Ran a 19t. I was able to get some laps in after the event today. The buggy already feels dialed. Tons of steering, very easy to drive, with plenty of power. Can't wait to race it and see what it can do.

Xray emailed me back. They updated the kits and this is the correct chassis. They removed the posts so people would have more room.

no video of the carpet run due to a wall ride incident

On a neat factor note I have never seen a shock tower break/sear like that

You have been doing a fantastic job of breaking unusual parts as of late

It was great, I hear BOOM and joey is crying, falling to his knees over his broken xray. It was sad, but inside i was laughing because he calls my cars brokomos every time i see him.

Lmao I can relate the only thing the roles are reversed. One guy always busts my chops about my xray, this weekend he broke two parts and couldn't race so of course I had to throw in a few jabs about his yokomo parts availability. All in good fun

Thanks for the input guys. Will start out with a 19t and go from there.
