My understanding : (I may be wrong 
)
- mode 1: rear gearbox with only 3 screws + 1 set screw in the middle of the motor plate without any shims
- mode 2: rear gearbox with only 3 screws + 1 set screw in the middle of the motor plate with the 1mm shim
- mode 3: rear gearbox with 3 screws + 1 normal screw in the middle of the motor plate with the 1mm shim
- mode 4: rear gearbox with 3 screws + 3 normal screws in the motor plate with 1mm shim for each screw.
I found the mode 3 a good compromise and found mode 2 and mode 1 a little bit to dangerous for my driving skills...

I am a bit surprised the rear gearbox is now screwed only by 3 screws...I was told by top drivers mode 1 and 4 were almost never used (too flexy or too static).
Can't wait to try it, the car is even more beautiful with these new parts, love it definitely

Finally coherent again after a long week at snowbirds. My Evo 2 in 17.5 was plain awesome. Super fast all week, as well as easy to drive. I qualified 2nd, and finished 3rd after a couple mistakes in the main. In 13.5 I ran an Evo car and qualified 9th, but switched to an Evo 2 for the main with my 17.5 setup and was able to climb up to 4th in the main. Not too bad for my first trip to birds. I can't thank Hanulec enough for all the support, I know things arent perfect sometimes but he puts in a ton of effort to help us all be able to run the car, and im extremely grateful for what he does. On to the next one!

My congratulations, Mike!
It is very interesting to see your setups and also to know what style setups (US or EU) Jan Ratheisky and Alex Hagberg have used there finally.

Big thanks to Mike Hanulec for supporting Kyle and I during Snowbirds 2015 and for the past year and half. Thank you everyone on the team that was present for your help. We didn't quite get our cars and driving styles adjusted to the traction Snowbirds presented but there always next time.

I was impressed by the Awesomatix presence at the Snowbirds this year. Many thanks to the team guys who help the racers running the car at big events like this. It's much appreciated.

Just a thought, and maybe it's been asked before: Has anyone changed the 2x4x2 bushing on the dog bone to ball bearing?
