I may be over simplifying things, but I usually equate stiffer settings in the rear (springs, swaybar, etc) loosens things up when you have to much rear bite. So I am now confused that this new stiff chasis makes more traction. Someone please assist with an explaination.

So after decorating it with tire weights it legal however with some bumps n crashes some flew off. I need to use that Gorilla glue my bro in law has.

Are you using LiPo battery packs?

We ran on it about 2 months after they repaved an unswept, no spray it was incredible even with pollen all over the track. I quit racing toy cars to build another winning O.D.B.A. Allison. I return rite after the "sealing" and it likes tyres and feels Greasey. In all FAIRness you need to understand that the track temp at the first forrgass race and the club stuff we ran over summer was well above 135 deg. farenhieght. I will say in the morning after the spray had dried and before the sun warmed everything it was stuck, and I mean stuck. So by day two of practice for the winternats forbidding rain it should be stuck,stuck. U no them bords is metal rite?

Is that hole closed or still is there? was a nightmare for me, making the turn almost blind is tough.

The repave changed more than one thing. In the sweeper at the out side edge the new pavement is about a foot thick. Its almost flat as far as camber goes. The back straight still pulls a little to the outside,the vaccum effect is still there if you go wide. Ther have been some small layout changes to slow the lap times down(swager was runnin 11.7-11.8 sick) and it seem like there are more comfortable places to pass than ever. Over all its flat fast and kicks azz. The damn tires are still there in the left turn of the s'es...

Guys I'm running an MRX-4 not R and I'm wondering if anyone else experienced a lack of steering with the car. The car is ok but I notice other cars ie. Kyosho/Delta, and 960's that have a lot more turn-in and just seems to rotate better. I'm running the bow setup exactly except I tried the short wheelbase. Any suggestions?
