I saw the front hexes and the 5.5mm tool on there as well as the hard front towers and arms. I grabbed the tool, towers and arms myself.

Totally interested in the alloy rear hubs, never had an issue with the vertical ball stud, had them on my B4.2s and have them on my Caster S10b.

Basically, think of it like this:

Plastic with 0 washers = 0
Aluminum with short side up = -2
Aluminum with raised side up = +2

Example: I liked my inner rear ballstud height at 0 with the plastic piece. So I need to add a 2mm washer under the ballstud with the aluminum piece short side up to remain at "0" setting.

Hope that makes sense.
i have both and i don't think the metal one is negative 2 on short side. maybe negative one.

May want to measure for yourself...that's what it looked like to me.

edit...Just asked Brent and he confirmed. -2mm on the short side and +2mm on the long side.

I watched a little bit of the videos from the 2wd buggies and I have a better understanding why Cherry is always telling us weird stuff. That track has stupid grip. I feel like if I raced there I would be doing everything I could to take grip away from my car.

Is it me or does it look really flat too? Maybe it was just the camera angle.

Rudy Rico's TQ and winning RM stock setup from this weekend's JConcepts Indoor Nationals race at Tacoma R/C Raceway in Tacoma, WA. I believe he was the only person running rear motor in the class (I didn't see any others). Second place was a B5M and third was an RB6 in MM.

Not flat. Plenty of elevation. Grip is always pretty high.

What does more or less trailing axle do for the car?

thanks for the confirmation So that means the maifield warehouse setup would be like using the the plastic ball stud mount with no spacers.

Yeah, super high grip. Was interesting to see some of the top 4wd cars traction roll in the A-mains.

Asked Brent and he said they have a couple tracks in Cali with the same or more grip like Trcr.
Awesome grip & stays consistent though out the day.

Kudos to JConcepts for hosting a great event for us here in the N/w..


Tires
The dirt webs wear a little longer , front tire is smoother and has same steering.
Rear offers more around grip with out slowing rotation down.

The bar codes were great also after the grip came up later in the day.

Don't forget Aka and their new tires, they were doing great also.
