Haha. It'll be fantastic with tuning. I could feel the car wanting to go much faster. Setup wasnt allowing it.
your a smart man

I love all this talk about weight. BTW the aluminum top shaft is already sold out, I missed out and went to try and order it this morning. 
I raced the JBRL race out in IERC in the rookie class (first major race in 20yrs for me). I placed 3rd, my protek 3000mah pack was really starting to lack punch after the 5min mark of the 6min main. It's a well used pack and should prob just be used for practice now.
My car without added weight and battery comes in at 1342g which is nice, but I'd like to get it down near 1285g.
Here are the mods I have on my car to make this weight:
-Ti associated Turnbuckles
-Aluminum Screws throughout
-EVO Typo's front and back
-Aluminum Hex's on the rear

I'm not 100% happy with my paint either. First off, I got a little seepage under the front window mask when I tried really hard to press them all down tight and spray a super light first coat. Then, when I went to spray one of my main colors, with a brand new spray can, I did a test spray first, came out clean, then went to hit the body, and out fly big globs of paint. I thought everything was good, but after it all dried, everywhere a big glob hit, the color is off (lighter). Oh well.

I have been painting forever and just realized there is two different pains from tamiya. Could have sworn I had been buying the right one but not so much. You need the polycarbonate paint. Trust me, I learned the hard way.

I got a feeling your messing with me so I'll bite. Ok whats the first number 3 stand for? Antisquat right? And the second number 2 is inboard toe? So if you put the .5 inserts on the hubs than you get 3 antisquat and 3 overall toe. Bam! answered my own question.......
