue racing though I killed mine doing a small jump. it was too cold to do repairs outside so that was my session over. I've already got this fitted - http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl/it.A/id.9248/.f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your jumping a lot the one i linked will work much much better I think I'll be ordering one asap then. Also do you think getting upgraded braces will help too?

Rover Man Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 For bashing yes, Racing no . What you need to remember when adding stronger parts is your moving the weakness somewhere else that may cost 4x more to fix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you need to remember when adding stronger parts is your moving the weakness somewhere else that may cost 4x moreto fix. I'll start with that part you suggested first before getting other things.
