big thanks to BMI for all the help this weekend and the opportunity to run the DB10R. my 12R was awesome all day. I had a little bit of a hard time getting the gearing right since it was my first time running brushless in a 12th car but when the main came around i was swapping from 1st to 3rd for the entire 8 minutes. in the end i was able to close a 6 second gap down to one but couldnt pull off the win. the new linear springs worked great and the lowered pods helped get everything i could out of the tires.

heres my setup

Front:

.20 linear springs
10 degree caster blocks (white washers split)
7,000K cst kingpin lube (1/8th buggy diff oil)
Servo flat and all the way forward
Purple fronts 1.68 size
3.5 mm ride hieght

Rear:
20,000K cst damper tube lube
red center spring w/ 40wt. shock oil
Battery: middle hole brace and middle hole chassis
stock flex plates
Novak 4 cell GTB
10.5 motor geared 34/88
3.5mm ride height
protoform speed 12B body
Grey Rears 1.70-1.171 size

car was awesome and i cant wait to run it again. Thanks J and the whole BMI team
