Kraton Should I get basherqueen T2T brace???

[Tate1122]

I bought a m2c chassis for my kraton v5 and the original T2T brace doesn't fit anymore. Do I even need a T2T brace with the m2c chassis? And if so is the basherqueen one worth it?

Nevermind what chassis you have. A T2T brace is an added level of support. And it does work. You can always do what I did, buy the T2T end fittings and bulkhead supports (i used HR's)and just order CF tubing or rods on Amazon or Ebay. If you get tubes, make sure they are 10/2. 10mm outer diameter to fit and 2mm inner diameter(allows the 3mm adjusting bolts to thread itself inside the tube for loosening and tightening).

I think m2c recommends not having a t2t with certain chassis. I’d call them.

I remember seeing it on the Outcast and Kraton listing but I run them anyway on both rigs and have not had any issues.

I beg to differ.
M2C just merely states that their Basher chassis is so stiff that a T2T is NOT needed. And that is true.
A T2T will not do anything bad. No disadvantage to using it with their M2C chassis at all. Wanting it just because.... is a personal call. The added weight of the M2c chassis might be better served by removing the uneeded weight of an uneeded T2T. The only thing to consider.

I run a CF Sleeve over the stocker. It is less $ and absolutely works. A Bare stocker T2T will bend on the LWB rigs. Been there. Simply sleeving it will solve this. Will not bend. A 12mm O.D. x 10mm I.D Sleeve fits like a glove. Just cut it precisely. Looks like a Solid CF rod anyway.
Guys were sleeving the Stocker T2T's sucessfuly, even way before all the upgrade brands jumped aboard supplying them, before it was even a thing.
No, an Upgrade solid CF T2T will not be any better IMHO. A CF sleeve gotten from AMZ will look just as nice and provides the same strength if not more than a solid CF rod. If you want the Alloy Ends for that "Bling touch", HR has them.
BQ buys/sources the alloy ends from HR for her T2T's anyway.

Can you send me a link for the carbon fiber sleeve? I think that I will go with that option.

I have not run a tower to tower brace with any of my kraton's with the m2c chassis and they are straight as an arrow

This was the one I bought that another member linked to in another thread https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RX7GURU?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 I bought the same sized ones 2 years ago and was able to make 1 for my Outcast, 1 for my 3s lwb and 1 for my Kraton.
