Thanks

Thanks Paul

I tried one of your fans today in my mod sedan. More powerful than the side piece I had been using and it fits on the rsd fan mount better. My motor was 6-8 degrees cooler than it was with the side piece racing.

Very nice piece Paul. Installed nice and clean and blows a lot of volume at a high speed!

Hi Paul-Brian from TS once again,
Got to finally run our XB4 at TS last week with your setup--am very happy with it--the buggy is super dialed and lands jumps/lands very well.
One quick question-a number of guys from the XB4 forum are running their buggy without swaybars and liking it--saying it hooks up a bit better. Just was curious on your thoughts about that and if you've played with running w/o swaybars at all or are you a "swaybar guy" 100% of the time no ifs ands or buts??? I like to experiment so I plan on doing my own testing but still was hoping to get your thoughts--Thanks!!

good luck!

Hi Paul,

On most of your T4's setup, the caster used are 4 or 6 deg....
May i know under what conditions you will used 4 deg and 6 deg ?
It also the same for what conditions to use spring 2.3 & 2.5.......

Thanks!
