Sorry Jason. I didn't even think about being certain who's car this was and crediting them here. I was just excited to see it. I had just thought of it the night prior to going to sleep. Then BOOM! There's your car! Hah

Nice job

Yeah that makes sense. I run med to high bite indoor clay, and the 0 washers setting seems to be really good for me with the rest of my rear suspension setup.

Correct, I have known Rudy since he started racing RC, good kid and great parents.

Imagine how fast he will be with a mid motor once he gets it dialed in. In all honesty I dont think he needs to switch to MM but who knows for sure.

Stock Buggy Carpet Setup

Just sharing my carpet setup for anyone interested.

Small indoor carpet astroturf, wooden medium size jumps. More grip than you can deal with. Most tuning is to take away grip.

Tires: Dboots Terrabyte A Comp Front (inner and outer row of pins trimmed off), Dboots Nanobyte A Comp Rear

Everything kit setup except:
white springs 1.6 piston 32.5 oil all 4 shocks
Shorty battery full forward
3mm spacer under rear inner link (+1mm from kit)
RTR Weight ~1560g.
21mm ride height

Can drive super hard due to being very safe, no rolling issues at all. So fun!

I have the ryobi 4v screwdriver. I picked it up a couple of weeks ago along with a dynamite (p/n 2932) 2 mm hex and associated (p/n 1667) 7m nut driver. Using clutch setting 4 on plastic with no worries, and setting 5 on wheels with no problems. Slow speed of course.

All holes were hand screwed in originally.
