Looks like the rear shock tower mod.

I have spoke to DMS about it and looks like there might be two versions of it coming out: a DMS on and an X-factory one. Hopefully with us soon.

Ahhh i see did you read the whole post? It seems like a lot of work for something that isnt been raved about but reported to make only a minor difference.

Nice to see you doing your X6 research ;).

If you read the last few posts you can see some SLMCC contribution. I moved the wing forwards, to me it was actually quite a big difference. I wasn't sure whether it moved the down force forwards or just reduced the effectiveness of the rear wing. But along with Paul it's something I will do when there's a kit, seems to make sense to run a bigger wing forwards than a smaller wing backwards. i.e. more overall downforce in the right place rather than less downforce because it's in the wrong place. - For me it was about curing high speed understeer.

Ha ha well worked out Ian :)
Yeah i finished reading on the train this morning and it did make sense. It basically means that the down force is moved nearer the rear wheels and gives the rear of the car less leverage to lift the front Thats my understanding of it. on a short tight track like at blackpool we did i wouldnt have thought it made much of a difference but in burton down the straight and some of the faster corners then yeah I can maybe see it been a good mod. . I considered moving my wing for the next meet my only issue is i wouldnt know if it made a squats worth of difference as i dont think i have completed 5 laps with the new car yet so i will hold off for a while until i get a little more feel for the car and my new brushless :D

That all said the wing itself can be modded with out the shock tower needing any changes (no body said there is a right or wrong way to mod lol)

It is something I will be keeping an eye on tho and im still wondering when u are going to try the direct steering arm?? it would be interesting to know your opinion on that.
