I guess I'll have to head over to TQ. What tire setup do you guys run there and what's a good gear ratio for 17 turn blinky?

Thanks for the help. I'm sure I'll be asking more questions. I feel a bit uneasy without tweak screws!

jack and black/orange at TQ, and you will be in the hunt. (for me at least) running foam tired pancars on carpet is waaayyy more drivable(is that a word?) than the asphalt at WC. don't worry about tweak screws with a BMI, instead be fussy about balancing the car.
i have some bmi parts if you need some, will be at TQ a week from next sunday (hopefully).

it may be my limited driving or chassis tuning ability, but with 1/12 grip was always a light switch and unpredictable, while TC with rubber was much more manageable.
