Well I have a reedy saddle pack that cost waaaay more than I should've spent and just 5 months later THIS happened:

Approximately 30 cycles maybe because I usually run my Trak Power saddles for qualifiers) and practice and use these for mains but 10-12 cycles in and these would lose their punch a little over a minute into a run. Did several charge and discharge cycles and it remedied the issue for a few charge cycles but then began dumping again. I decided to run them for practice and setup, but today I go to work on my 410 and saw this.
You best believe I'm calling up reedy first thing in the morning!!!

I think it's funny that Mayfield has 0 for rear ball stud washers when clearly he is running 3mm I think. Also didn't fill in the front ball stud washer when he has 1mm. Anyone catch that or am I seeing things? Who ever filled that out must of been in a hurry jezz

Tech Rookie
And the track conditions changes during the race so one setup which works on the first qual could not work on the other quals or main finals !
The setup sheet is just here to tell which direction we should go in for this track, but you better not copy that exactly and try to learn by yourself and understand the purpose of each setting ! It's kinda hard and need so much time but it's useful

actually, in the picture of the rear stud mount, the aluminum piece looks to me to have a lower mount point by 1 mm over std plastic. Thus I translate the picture to show him having 2mm at that point. But that's only my observation...
Others are right. These pictures could have been taken during 1st round or practice to show off the new money makers.

I have not had an Associated car since 2007. I liked the new design features of the B5 so I bought one. Its a smooth car so far. I have noticed some play in the front trailing inserts and steering blocks after 4 nights of racing but the car still feels tight and drives crisply.
Thanks for the advice below on the slipper actually causing a pushy car. I will double check mine as I have thrown 5 different oil and spring packages at the
car without a change for the better.

Yup, tell me about it. Thus far, the only batteries I've found to be worth the coin are Venom and Track Power. Both those brands maintain their punch and to this point have not swelled. Have a few friends with Turnigy Nano LiPo's and they are as advertised. Solid, well finished packs that perform well and you can buy 2-3 packs for the price of some other brands.
