So finished the build last week and had been busy.

Added the common "basics" if you will.

MIP topshaft
MIP Puck system
Cut Gears
Schelle Slipper (SO MUCH BETTER THAN STOCK)
Degrease and oil trans bearings

Using JConcepts Dirt Webs Gold front and rear and a Promatch 4600 shorty.

Broke in the diff and slipper and ran 1 pack. Kind of a rough run as the tires just weren't hooking up and the track was pretty dusty.

Tightened the diff just a CH and loosened the slipper just a CH and took another run.
Much better.

Dropped ride height 1mm front and rear and took another run.
Better again.

Took fourth run after cleaning and saucing tires and the car is working pretty good now. I may loosen the slipper even more depending on the track conditions. When it was dusty the car wanted to spin out on the low speed tight turns, but was really good everywhere else.

The high speed handling is beyond my expectations. Can thread the chicane with full throttle. It also seems to recover from minor pipe hits really well.

Overall, I'm very impressed with this buggy. Can't wait to get some more stick time and make my way into the A mains, where I will never see the podium again. LOL.
