MikeR.. Do you happen to have the part # for the alum. dog bones. Couldn't find them on tamiyausa? I thought the hcca bearings were approx 2-3 grams lighter per bearing?? Which leads me to think that a 28 gram (approx.) weight savings could be achieved, not to mention the rotational weight savings. Thanks--Al

Finished 5th in the Seattle GT1 TCS. The other one, my son broke a rear outdrive on the first lap. I think all the rest were those fancy carbon fiber cars.

I don't see how you'll lose that much weight with ceramics since the biggest stock bearing weighs only 1.9 grams on my digital scale.The smaller axle bearings weigh half of that.

Pretty interesting. About the fr. block (1X and 1XD) so it's 2 deg. Am I correct ?
What's the different between 1XD and 1D ?
You don't put any spacer below those blocks to make anti-squat, anti-dive ?
How about the caster angle on C-hub of lw suspension ? Is it 2 degree ?
Arms are lw. but you use 46mm, is it okay ? No rubs the alum ring ?
Thanks for the setting, I might try.
I'm after a setting for long straight with big sweeper then C curve - short straight - chicane - medium straight - S curve - back to long straight.

hey big al the only performance parts i have put in is a front 1 way and centre 1 way and thats pretty much it.
i have been looking at the carbon tub from tamiya to stiff it up abit more.
am also looking for a good setup and gearing for a tight track with a 25m straight(out side)
kind regards ash (tamiyamanuk)

but i wanna run the black can in wkly stock races, see where its at and to save $$ i cant afford on keepin monsters/cobalts purrin' nicely. thx
