Yep. Watched it and evrything. Just goes to show that the .18TZ is too powerful. You don't have enough time to brake or dive into the turn as fast as a less powerful engine. I can't wait for the warmth so I can run my R40 again. Already got an inch of snow on the ground and the rest is being swirled and twirled all over the place.

Ok
ride height 4mm front 5mm rear
front toe in= none
rear toe in= 2.5
front camber 2.5
rear camber 2.5
front one way aluminum diff case
stock rear diff case
graphite towers, belt brace and steering brace
team orion .12 turbo engine with team orion tuned pipe and header
still need to get the chassis and the LW 2 speed tranny
I have not gotten them because the competition here is about equal, but except with my friend buying that .18 engine that just makes his car swirl all over the place jeje

Cool. I wanted to do that with my HB, but the parts I need the LHS doesn't have. So I said, eh NVM then.

I've seen a digi cam small enough to fit on the R-40. I forgot the brand, but it's almost identical to a CASIO digi cam with the difference that the casio only has 30 second video clips while the other has almot 10 minutes.
