I've heard interesting things about the center shaft kit. I'd like to know how it holds up to mod motors. The word is that the amount of front flex in the 74.2 causes the lightweight kit to bind and eventually bend on hard landings. My son will probably build up an Associated wheeler for carpet season this winter and we are doing some research.

Most of the guys at my local track run the lite weight shafts in 13.5 and I haven't heard of any issues. Looking forward to see how this runs compared to my tekno.

Trimmed and fitted the body this morning. Wasn't really feeling this body at first but once I trimmed it and sat it on the car I like how it looks.
