Hello
You running 2 on the rear? It's always best to get rid of the rubber from the middle of the tyre.

Thanks ! I like the car very much and just ordered the floating servo mount and spur new white axle inserts that eliminate the freeplay. What about the roll centres ? Have you guys fiddle around with it ?

Cool
I have fitted the top pulleys, and that made the drive train very smooth.

I don't want original...I want good at a reasonable price...you guys (not you specifically) can keep the funny looking high maintenance touring cars that don't make anyone any faster or slower. It makes sense to leverage what is already working, being original is very expensive and usually leads to some impulse buys by some and then flounders in the market after the initial wow factor wears off.
It seems to me like they got a lot right from the outside looking in on this car. Who knows how good it will be, but I think they went the right way which is a lower cost kit with all of the features expected in Luxury touring cars.

So im about 70% done with my R1 Build and as I was messing with my CVD's I noticed 3 of my 4 are drilled for the use of a set screw to hold the pin and the 4th is not. as I now took a closer look at that one I noticed that, that cvd has MUCH more slop in the joint than the rest. Disassembled the joint to find that all looks fine just tolerances being off. Can anyone aid me in getting a new 50mm cvd?

Hi , I've did a few runs this morning at my local track in Kuala Lumpur. The track condition is bumpy with medium traction. Since the car now has good handling, I've tried to optimize the mid sections of the track . I'm using ORCA MK 2 with Ver. 3 software. and reduce a bit all the settings to suit the 10.5t torqy SP motor and now it works well too in the mid section . The car runs pretty well ! Can't wait to race next month in our ORCA championship. The last round a Spec R driver won in the Blinky 17.5t. I saw the footage and the guy just hold his line till the end, second finisher was fast but did some mistake in field.

Well let me give this a go. I have found that the higher roll center in the rear works well as well as a Lower rc in the front. Keep in mind this depends on what you want to accomplish. My objectives was tire wear and traction levels. The track was high speed and this helped with the digging feel going into the corner. This car runs very similar to my T3' 12 but a lot easier to adjust loosen the screws and slide under the blocks. The xray was a huge ordeal. I have tested this car in mod and 17.5 blinky. This car is awesome!
