4. Does the car have any sort of front brace? If so, remove it. Front braces are one of my favorite adjustments.
I'll bump up the spring to Associated Gold. I'll run 10,000 CRC.

The electronics all moved rearward. However, the moving of the motor far forward is a new concept to me. Could you elaborate on this? At the moment, I would say the motor is full rearward.

Yes, the car is running a front brace withe a rubber o-ring sandwiched between two brace posts.

Main chassis and pod 2.00 mm front and rear. Standard chassis is 2.5 mm, I was thinking a thinner chassis will produce more mechanical grip.
