Interesting that you should say that about HP. What I find, is that on small technical tracks, you need all the bottom end HP you can get to play catch up in case you lose a position or you want to move up in position. It doesn't mean you have to use the full HP on tap all the time, but it it is nice to have it.

. I was thinking about opening up one section right after the scoring tower so that I can just go straight into the right hand sweeper instead of going into the bottom "T" section of the track. Here's some videos of the previous track designs we had. Sorry guys for the electric cars, but at least it'll give you a little perspective on how big the track is. ( This layout, I pulled a 14.1 with an average of 14.6. The fast electric guys ( Juan Aventia, Lex Tyler, and E.J. Evans ) I beleive were pulling high 13's to low 14's with thier mod electric cars. )

( This video, the guys were going backwards with thier mini's to get ready for TCS Nationals. )

The brass battery tray was given to me by Steve Sohl ( Sohlman ). The car makes weight as it is right now. If you use titanium pivot balls and screws all the way around the 4R, then you'll have to use the brass battery tray. My car is fairly stock with just titanium screws.
asw7576: I'll give you the set-up that I used for this track later on today as im just about to leave soon.

I'd love to get my hands on that brass battery tray.
Mine likes to bend a little because of the tight battery fit which causes it to buckle and wears off the first row of tape. I have to re-tape after every main because of it. Kind of a pain. I know a new tray would work for a while but eventually the problem would come back. The brass tray would fix it for good and I wouldn't have to worry about making weight.
Where can I get one?

Really nice but... reduce the tightness of the screws that hold the receiver box are so tight that deforms the rubber cushions and negate their mission, reduce vibrations on the receiver box.
Purple springs?
I just don't remembers what was the last time have been used since I changed to MTX-4... light and dark blues mainly.
Nicely cleaned car but... awfully dirty pipe... tsk, tsk, tsk!!!...

He's probably using the purple springs cause his track is probably low traction.
