Notorious Notorious Wheelie Bar

[benny514]

Besides the obvious of not landing on them, what is everyone doing to avoid breaking there wheelie bars? This is my second one in 9-10 months

Some say soak it in WD 40 ?

Soak it for 36 hrs in wd40 it will give the part more flex it has been tested to work I've seen the video of the flex test which proves this I'm in the middle of soaking my new rear wing mount and wheelie bar atm I just broke my rpm wing the other day and was also looking for a better solution hope this helps ?

I removed mine and rely on the t-bone version.

Although, the top part of the t-bone tends to crack. So far, I replaced one with warranty from t-bone, I've made a 2 replacements out of 1/8" kydex (didn't want to wait) and 1 replacement out of 1/8" LDPE. The kydex ones cracked across the hard bend spot completely:

The LDPE one is holding up pretty good:

I mount mine different than they intend though. It comes with a 4mm or so thick block and longer screws to replace the top 2 screws of the diff cover. After having those get ripped out of the bulkhead and causing me to fry a diff ring/pinion because I didn't know they were partially pulled out, I decided to do it different. I ditched the sway bar and used the holes the sway bar screws used and added a 3rd hole in the diff cap for another screw. This has held up great and doesn't put excess strain on the two diff cap screws that hold the diff cap onto the bulkhead.

I also used the wheels/pins from the original wheelie bar on the tbone wheelie bar as they are more durable and spin nicer.

Keep an eye on your diff case and the rear mount for the chassis brace.

Yeah no worries but what exactly am I keeping an eye out for? Exerted pressure on the diff case??

Yes. The force of any wing landing is going to be transfers to it.

Nice......... My Infraction should be here next week. I was going to put 1M in the centre diff as I already have a bottle but I might give 500 a go first.
