The mods is free and really easy you still have the wheelie bar but it’s just higher up and can go down to take the rear bumper off

Interesting mod for the wheelie bar.. Mainly for more 'give'..?

And, is that an AR butt stock I see?
 
You know if you cart will that thing or land on your ass-end off a good size jump it could do some damage. It’s connected to the skid plate which bolts into the bulkhead and all…
 
The wheelie is to low for me and it has made me launch jump wrong

Also if you worried about bulkhead breakage you could make a mount the reconnects the top mount to the bottom 3d printed or bend some steal if you want more support

This one is adjustable (3 height settings) and is far stronger than the stock one. May want to try it if your idea goes south.

I also prefer the older one. It definitely provides better wheelie angles and also provides good cushion and flex. But I'm not sure if it's stronger. Mine lasted about a year, but many people complained about them breaking, that's why Arrma changed it.

Nice if give it a shot if my idea breaks more than the diff and spur (rear diff and spur are the main reason i did this)

Yes, I think the new stock wheelie bar increases the change of damage to other parts. It's actually too strong. Since it barely flexes, I think it creates bad leverage on impact. On one rear end jump landing, the wheelie bar didn't break, but the chassis did. I've decided to run without a wheelie bar for now. I may get the older one again.

I have broken three of the stock wheelie bars that comes on the 3S line. Each time it was about a half inch from the wheel. Since I switched to the adjustable one a few months back I haven’t broken one. Of course I probably will at some point. I do like it better though.
