i have talked with greg alot about things.as for set-up also depends on traction.like horsham has mad traction...dont know if the place you run at is as high.anyways i have found some simple things to do which include standing the front shocks up.spring rates....go down one softer spring in the front and back.i have noticed running a thicker spring in the year keeps it from coming around.softer allows a rear end steering.droop also will help with the car overall roll and how it feels.try running like 2mm over ride height in the front and 2.5mm over ride height in the back.this also should allow for more entry...and again this is things i have worked with and felt that it worked for me.

Thanks, I'm heading to the track now. We have really good traction with lots of newbees traction rolling till they get help. The track has lots of low speed infield with 180's and switchbacks, so I defenetly want to keep the rear planted. Thanks for the help guys, I have been running a HB for the past 7-8 months and just couldn't get comfortable with that car and ran a faster lap time first day practicing with the type-r so I have high expectations for this car now! Thanks, Greg.

anodizing
Ive really wanted to anodize my losi but have come up short finding out how to get it done. Can you point me in the right direction. I'm about to order a new kit and I'd love to get it anodized. Thanks

Did you have to remove the Losi anodizing before sending it in?

OK, first race with the type-r, qualified 2nd and finished 3rd (driver choked, the car was there) out of 14 17.5 sedans. The track owner and others all said "You did more in one night with that car than 7 months with the other car." I am very happy with the car, I think I found a new home!

Thanks guys, that is something to read! Have many tried Lucas Urbain setup? It is quite radical... deck cutting and so on. For foam should I start with Matt Howard setup?
