I was wondering what a better hop-up would be, a graphite upperdeck and rear brace or a pair of HPI Universal Dogbones for the front. My RS4-2 really could use something to help out the handling. It has an OS CVR-X .15 - racing clutch - lightened flywheel, and a 2-speed is on the way. Right now it's almost too much power, if I give barely give it gas when cornering, it'll just spin out. but what do you think would be the best bang for the buck?
 
the MIP's are better. I've snapped the HPI uni's with a .12 CV-R already.
 
A cheaper alternative is the HotBodies universals, I've had a positive experience with them in my RS4 3ss with a OS .15CV-RX has a Hardcore Racing mutant head on it! I was twisting stock bones and replaced all 6 with the HotBodies universals and havnt had any problems. As far as handling, does your car have adjustable turnbuckles? and a good set of tires is a must
