Thanks for the feedback guys, I'll be looking into the hinged box, will test out the current baffles when I get it back (hold it up on a angle to represent 1.2G and see how the fluid flows).

A couple of other racers I know said with CA/RB oil degradation was more a of problem than momentary starvation - and sucking frothy oil was worse and more likely with the 3.5L of oil the CA holds....

I haven't seen it back yet from its second round.
