Keven on World Tour
Just so everyone posting questions know Keven is away on a little World Tour. He has gone to Thailand for the TITC race this week and then next week he is traveling to Spain for an ETS race. He will not return to Quebec until March. So he might not get to your questions for a while.

I had a question on blinky mode with the Lrp SXX vs the stock spec. On the stock spec both the turbo/boost and feel profiles have to be set to 0 to achieve blinky, but with the SXX just the turbo/boost has to be set to 0...so you could essentially run the feel profile at 10 and get a more aggressive throttle profile. Wouldnt the SXX models be better for blinky for this reason? Thanks!
Anyone in the know feel free to answer!

Just bought a couple of Reedy 65c 6500mah 1s batteries. I love them! One problem the inner tube of the battery that the male bullet slides in is super tight.
I thought it was the piece of plastic before the female tube so I took an exacto and slightly reamed it. Got the male bullet to go in a little more. Now the big problem was that it got stuck and in trying to wiggle it out the inner tube on battery spins now.
I checked the batterys power and no go! Talked to Stormer Hobbies (great service by the way). Told me to call Associated and they said to send it and they will check it out. I hope they can fix it cause I really like my new batteries. They gave me the strongest run time yet. I was using TQ bullets and they fit inside all my other batteries some loose and some just right.
I was told about the Associated bullets and I think I am going to be ordering some of those soon. I like the way you can solder to the top of them and that they flare out to grab so they wont slide out! No advice needed, just wanted to tell you my story and I learned my lesson. thx

Hi Everyone, sorry for the delay. Like Sean mentionned I was away for over 3 weeks so I had very limited access to internet so I will try my best to answer your long overdue questions.
Hi,
If I was to run on medium bite carpet track witrh sorex 28, I would start with my SuperStock setup from IIC. I would add maybe half a mm of uptravel and work it from there. This setup is what I usualy run everywhere on carpet.
Hi,
I usualy give my car a little push and then measure ride height. mine usualy has about .5mm difference but never 1.5 ! Maybe you could check your shock oring to make sure nothing is bound up or in the suspention parts see if there is anything sticky ? if not maybe your oil is too thick ?
I am too late already, looks like his car is awesome already
I don,t have a picture right now but I usualy measure a little below the screw on the arm where the arm have a little nub to take that measurement. Also what I do most of the time is set it with uptravel with a ride height gauge and then juste make sure it is even with the ae gauge.
Good to hear the situation has been taken care of ! good luck in your racing.

not in the main. and i would of won if i wasn't peeled. oh but that is more than enough haynes talk on the hebert thread.
keven - i'm happy to see you (and most of AE) will be representing ROAR at the Worlds. hopefully you've learned some new tricks while racing overseas that will come in handy. i gotta say that outdoor track in the Amsterdam is just scary looking. if the real track races anything like the game play in VRC, i'd need 8 complete cars to finish the week of racing there.
