Anybody running the Mi5 Evo Sway bars on their car? I put some on mine and didn't notice any issues but could have overlooked something.

I'm coming back to racing and I'm quite keen on the Mi6, my LHS carries Schumacher parts and I'm pretty pleased by the price of the kit vs the Yokomo and the Tamiya.
My question though is Amain carry spares, my LHS carries spares. but where else do people buy spare Schumacher bits from?

Been pretty quiet around here...
Couldn't be happier with my car. Been getting used to they way it drives and just trying to meet it in the middle. Consistently quicker with it than my evo at this point. Got my 4th race day on the car this coming sunday then it's prep time for the AZ state championships.
Think it's getting about time to make some changes to the car; how are folks getting on with their cars? Any major changes making big differences in performance? I'm currently running Harper's Ardur set-up. Been quite good, no real complaints. I have finally gotten my fast laps and top 15 avg. to within two tenths. I put that down to just learning the car.
Excited to try the new arms, as I'm not interested in making huge changes but a little more overall grip would be nice. Also thinking Ti Turnbuckles to shave some weight and wake up the car a bit.

I have been running mine on Carpet for 3 weeks now and out of the gate it is as fast as my Evo. Running Phil's from Rc discounts setup. Works really well. Car is heavy though. With The aluminium Chassis, Ti Screws and a 6400Mah Battery, Im at 1390g. Really wish I could get an Aluminium Chassis With cut outs like an Awesomatix.
Anyone have a list of how many packs of the Ti Balls I have to get to do the whole car?

I would have to look at the manual but I think there are 26 ballstuds in the whole car, should mean 13 packages in total. There are at least three different lengths though so you would have to be prepared for that.
I have been using the bliny motor spacer. Running that set-up shaved almost 4 grams from just the pinion and spur; right where you want it. I'm running 59/28 behind my 17.5. It moves the motor back pretty far in the car though so you will need to change your set-up a little bit.

Yup, the car is definitely a little heavy. I think the big ticket is using the shorty battery pack. Then we'll just have to play with a few weights and strategically set those up to make equal weight on all four corners. I'm coming in at 1419 grams with an aluminum chassis, SMC 6000 pack and low profile servo. I've also got the lightweight rear bones. When the TC weight gets reduced to 1350 grams, we're really gonna have to all switch to the Shorty packs just to get to that weight. Cuz right now I really don't think that I'm gonna save 70 grams by replacing the turnbuckles, screws, and ball ends to titanium.

Yeah it needs an lighter aluminum Chassis. I may ask McFactory if they could do one.

Is anyone else going to Vegas for the IIC race? I will be racing my 6 in sedan stock 17.5 and in the Spec gt class with my Mi-5 evo.
