Sounds like you got the car working for how you drive. That is good news and the most important thing. Good luck at the race and hope you do well. Let us all know how it goes. If you need help while you are there just ask and I bet people might have ideas for you. I will also keep a look out for the forum in case I can help in any way.
Good luck,

it was a dream the first run. so i decided to try it out with the 960, as i was running the purple front spring on the 8th. so i went to green front and stayed with the pink rear. no front bar, and 45 rear bar. i then found what i was looking for, and that was steering, with still a settled rear. straight away it felt better. so i got my consistancy in tourer as low as 0.16, and yesteray with the 8th , 0.20 . now to work on the clutch setups more closely, and ill be right. any suggestions there would be great, im using the std clutch spring with both the 8th and tourer. maybe there is a harder one i can use, or something similar. thanks again DJ.

For both clutches use
stock spring
.7 gap
.2 end play
red shoe
tighen the spring to have 1.3 thread showing, as a start. Then tighen till it starts to slip, then back it off just a little at a time till its stops slipping.
If traction is very high and you need more bottom snap, use .8 gap. If traction is not good use .5 gap.
These are just starting points.

I am just about to get the 720 09 and now i see that a totally different and brand new car is coming out in 6 months. But i don't want to wait and don't want to buy something if a new car is in the future so should i worry?
#4763
DJ,whats min. weight for nitro tourer,1725??Is there a max weight?Whats your car weigh?
#4766
Tech Elite
No Max weight. The min is 1725 and mine is about 1740, sometimes heavier if I play with front diff or the insert on the front. But my normal is about 1740
As for a new car, I have not been told about a release date. But if you want to race this season, I would get the 09. You will not be disappointed.

Yea i really understand this car is a great car and i should have no problems with it once i get it set up but im not the type of person who likes to buy a new car every year i mean i have a ntc3 a MTX2 and a tc4 and i liked how they were aroun for a while until a new car came out.
