Thanks roy.

Finally raced the f1 with other 3-4 pans cars. What a blast it was to drive and what a difference paragon fx2 makes. Went from babying it to half throttle in turns and full at exit...cant wait for more driving

This was with the very same hard pits tires that im having issues at another track

Do you use the paragon FXII on rubber tires?
And is it the basic and then use another tire additive on top of it or is this the only tire additive you need?

Not sure as im not an expert in additives. All I kn ow is that I ran it first heat with out anything, it was 55 degrees outside and I had no steering and rear traction was hit and miss.

2nd heat comes up without paying attention so I had only put the paragon fx2 for maybe 3-4 minutes on all 4 tires before I had to wipe it off and rush to track. Then I was oversteering and had tons more grip.

3rd I added paragon and put tire warmers, I traction rolled 2 times on outdoor asphalt.this is by far the best traction ive had until my lipo dumped because I forgot to charge it after the first 2 heats

Same crap + aluminum motor mount and rear carbon piece.

Shoulda included trf damper instead. And 1031/1032 tires instead of the body set.(if the body set is included)

It is still a better buy than f104v2. I will pass on this one and wait for ....

Default 53136 One Piece Ball Thrust Bearing

How do you install the 53136 One Piece Ball Thrust Bearing?

Does it replace the diff spacer?

Thanks
