Good...the car handles very consistanly. Pulls a bit to the right on power and I checked the tweak screws to even it out but still pulls. I'll get it right soon. No 1/12th class yesterday, but I put it on the track for some practice...so nice and smooth 
Yesterday was the day of the 05 Xray FT kits showed up for the first time... I think it was an Xray A main except Schreff.

my setup isn't good i expect 
I'll send it over to Wayne for a tune-up 
I was looking at parts at the track, and they have alum CRC t-bars. I was like hmm...interesting, till I saw the price (25 bucks, then I said no) lol
We can talk about the xray.. a lot of xrays flew bats yesterday which blew up and took out electronics... we'll talk I have ideas

JohnB,
Do you think the extra weight was worth the faster lap times??!!?? lol... I've got some of the CRC shocks to try out this weekend. I'll let everyone know how it goes!!

wayne,
ran the bmi yesterday and the car was definately more stable with the batts move forward. I did have one problem though, the crossbrace where the rear body post are mounted snapped right at the screw. I guess I will have to call jason and order a few of those. This is the first piece I have broken on my 1/12 since i started running it like almost 6 months ago.
I love the car though. it just moves around the track so much easier then the stock l4.

I think the best news is the results I got with such a small change. Should be very easy to setup. Going to have to find a good source for some different weights of really stiff springs. I can't seem to find any of the Wolfe springs.
take care
