i just got off the phone with a pro c-dale racer...and he recomended me to not get once, unless i plan on putting a R body on it cuz the stock body has bad dimentions that give ppl back problems n stuff...this just a personal thing? or is this common?

I haven't had any back problems, and I'm an out of shape old man. The biggest problem I have is my hands get sore from hanging on so tight.

Well, havent heard that one before, but it certainly is interesting smile.gif

I havent noticed any back problems riding, I havent noticed the plastic slappin me in the back or anything.

Did he allude to what his concern was with the plastic that might be causing his back to go out?

You know, now that I think of it, I was having some back problems. Ofcourse I had a bad wreck and suffered a fractured foot and concusion. I still have a pretty good scar on my back from that one too.

Well, I'm 50, my eyes hurt real bad from popping out and MY hands hurt too from hanging on.

Walsh told me that he did have a problem with the ride height of the seat and it being to stiff. That is why he now offers a new sub-frame and one gallon gas tank. You can stick on "R" stuff and the sub-frame offers more "flex" to help obsorb those landings from 100' jumps (lol) that we can now do.
