We managed to finish 1-2 with our Type R's against the latest cars from Top and Xray, and against some great drivers too like Fairtrace and Schreffler who once wheeled Type R's to some really big wins. The lap times really tell the story, Mike had hotlap for the day and I had hotlap for the A main.
Nice!
Two race winning setups from two top drivers.
You can't ask for much more.
I can personally tell you all that these cars were HOOKED up.

Traction went away quite a bit at night.
Did you guys adjust anything before the main from these setups?
Or I guess a better question would be if traction were to increase significantly,what would be the 1st thing you would adjust on this setup?

Donny and Mike.
Thanks for the setups and good to see some top class US drivers coming back. Why the Xray springs and also why even different styles of Xray springs?

Appologies if this has been asked previously, but has anyone ever had any issue fitting the latest bulkier sized LiPo's into the JRX-S?
Considering buying a big 5400mAh+ capacity pack which stands a good 25mm tall and also thinking of swapping to JRX-S at the same time.
Any help appreciated, cheers!

Stu,
Stick with the 5000mah's... the 5400's being taller really struggle to fit, the main issue being the position of the centre layshaft. Simply put, it's too low to fit 25mm tall LiPo's, even using a thinner battery tray, and dremelling the bulkhead as close as possible to the bearing holder... only other option is to space up the bulkheads, but given the issues with geometry changes this introduces, for me thats not an option...!

The xray springs in my opinion make the car carry better cornerspeed, the 2.2 in the rear is the softest spring i could find, however its way too soft for the front. It has a different coil style that makes it much softer then the colored set, just lets the car set and rotate nicely.
Probably the the 17 front and 12 rear would be close, but it is a different feel so id try to get a hold of the springs.

Crazy thing is the Xray guys like to use HPI spring because they carry more corner speed than the Xrays!
Many thanks for the battery help guys, much appreciated.
...I had my eye on the 50C Intellect pack, so that's handy to know. Cheers YmeBP.

My freshly arrived chassis plate is 2.85mm. The previous one that got hammered was a 3.12mm, and the one on my other R is 3.05mm.... Hmmmm
I had tried the laser series and the hpi up front. They all respond differently and for my tatstes the xray colors up front and laser rear was ideal. The hpi felt to abrupt but it is always a tuning option. The losi like to be sprung softer then the xray since it has less side to side weight transfer
