NEW strut bars X 1/9

I'm all for this kind of chassis improvement but I have to ask a serious question, have you measured the actual difference it makes to the rigidity of the suspension mounts?

The front towers are far enough forward from the scuttle to benefit from some bracing but the rear towers are so well supported by the brace across the back of the engine bay that I have to question how much benefit can be gained

Hello,


We did not do scientific research or measurements on our strut bars, we made them based on the experience of some X 1/9 rally drivers and sold many of these. We got a lot of positive reactions but realize that many X 1/9 drivers buy the strut bars as an optical improvement. But this is a matter of taste. About 4 years ago many X 1/9 friends contacted us to start a production for these as there were no X 1/9 strut bars at all. Now we have them

regards,

Henk

they look great so why worry

Didn't say they didn't look good, I was just curious as to what practical benefit the rear brace was...

Good work all the same
