It was more of a statement of my experience and choice rather than a recommendation. A reliable recommendation would need to come from a person that has run both cars at the location of the person that wants to buy the car.

LVD'S
Has anybody noticed a hitch in the LVD? I have one that is smooth when it rotates and one that has a hitch in it. I have been looking at it and twisting it and have taken it apart and there is no bure's or any debris inside. Any idea's? If you haven't I noticed when slowly spinning the drivetrain with the steering at almost full throw that the wheel would lock up. All you should check, let get a solution if it is a problem.

Tony: I noticed that after all our battery connector discussions here before the car came out, a lot of guys ended up just hardwirinig anyway because there is so much room to get it done.
But I have to tell anyone who hasn't tried it, nothing beats those laydown Corally connectors. Its easy as pie to get the pack in and out and you don't have to worry about keeping a hot iron (helpful for windy days at the track).
Heres a look at how my wiring with them ended up.

i also noticed that your not running the stand offs why is this?
#4750
Not running the standoffs is an option for racing on uneven surfaces where you want the chassis to have some flex.

As for the standoffs, like JRX-S Bill said, its a tuning option. I do 98% of my racing on asphalt parking lots which don't require the ultra stiff set up that carpet or permanent asphalt tracks might.

Got my test race in at Speedworld yesterday with Matt Francis providing a lot of support to all the new JRX-S owners. Most of us JRX-S newbies being in Expert Stock.
Other than the basic kit setup, I had 17.5# springs at the rear, 60/40 oil in the stocks and one o-ring in each of the shock bladders. Matt agreed with the positive potential for all of these changes.
Got a few things to pass on...
#1) I had originally set the up-travel limiters to 5mm front and rear. Matt backed them off so they weren't functioning in the rear and to something like 8mm in the front.
#2) Matt thought the suspension was tweaked. So he followed what I normally do on my 1/12th scale car to set tweak. Said that he never used balance beam as I had.
#3) Matt set the toe to 1 degree of toe out for more steering.
#4) Using an Airtronics 94357 servo with the kit steering arm I was not able to get lock-to-lock steering. No adjustments with my new Helios radio would achieve this either. Therefore, I installed a slightly longer aluminum arm to achieve lock-to-lock and adjusted it downward from there.
#5) The barriers at Speedworld are pretty unforgiving. I had my front outside rod ends pop off 3 different times after minor touches of the barriers. We found that the 4 degree spindle carriers were making contact with the underside of the front camber tierods. Just filed away a bit of the bottom of the outside rod ends to create some clearance. No problem with the rears.
Matt asked me to post a another picture of my Corally plug setup on my battery packs; but, I see that a previous post shows the essence of that. I am loving that!
That's it.
