Also a lot of HPI parts will fit.
www.rcdiscounter.nl has also parts.
I must make some sheets digital.
The ARP is at his basic setup already very good.

well i have just finished my first test session
the car is awsome
first it was poop as its settings were all over the place
so after a few hours of set up / test / set up / test
it was good but i have loads of steering and it was a little twitchy on the straight
but still i set my fastest ever lap 100ths of a second and it felt easy

Or create some more grip in the back.

I can't scan but i'm making a digital setup sheet.

i would move the steering rack forward this should smooth it out initially.

What is your setup?
Put the car on a set-up system and make sure the rear toe is the same on both sides.. ( I had almost a degree difference ) I had this problem and went to the optional separate type mount and it solved it..

anyone know how many teeth the front and rear belts have for the different pulley combinations ???
Need belts urgently for the 33t/17t pulleys.
also what would the benefits be of going to a larger rear pulley ie: 47t
I am preparing 3 cars at the moment.
1 is for mod, 1 for 13.5 and the 3rd for 17.5.
currently running the 33t/17t pulleys on the mod car.
