Bit of a random one here - and don't think I'm taking this all too seriously, because I'm really not, I just like preparing things properly I've entered my SRB in this years Iconic Revival, but it looks like I'm the only SRB entry. Since there's a few other Frog entries in the '77 - '83 class, I'm considering swapping my entry to my Frog so I can play with the other Frogs. I can't find much about good, functional mods make to a Frog for racing. Way back in the day I made a new upright front shock mount for my Frog which kinda works, but I need to tune the shocks with softer springs. Other than that, is there anything worth doing? I'm prepared to go totally mental, I haven't run the Frog in stock trim in a very long time and found it to be way too tail-happy with a Super Stock BZ installed. It's a re-re and it suffers the famous issue of the front stub axles popping out. Besides carrying a drawer full of spares, is there a known fix? Any other fragile areas worth taking spares for? I'm guessing spike tyres will be best on astroturf. Not sure what fronts to run. For aesthetic purposes I'd love to run Brat wheels and tyres and a Brat shell (it's actually technically a Brat, but I used the shell for something else and always ran it with Scorcher tyres and Baja body) but I guess the Brat tyres will be wrong for an astro track. Again - don't think I'm taking it seriously, I just want it to be as well-behaved as possible, we tried to run the SRB on astro with the Rough Rider tyres for last year's enduro and it was almost undriveable until we switched to spikes.
