Anyway, I combed this thread a while ago and remember seeing some of the similaritys between the Type R and the JRXS pro listed... I know a guy who still has a huge parts lot and offered to give me what was in it. He had the pro. I know the shocks are identical plus I've cross referenced some of the small parts as the same; but I'm curious what else carries over? (I used the JRXS layshaft in my build BTW.) I am most curious about outer suspension parts. Thanks...

C-hubs, rear blocks, some of the bearings, body mounts, the arms will fit but i've never seen anyone use them, the rear lcd's i think are also the same or similar. Haven't tried the hinge pin blocks yet but they look similar the type r ones are beefier though, haven't bent one yet and i used to bend them constantly on the pro.

(I am running a pretty stupid amount of power for how tight our track is though...

)

I am wondering if it would be cool to try the 6 degree blocks? Our track is pretty tight on medium grip carpet. I think my car handles pretty damn good even being excessively over-powered, so I'm curious the difference...

jaco blues

i meant a setup for jaco blues on asphalt not carpet, sorry.

was also wondering what the difference was between 1 degree hub compared to a 1 degree offset hub? how would the car react, and which ones r used the most for asphalt setups.

thanks
Luis

Here is fairtrace's setup from the reedy race, but honestly I ran virtually the same setup on asphalt this summer as I do now on carpet, except that on asphalt I used narrow hexes all around, and use wider on carpet.

I ran my car with the plastic tray and by the time I placed the lead on the opposite side of the ESC to ballance the car I was about 6 grams over weight. With the tray, I was almost 90g over. This was on foam tires with a trakpower 4900 lipo, and the Losi esc.

Weight it all out and get in balanced and than see if you really need it.

Thanks for your help guys!
