definitely go with Cut Sliders that proven better

As for brands....I cannot say. I had a pair of no name derlin sliders that help up very well in a 30mph lowside.

As of right now I replaced those with vortex frame sliders which I hear a lot of people use..thats why I got them

Just make sure its made of a nice derlin that will wear away and not shatter on impact.

I have Intuitive brand on my RC51. They are pricey. However, I liked the look & fit, including reputation, of them for the applicaton (RC51). The RC has side-mount radiators though, so I wanted what I perceived as the best for that.

As for specially CBR, I'd say that any decent brand would suffice...like Lockhart-Phillips, ProTek, DiamondPowersports (very similar to LP), Shogun.

Definitely go w/ cut.

Thanks for the info guys. Now is there any one out there with a 02 f4i with a set of frame sliders on it. Where the hell does one mount these things.

I am thinking of the woodcraft ones.

GO HERE... http://www.inturace.com/Tutorial/FS1.htm

This is a great tutorial. Its not done on an F4i but same principles. It should be fairly obvious to you which frame bolts to use.

Good luck
