All my questions get skipped, he'll get used to it.

"Anyone know what those threaded holes in front of the xenon c-hubs are for?"

Oh I see . I have seen the belt thing done before but didnt know about the new items.

Im going to give this tech car a shot and go from there.
might be making a mistake selling the R3 it was dialed the last time at the track . its too hard to run 2 touring cars

that's what i thought too... guess it's another of life's mysteries. I'd make more of those boards but the material is expensive and I don't think i could sell very many.

Default A-Spec setup

Annyone here have a good setup for an R2 A-spec for 19T on saphalt? Id appreiciate it if you can share one with me. Seems like the chassis is really stiff and the setup I have is really nice for stock but not enough steering for 19T Im using #2pistons HPI and red white reyspeed springs. Thanks. Looking for steering.

On all the cars Ive felt with the new belt, they feel very smooth.

I'll be interested to hear what you think about the Tech car, I wonder if Steve is still going to carry them...

Thats cool, I know the 415 will be a huge hit when it's released here.

Dave Bristol was telling me a while ago that the Tech Racing car is going to be the way to go if you're going with a belt car, so I'm sure you made a good decision
