There are a couple of these showing up at our local track. I'm sure there will a couple of things to work on.

Has anyone noticed any strange handling immediately after putting the car sideways or hitting a dot?
On the bench when moving the pod, the side springs click in and out of the side link recesses, sometimes getting caught on the lip, effectively preloading 1 side spring an additional 2mm for a moment. Your thoughts?

I have a 10.5 (With boost) in for now (First outing with 1/12 tonight) and a 5.5 for when i gain some confidence. The 3.5 will be to see if i can get it round and improve throttle control.... The same way i run Mod TC to improve my stock racing.
Cheers

I flipped the links on my firends and my car, both were much better on the track, much more consistent. Sometimes the norm definately does not need redesigning.
The car was transformed going from 25k oil to 50k side tube oil. sssoooo much more consistent.
I also played with raising the outside front top link 2mm, the steering was so much more consistent, was ultra easy to drive.

The safe bet is speedmind 32f with 30 or 32 rear.
Other brands also work, you can get for example CRC Purple with CRC pink or Magenta to work, but it requires a lot more finesse.
The different type of foam that Speedmind use for the fronts just makes life easier.
