Default What the hell?? Whats wrong with fioroni???

I was looking for the strongest cnc front chassis brace for my mp7.5 I could find and the fioroni brace looked good. Nice design and 7075...so I orderd two. When they arrived I got the ultra racing series version of the braces instead of the regular. The fact that these braces are probably 6061 cause the racing series are light didn't really bother me but the design is the fassiest I have ever seen. I don't even want to put it on my truck now it looks so lame. Whats up with this design?????

how mcuh did you pay for them if you keep them new ask me in about 2weeks and i will proabably buy them from you. I will give you 60usd shipping included that way you get a bit of money back and i wil be happy with them. YOu have a front and rear chassis braces though don't you.

the racer series should be 7075, the regulars are probably 6061, anyway, that thing is ugly, honestly, fiorni dosnt make that great of parts, the ano chips REALLY easily, if you get a lot of strong chemicals on them the ano will have a weird look to it, the only things that are good from fioroni are their clutches[not the greatest but....] chassis, diffs, and there clutch bells and brake pads are ok, but not worth their price,

there have been to many people at our track who buy the full fioroni uniform for their 7.5 or x5 and take most of it back off, i was infact going to buy all the fioroni stuff until 3 people told me to go with the Racers Edge parts, so i did and have been very happy

shark, email kendall (rc-nation) and tell him you wanted the regular style...i think he will make it right for you (or give you your money back)...hes a good guy (not to mention the ultra parts cost quite a bit more than the standard stuff)

Well a guy here locally is going to be making titanium stuff but will probably not sell them on the net for a while. All the stuff is at a CAD guy drawing it all up right now.
