Hey guys I race on carpet like I said before, both tracks are high grip and I need a suggestion on a mod motor. Both tracks are mid to large (125ft x 50ft). I used to used a 10.5 LRP with an old LRP ESC the last time and I couln't keep up (this was the combo last time I raced 2wd outdoors). The top guys are using 6.5 to 7.0!!! Ant suggestions for a motor and speed control?

I guess I won't try the LCG then. Once we go to outdoor we don't race indoors. So we can wait until heading back indoors in the Fall. Maybe AE will have their own version out by then at a cheaper price.

I'm not comfortable building a ball diff.. I can never get them right. I like gear diffs for this reason alone. Thank you for the starting point

Yea i don't blame you don't exactly care for them ethier prefer gear diffs but if you break them in good, and keep it from barking they actually last long and smooth . No need for the carbibe balls the MIP rebuild kit is cheap and good .

But 3k or 2k should work on loose dirt i think .

Ball diffs are the easiest to build and if properly built and broken-in, will last a long time and give much better results than a gear diff.

Ball-diff: low to high traction
Gear diff: uber high traction

Is there a part number that can be ordered to use to mount the wing on the JC wing mount? Apparently you have to provide your own hardware?

Hardware consists of screws...You should have some screws handy or be able to pick some up at your lhs.

Also considering waiting until the laydown tranny comes out.

Any advise or suggestions would be great.
There are so many other kits that had the potential on the turf and the one was in the right hands. If you decide to run a little clay the "lite" is the Ultimate

OK I might be wrong but here is my thought. I tried something at my local track. It was a new layout and buggy was just a little rear end happy in the corners. Now I know many will say, " track hasn't come in yet". But I know other cars were not doing the same as mine so tried a change. Instead of running my camber links on the rear ( in on rear tower and middle on hub) I went to (in on rear tower and in on rear hubs. I was hoping for a little more camber gain in the corners.

That would be opposite of what I have heard, I heard if it gets rear end happy to lengthen the rear camber links.

A shorter rear link is generally more stable, also rotates quicker.The shorter link stiffens the rear suspension creating less roll

If you are on a high bite track lengthen them it will make the car less twichey. On a loose track shorten them you will get more camber gain. On a high bite track you don't need as much camber gain.

There are a few in the for sale forums. I think I've seen 2 or 3 in the past couple of days.
