Thanx
Numan setup as I told you before. Todd was the one that told me to run that setup when I asked the same question before LV. Pookyt makes the brackets but Todd says the new arms should be out in like two weeks. The new arms aready have the hole built in that the brackets are making possible on the old arms. Unless you are in a hurry, wait on the new arms. I have a set that Todd gave me while in LV and they are nice.

Just go with the box setup for now. Only doing half the setup will not work out well. I personally would wait on the new arms, but incase they don't comeout that soon, give Pookyt a PM and see if he has any brackets. Either do the full setup or don't do it at all. You will not like the way it handles being a partial setup.

Yeah. I'm gonna stay with the kit setup and work from there. That rear link on the Numan setp looks awfully short. Looks like the ball joints would need to be cut down correct?

Hey Todd or anyone who knows. Were the team losi drivers using bk brackets or the new arms at the Nationals in Florida? I heard some rumor that some of them tried out the new arms and didn't like them so they went back to the brackets.

I don't know about Florida, but they all had the new arms in LV @ IIC. I even scored a some when my poor attempt at makin brackets out of CF failed and they helped me out by given me some. Todd claims they will be out in a about two weeks, the new arms that is.

WD40 - Everyone was using the new arms, that rumor is untrue. The new arms work great, infact with the new arms you can use the BK hole with foam tires as well.

Yes Andrew is right, you can use the bk mounts now with these new arms. Here is the shock setup that I am using

Front-50wt oil/56 pistons/ 25lb spring
Rear-40wt oil/56 pistons/ 15lb spring
