Yes, all about moving the weight to the back which is helpful if you run a shorty pack on medium to low grip tracks. Shorty packs seem to be a little more responsive so moving the weight bias back settles it back down.

Any chance I could talk you into making a side shock mount that will fit this pod?

Very cool pod that I would love to be able to use.
Looks very cool but not likely.

In January we will also have a F1 Pro Tire. The rim will be a different size which will increase speed and turning performance. GQ Tires are always perfection and GQ continously looks to manufacture faster tires.

Can find them at Bruckner Hobbies, SpeedWorld or at GQ America.(website listed below)

Happy Holidays to all !
I have F1 Foam arbors that would be quite handy for these

Glad to hear!

Yes! Pit must have done their homework because this tire set works surprisingly well even in the cold.

I took 1st place at last weekends 13th annual Toys 4 Tots race running the 72 hard rears with 74 soft fronts. Car was planted even in 15deg C weather on an outdoor parking lot track
