    Just found out that my eliminator was damaged during shipping and the crew fixed the problem. I just want to thank John and crew, without the fix I would have had a last place car instead of a first place car. John could you see what might have caused the damage?

    I highly recommend the 4" box. Your foam was a slightly loose and the wheel smashed the side of the box. The box had to take a wicked impact to cause the damage. It seems the USPS is getting worse and worse.

    I think the 4" boxes are in my future also... I have had similar problems. I actually cut out all cardboard from the wheel area to give it extra room, but I ran out of 3" boxes so I am moving on to 4" ones...
