Thumbs up

Thanks Sky_Liner that's good to hear that someone knows a little about the front deck... I have had mine do that before twice... That's why I thought it was to brace it up...

I know what you guys are saying. If my servo shifts out of place 1 time, I will put the deck back on.

It won't happen to my indoor cars though.

I keep mine on simply because I figure it's keeping most of the dust and dirt from getting into the front drivetrain.

It keeps ur chassis stiffer

If u take the rear deck off and pull back the rear end it will move ALOT and with the deck on it will virtually eliminate movment making ur chassis stiffer and a better ride

i know it was just an example and the front deck helps keep the towers attatched to the frame because i had the screws on the undersie srtip and my towrs came off but now that i have the front deck on it stays down

i leave mine on, but i painted it flat black, soon im going to paint the rear deck and chassis flat black as well, i think it helps to stiffen the front end, as everyone has said because it keeps the front towers from leaning in under a load
