Thanks in advance. Much appreciated.
Yup, same springs. Pink front, silver rear is generally standard issue.

My experiece with the type b is more roll and the car rotates.
type a I get more overall downforce and a little more stable.
It also depends on rear wing cut out and if you use the side dams or not.

Ive never tried any other brand bodies since I was the one that always wanted to look a little different on the track

There are several more pics of that car on RedRC. One minor complaint, he has the tensioner for the middle belt on the bottom, tensioned side. You should always put tensioners on the slack side which is the top for that belt.

One major complaint from me is, having to run those small packs you only get 3800mah. I tried modified on a low grip track and was drawing 2500, you'd have to lose punch by the end of the run, no?

Technology has been evolving soo quickly in the past few years. Im sure a shorty lipo can/will hit high mah ratings in the future.....

My mind is also blown away also... If this is a prototype. Time will tell how good the design can get.

No official HB car.... just had to much time.. finished the car on Thursday evening.
Some parts are not perfect yet, but it works really good.
Runtime is no problem, needed about 2800mAh for my fastest qualifier.
Regards
