This guy is one of those genuine guys that is just having fun! This is is first RC car ever, I helped him earlier in the evening setting the car up and also helped him with his driving. Dude is just halarious here is some of his Pshopped photos:

But to answer your question, yes he was astounded as was I, the car pushed quite a bit more than mine but i was able to drive through it and hold off the 104's until the paragon wore off of their tires and then i checked out!

Glad you got the saver. Ready for Saturday.
The front spindle should have spacers on the kingpin. You probably have all of the spaces above the spindle right now. If you put a couple of spacers below the spindle this will lower the ride height of the front. Be sure to look at the spacers carefully. They are different thickness.

Expert advice
I am looking for some expert advice. I have two races on my FGX and they both started and ended the same. In practice the car was on rails (before traction came up) and each qualifer and main the rear traction mid corner gets worse ( the rear steps out) to the point that I cannot drive the car. I have lots of turn in. My setup is Front 2*camber, 3* caster, FGX soft spring, 0565 soft tire (carpet full Jack) ( med. asphalt nothing). Rear 1*camber, 2* toe, FGX hard spring w/ 70wt. 1 hole, 0561 soft tire (carpet full Jack) ( med. asphalt nothing), ride hight 5mm, diff 70wt. or 1000 wt. swaybar #5 carpet and #3 asphalt. I am cleaning my tires with Simple green between runs. Thanks

Now that you say that, I'm sure I do have them all wrong. I'll sort them out tonight. Yeah the funny thing about the saver is that I already had one that was exactly the same as the one I broke but made out of nylon that I didn't find till scrounging through my parts boxes last night. But at least I have a backup now.

21.5 motors
Can I get a list of motors that fit the stock chassis. I have been thru two Novak ballistic motors with bad rotors, an SS and Reedy sonic that does not fit with 35/35 gearing.
