Regarding springs, I was using the golds in the front at KZ (big track) and blacks at Revelation. Golds all around bounced quite bit, even with heavy shock oil, so I went back to blacks with 60 wt in front and 40 in rear. Car was much easier to drive with blacks. I'll compare springs rates with my MTX.

Strange that it was bouncing I have never had that problem. Our track is not really that smooth either.

Re: MTX-3 Rear Setup

Has anyone had time using the MTX-3 rear setup and come up with suspension settings? Compared to my original GRP foam car parts, I had a little more slide in the rear but it was stable and controllable. Tire wear was good in the rear.

You should stay with same front/rear drive ratio all the time.

P.S. I think I already asked you, but do up one of the Proto Stratus 2.1 bodies for me! Just in case I forgot!

Yep you're on the list Vince.
Yeah that gear conversion you got is insane. More rollout would help with the current configuration at KZ. As it was I just barely had enough with new tires. I'm a little worried about the bottom end gearing with that conversion though, so keep me posted on what happens with your testing.
I'll have to try running the smaller fronts then. So by running more even fronts maybe I was straining the belts, because I broke a few a couple weeks ago. Now I've got even more stuff to try. I've also got my eye on a smaller delrin spur gear (43) that I've seen with a certain someone we know in the pits.

Hey Kev, so are we gonna come up to the north to run our small tracks or do I have to come down there to bug you on your cell phone when your turn marshaling 
Oh yea I wish I could race on a track with gearing problems

Well if that is the question you are asking, then I have not seen any indication that the V One RR is going away. As far as parts, Tower Hobbies has most of the parts. But if you want a good selection of factory parts and Hop ups I would suggest you go to RC Model. THey have a great selection of hard to find V One R/RR parts and all my orders were shipped to me within 7 days.

RC Model in Hong Kong
Hopefully this is what you were asking. If not then too bad!

Well you are right the conversion does add a ton more to the rollout, but I have severly geared down to compensate for it. With the 24T conversion I am running a 15/19 pinon with a 45/49 spur. I think as far as gearing goes this may be the ticket. Even Tony sees that I keep up with him on the straightaway. As far as cooking motors, well I myself am still running at 235 (race temp). Getting plenty of rollout at Revelation. Now I just have to work out the handling issues and I am set.
