Even if it was one piece, wouldn't it still twist pretty easily? The brace itself isn't that wide and with as much leverage that would be put on it, even if that one piece was solid, it would still likely twist quite a bit. No?

Correct, the brace is basically to protect the bulkhead and diff from flexing forward, the M2C chassis or justbash etc are meant to help the side to side flex/ twist. 1:1 cars use cross braces, roll cages, strut bars to assist in the side to side, RCs don’t use them because they need some level of flex. The amount of flex from Arrma rear however is not great for big air or most track racing for that matter because it emphasizes rough or loamy surface vs rigidity.Even if it was one piece, wouldn't it still twist pretty easily?

The justbash chassis is probably the most rigid because it has the side walls, but the thing just weighs a poop ton. It reminds me of an old school RC10 gold/ pan chassis.
Will do... I own a lot of M2C stuff already so I expect it to be top notch, but no matter how nice I still would like a solid mounted rear brace. I also pre ordered the motor mount which looks amazing so I get to rebuild the Kraton 3 times this month yay.. ?Let us know what you think about the M2C chassis and how much it adds to the rigidity.
Love this stuff, towers, bulkheads, f/r chassis braces and motor/dif mount all tied together. At least a metal motor plate which connects to the two chassis braces.
I'm going to make something similar to what I did here for my arrmas. But connect it to the tower as well. This was all plastic ..View attachment 31278
Problem with doing this with the arrmas is the little piece that the wing mounts to has two little screws into the plastic. The one I made above has two pins running through the shocktower, bulkhead and is tapped into the aluminum brace mount and a another small screw tapped into the plastic.
The only way I see for the arrmas so far is making the senton brace mount with one hole instead of two out of aluminum and either doing away with a wing or mounting it somehow to it. This would tie your brace directly to the bulkhead and shocktower.
Anyone know if a 22 tooth pinion will fit? I don't want to lose a toothCould always Pre order the mount here

Coupon code M2C drops it to $40 with free shipping. As far as I can tell that’s the motor mount and center diff brace... quite a good deal in my opinion.

Bummer, how can my stock mount fit a 22t lol.I believe it fits up to 21T I have to go through Rich D vids but he said it.
Are you running with a wing? If so how are you mounting it?

I ordered a sheet of 7075 and I plan to use a Tekno mount. The lower part of the Tekno mount pretty much bolts direct to the Arrma bulkhead like stock and I’ll need to make a plate to mount the upper portion and use the body mount locations to bolt the plate in.Are you running with a wing? If so how are you mounting it?
