Hi guys, finally started on the rocket, floor on and attacking the front suspension. I got the new type front hubs which you bolt the focus rear stub axles too, just wandered what others are using for front brakes?? Cheers Chizzy

Look forward to seeing the build and what has changed with this latest chassis...

Cheers mate, i'll look into them, got front arms and hubs on tonight so gonna need to sort some thing soon. They told me when i collected chasis that the engine mounts are lower and the rear lower steady bar fix's further down and not on top the rear cross member dropping the engine down and lowering the centre of gravity. They also have made the lower arms wider to make handling better

Hi Chizzy
Got a question for you mate. I've got a MK3 chassis as well, what calipers are you putting on the rear, I just noticed that my focus rear calipers don't line up with the pre-drilled holes on the RTR rear upright. I am going to contact them to find out if I can still use them or need to buy HiSpek replacements.
If you could let me know if you have noticed this on you kit.
Cheers
Ned.
