hopefully that all made sense, been meaning to post it up for a while, just havnt got round to it yet haha. one thing tho i did notice the reactive caster is better for rubber tyres, i found it made the car a little too aggressive on foams, although i run eagle foams so that cud be the reason, il test the reactive caster with other foams next time im out.

cheers ray,
I reread this a couple times and don't get it but I haven't gone out to look at the car to try to figure it out.
