Any RP24s in the works?

Nah--I sold two GenX's because I really didn't like them once I got one of them built. Several reasons, but I was sure glad I hadn't sold my two $400 brand new 3.2R's!!
I don't need TCS-legal as it'll just be for fooling around between rounds, etc but I DO want to stay with the rubber tires (less maintenance, longer life).
Any setups appreciated.

My set up with foams on Ozite carpet (car on the ground weighted with everything):
Yokomo SSS shocks
Tamiya short blue springs front*
Tamiya short Yellow springs rear*
50 wt shock oil all around
Silver (hard) swaybars front and rear
2 degree rear toe uprights
About 1/2 degree front toe out. (it will toe-in on compression)
Stock upper link for front camber
TL01 upper link for rear camber (see my other post about this)
TRC Plaid front foam trued 58mm, CA sidewall (60mm will work about the same)
TRC Purple rear foam trued 58mm, CA sidewall (60mm will work about the same)
Tamiya stronger servo saver w/metal ring
Tamiya Manta Ray ball diff tight as possible still with diff action
Raise the shock collars all the way up to get car as low as possible. Chassis is ~ 4mm at the lowest point near the front
ESC and receiver placed in the opening near the rear of the chassis. (Low as Possible)
Bearings all around
If running on smooth surface:
I have not done this yet but put in o-rings or fuel tubing in the shock as you built it to reduce or remove the droop. This will reduce weight transfer to the rear and front wheelspin on-power.
3200 Lipos work but Nimh work better because it weighs more.
*Springs are individually packaged. The ones that are packaged as a set of blues, yellows and reds are longer than the ones I'm using even though they say they are short springs.

On another note. Is there a really good brand of bearings u folks use on the M03/M. ceramic vs. steel? any thoughts?
how low can u go

on asphalt i run mine 4mm in the front 6mm in the rear, but my rear springs are soft and with lots of droop. remember, when a fwd car turns a corner quickly, it has a tendency to 3 wheel, like a dog peeing
