Hi, i Pm'd you also. I only use my Trims, sub trims, both Expos (curves) sometimes, and EPA's. my throttle is set so it is not full throttle untill the very end, or super close to it.
But i really dont play with anything except steering expo, car is twitchy and a bit hard to drive i will throw a little extra in, ill normally start with 10% and go from their, I only use throttle expo when im running 2cell lipo mod.


Thanks, Paul

Hi Paul, quick question.

How do you choose what shore nitro shoes you are going to use when you go out to race? I'm headed to Kissimmee in December and I'm thinking 35F's and 38 or 40 rears, but I'm not sure.

Thanks!

Paul, I know it's a tough one but you might want to work on the Newport thing. When you get older, carrying the oxgen bottle up the steps to the drivers stand will be extra work plus you are in a position where younger drivers look up to you. We need you healthy so Jason can race against you some day.

Hey Paul! I am setting up my T2R (from the original T2 series) for 13.5 rubber on carpet. Do you have a recommend set up to start from? Is it best to reference the most recent setups from the 009 car rather than the old, somewhat outdated T2 setups? I noticed many of the T2 rubber carpet setups use one ways and CS27 tires while more recent setups use a spool and 32 shore tires.

Thanks man.

Hi, I dont use any other brand parts on my car.
I dont rebuild my car every big race, only when i feel its worn but not much really wears out. as long as the car tweaks out right i just keep rebuilding the diff and greasing driveshafts. sometimes i take two cars but that is only when i am trying something pretty crazy, normally just one car.

No problem, Paul

Hi, I ran a lipo made XII in vegas. My result was not so good with it but i dont know how much i can blame the car (mainly i stunk).
as for the asphalt set-up, I really have no clue, i would see what XRAY has on their site for set-ups. I would look for Teemu's set up from the worlds in thailand if they have that. sorry im not a ton of help

yea i would refrence the newer set-ups for sure. id bet that a new set up on an old car would work pretty well. my vegas set up should mostly apply. Thanks.
