RBLove/The Teacher-I'll get Paul Wynn to post his normal traction carpet set up from Grand Rapids and his Stupid High traction setup from Cleveland.
MarkG-You if you bring 2 pairs of Pit 24R's and 2 pairs or Pit 27R's you will be all set for the week of racing. Use Echo J4430M-Medium High Traction Inserts on a light flexible wheel like Pro-Line Velocity of Cross Dish. This is my carpet setup from Minnreg (same type carpet as SnowBirds):

The car handled like a 1/12th car. Lots of steering and corner speed. I will try 27R's next time in front to make the car a bit less responsive.
Ottoman: MDI racing is your best bet. Speedtech R/C is getting thier cars next week.
Sandor-The UK team drivers say the Grey front can be run Stock and Mod as loose as you can make it with no skipping. You should run the rear black belt if you run Mod. The grey rear is only apporved for Stock and 19T Spec mod.
The center link is adjustable. I trimmed the ball cups by 2mm each and installed a 25mm turnbuckle. The top plate slot is big enough that you can adjust it while it attached. Making it longer will reduce ackermann to a point and make the car more stable off center.
Cornerspeed-The screw holes on the kits you guys are getting are larger than on my preproduction kit! After about 20 screws I chucked a 2mm driver in my cordless drill/screwdriver and things went a lot easier. If you use the stock self tapping screws the car goes together very easily. If you have to have to use hex screws get a tap!
