Many "LW" parts (bulkheads/steering post/layshaft/screws/ball-ends) are being worked on and will be released soon

I put the Titanium turnbuckle kit and screws on and my car is 1450g (LW body) which is our minimum weight here for 5-cell.

You know, the only drawback to all of this is I'm not allowed to make fun of him anymore because we are on the same team now.

ok guys, not sure if i need help or just need to stop being lazy, local track (sir) installed carpet, outdoor pavement still going strong also, carpet on friday, pavement on sunday, last night i ran the car on carpet with pavement setup and on sorex premounted 28's, (spec tire for upcoming traveling point series) car starts of off good and as expected it traction rolls when tires get warm. not wanting to rebuild the shocks and make a tons of adjustments, any quick and easy tips to get the car to work, i do have the thick top deck, 2.5 chassis and 5 cell chassis, like i said, i'm just being lazy and not wanting to switch the car back in forth. oh and this was with a 10.5 brushless and madza 6 body. maybe i should build a carpet car and just use the medium arms for outdoor.

Raise front roll centre, or to be really lazy, just spread superglue over the sidewall of the front tyres to stop them distorting during cornering.

I dont have much rubber tire carpet racing experience, but if Im having problems with traction rolling I usually just go down a step on the rear springs and it takes care of it.
