You better call associated and tell them to make more steering blocks! Doesn't Chili use hard pvc for pipes? ouch!

If I can get my truck to handle like Randy and Chris' trucks, hitting pipes will hopefully occur much less frequently! I took Renger's truck for a spin after the races Tuesday, and his truck was the most dialed truck I've personally driven at TCHR.

Good job John! I curious where you think the T4 is better? looks like they can enter the corner with more speed. Tossed around the idea of trying a T4, I think we'll just try to get the Losi better. Doesnt seem as big of a difference running mod.

So your saying that the first time out with your T4 you beat your MF2's best time by 5 seconds?!? Sound like a AWESOME truck!

Hey Rex,

While I got pretty close on the MF2's setup, it just didn't have that "locked" feel. Like Randy said, I put the T4 together Friday, and on Saturday, the truck's first race day, I beat my MF2's best time ever on that layout by over 5 seconds.

Where is it better? Just feels like traction is higher all around...can throw the truck around without getting all squirrely. You're more than welcome to drive mine next time you're at the track if ya like.

I can't say anything other than the T4 is instantly faster for me. Now if those pesky steering blocks will hold up, it's all good!

Hey fellas,

Is there electric racing this coming Saturday (01/07)? My bro and I are thinking of racing, but weren't sure what the schedule was.

Thanks!!!
