Yep, I noticed that too. Earlier today, I sent Todd's email address to Brandon to straighten that out.

Sheldon's does have the separate packages of JRX-S one-way hubs to cure the issue for any buyers that want one now though.

I got mine in a couple days after reporting to Todd.

Well I had a so/so day. Car was perfect. Very fast, took no effort to drive. First heat 2 seconds off track record. Second heat broke a rear arm and done for the day. I stocked up on everything but rear arms. Go figure.

Pooky,

Don't worry bro.....I still feel much love for you. I mean hell, you might be the fastest JRXS in the states right now! For you to be able to win races with it....WOW! Just think how bad you'd be spanking Biggie smalls with an XRAY.

Good luck to both of you though, sounds like everyone is as competitive as ever. Might just have to sneak up on you 2 one of these Sundays....It'll be nice to get the new car out..........

guys.....I am putting the kit diffs together and have a question. Do you use black grease on the thrust bearing assembly. It obviously comes oiled but I have always used black grease on thrust assemblys. Thanks in advance for your help.

I think you want to use the Synthetic Grease ( Brown ), That's what I have been using with great results.

Arrow Rubber on Asphalt

All right. Are there any tricks to this car to get this to work with rubber tires on asphalt? Without using a oneway. Need some more turn in.

to answer both of your questions, the car works very good on asphalt with the box stock setup(use the center one-way for more steering), but if you want a killer setup check out the setup that JRXS-BILL posted from 4 fun raceway in hesperia, ca. its the setup that most of the losi factory guys are running and i am also using it and it works great but you have to get the "BK" brackets for it to work correctly. for the brackets contact pookyt. this setup allows you to carry soooo much more speed through corners than any other setup i've tried and you'll be stuck like glue. Trust me you'll love it. hope this helps.

And if you already have the "pooky bars", just getting the optional 10.5# springs for the rear and 40/35 wt shock oils will get you close.

I just wanted to say that I have tried Todd's setup and it works absolutely brillantly!!! I am amazed how well the car performs on rubbers (both on asphalt and contrete).

The only changes that I would like to make are to increase on power steering which Todd has suggested using 2 degree castor blocks. I am yet to try it, as the weekend's race meet got rained out

But my question to Todd and any other people out there, is that in the manual, it says to increase on power steering, use more caster!!! I am not doubting or questioning you Todd, I just want to be able to understand how it actually works (as I am not the brightest spark driving a JRXS)

Leonard.
