Tunnel braces?

[RMKillR]

I know the pro chassis had weak spots and required braces on the tunnel.

I pick my axys up next week, and have been reading a lot of info on here. I may have missed any info on the weak spots on the axys? Still required to prevent damage?

Thanks!

Budget for a-arms. You could never bend the tunnel with the stock arms on. I bent my third lower arm today. Early season my butt. I had two Pros before this, they had the "weak" glued arms. Never had to replace one of those doing the exact same riding. Todays "hit" was pathetic. I am not impressed...

Tunnel braces? Pay the insurance policy. Done.

If it preventable... I'd rather go that route...

Buddy wrote a new sled off, and his insurance is through the roof now!!

I'd do the front braces for sure and then add the rears if you have a coupled suspension or like to do things like jump off very large cliffs and such

Is there a lot of disassembly required to install the front braces?

Zero disassembly is required, just drill your tunnel to match the rivet holes on the brace and pop the provided rivets and you're done. You can see my web page for pics of the black braces installed

Zero disassembly? It says on your page "Kit requires the removal of the chain case/Quick Drive backing plate, drive shaft, skid and track. Installation is made easier with the removal of the left/right fenders, but it is not required".

We don't need to do this?

He is right, no disassembly required.

The website has been fixed.

That was accidently copied over from last years kit for the PRO

we make a bumper/brace combo and just a brace.
