Can I consider this an "engraved invitation" to the 19T class? LOL

Have Horsepower, can travel! LOL

bring it. It's going to be pretty fun if it's anything like what we had at Modesto. I leave for the regionals on Thursday. Thanks for helping me along with the motor tuning.

There is a company in the UK that has made riser plates in 0.5mm, 1.0mm, and 1.5mm. Made from carbon. They are the same as the origionals (shape wise), so droop can be a little tricky if you go too high.

Hello,

I saw, that some Mi-2 drivers(for example Temmu Leino at the TCM) use spacers under the Gearbox(Bulkheads),Motor-mount and the centre-pully holder.
But what´s the sense of it ? How does it drive ?

It raises the transmission so that the driveshafts are straighter at ride height. Helps transmission efficiency.

I take it that you're running mod foam then?? The laptimes didn't fall off that much from run to run with the rubber tire's.

Yeah, I just wish foam tires didnt chunk at all. The ones I love are when they chunk from the center of the tire when you dont hit anything... niiiice.

6 sets huh? This is why I tell everyone Sedans will die like 1/10th pan car if too many people start running foam on asphalt.

I have only run once on carpet with the Mi2 but it was also a medium bite track with foams. You can find the setup on www.gearchart.com . You can also try PW's setup on www.schumacherusa.net
