Or, you could buy the Kimbrough, and still have your servo protected in a crash?

This is true. I've run old beaters tires outdoors on crap asphalt, and I'm thinking they'll be good to go for some racing again this Sunday. I'm telling you, flaming sandpaper is not a good racing surface.

Very glad to help. I had a lot of problems with the car getting weird, too.

Actually, under power, it will toe in. (wheels pulling forward against a fulcrum...yada yada yada...) Unless, of course, there is some suspension action I'm not taking into account.
