The Alu screws are M4.
This isn't a problem, you just have to enlarge the joles a bit.

So, at the WC where there are not only 102 racers but they also do 10 minute heats, the track would have a lot of grip earlier in the day.
If you look at the times between groups as well as rounds 1 and 2, you can see the dropping lap times. This problem is getting worse for the Serpent team, their harder shore tyres are still in customs yesterday. Hopefully they get them today but who knows.

Al-Be is as light as aluminum but as stiff as steel. It was used in F1 from the mid-'90s before it was banned, mainly in the gearboxes. The reason why it was banned is still controversial, be it healthhazards or just that it's very very very very expensive.
Seperately, since I use Al screws too and also wanted some Ti screws for my 705. TheBorder didn't have all lengths in stock (I guess) so they sent a lot of longer ones. I cut those to the right length and used the cut off parts to mount the 5.8mm balls on the front and rear lower arms.

Perhaps they just needed to be more consistant on the track with all the irregularities of bumpiness and off camber corners. I believe this is what Julius mentioned. You can be fast but you're off no use when you cannot churn out consistant laptimes.

I'm so amazed of how consistant Mark Green was during one of his qualifiers.

If not careful, that'll also kill the receiver pack !

Mike Meyers said that when he interviewed the designer of the RRR, he was having problems looking at the cars from close to see how the suspension was working. He said he designed the RRR specifically for bumpy tracks and wanted to check how the suspension is doing. Goes without saying ...

Trust me ... the grip level changes quick. My local track (AMCC), proved that to me. This track, like most others in the region, almost always start the day with very low grip. By the middle of the day on a typical club race day (and there not that many racers ... 50 to 60) the grip levels goes up quite a bit. By the time you do the finals its traction rolling time sometimes.
So, at the WC where there are not only 102 racers but they also do 10 minute heats, the track would have a lot of grip earlier in the day.
If you look at the times between groups as well as rounds 1 and 2, you can see the dropping lap times. This problem is getting worse for the Serpent team, their harder shore tyres are still in customs yesterday. Hopefully they get them today but who knows.

Did you know back in the mid 90s there was always what was called a ...(kinda forgot what it was actually called, though) but anyway, during offroad heats some of the racers were always getting faster and faster that eventually TQ'ed and beat the fast (mostly factory drivers) times. It turned out that they were on the fastest track of the day (offroad track became sticky and blue grooved). That lasted until ROAR switched the qualifying systems that to be more evenly distributed. So, a true fast guy can be either in the low grip condition during his first heat and get a high grip track condition in his anothers.
