🤔 I accidentally ordered an extra TBone vorteks center brace…

…So I made it fit my granite. What’s the worst could happen aside from up my chassie and towers?

I got creative putting in the mounts. Had just lowered my granite body also and looks so much better. Hacked near 1/4” off each end of the TBone brace to make it fit just right. I used a hack saw so it took awhile and sucked. For mounting I used washers, m3 20mm & m2 30mm bolts and tiny nuts to make tight.

It’ll either work or it won’t

Very cool! Nice modding skills. Do you notice a difference with the brace?

Nope Took it out yesterday and I’ve done so much to the car over the last month (converted the mega granite to 3s and set up for jumping) that I can’t tell the benefit of any single upgrade now. All I know is that my wife and I love the Blueberry. It is both our favorite car to drive out of all six of our Arrmas. We’re learning how to jump and taking our time absorbing the skills needed. Up to 15 foot jumps around 10’ vert so far. Slowly but surely lol.

I recently installed the Arrma 4s tower to tower brace. Without the brace if you press both shock towers towers towards each other you can feel the flex. With the brace that flex is gone. I think the only benefit is if for bigger jumps. I've been having a problem because the back end flexes on hard landings. The rear input gear and differential get thrown out of alignment and get damaged. The Hot Racing differential yoke helped but still wasn't enough, so I'm hoping adding the tower to tower brace will prevent it. There is no performance difference, it's just a durability upgrade if you're sustaining damage from chassis flex.

Sweet, I like hearing this! I know that the chassis brace has an important function… just wasn’t sure on how to articulate it.

Since my wife and I are both learning how to jump, and this is the car we like to practice with, I’m trying to make it as durable as possible. We both tend to land ass first so sounds like the brace will help much lol. Thanks bud!!
