Only worse manual is the Schumacher Cougar manual. It wouldnt really be all that difficult for them to just take the pdf they already have on their website and use it as the manual. Maybe they are in newer kits, mine didnt even have you installing the two small braces under the back top deck. Very bad. However with that said using all the on-line tools, the build from then on out went perfectly, however I did find I am missing more parts.
What are you missing?

It's all about the track conditions, time of day, where the moon is in orbit around the earth. A million things can change why a tire will work one day, and wont work at all the next. This week is the new layout at OC/RC for the big Stock race they are having this weekend, and no tire is going to work well for at least 2 days, by thursday everything will work just as it had before minute towards 5pm when the track gets a little loose (dry, and blown out in the corners) and you lap times drop a few 10ths of a second. Clay is a fickle thing, can only imagine how loose dirt is (shrug)......

I'm thinking of getting a 210(my first 2wd buggy) as soon as Tower has them in stock to take advantage of the super saver discount.
What is the preferred Lipo of choice, shorty or standard stick pack? And what capacity Lipo's give a good balance of light weight and decent runtime, 3800/4200 shorties or 5-6k sticks?

I did replace the bearing and rebuilt my driveshaft. and I have no droop screws installed (more off power steering). I notice it with freshly balanced wheels as well. I think it happens when the outdrive transitions fron the worn part to the non worn part. Let me know what your guys cars do? Thanks

That's something we've been meaning to try but haven't gotten to it. With all the rear grip the car has it may work well, but we haven't had much time for testing- more just tweaking on race days.

updates on DEX210. Kyosho Grooved X-Rigns, shocks feel 100 times better without having to upgrade to ti shock shaftfs, and they dont leak. Losi 22 Ball stud washers, using these with 6mm to get rid of all bump stear on the car.
Losi 22 Shock internal limiters. I had problems with the imprecise measurements witha droop screw, using the Losi 22 washers gives me the exact 3mm I need to remove excess droop which caused transmission noise, inside of rear shocks 3mm. Ran this setup today and its better then a B4.1 in super stock, or 8.5 modified, shaved 3 seconds off of my B4.1 times from 6 montha ago. This car RULES!

with the 6mm of washers under the steering ball studs, ZERO bump steer. Car is amasing! Nothing else can even clome close not even my second favorite car the RB5 with the big bore shocks (wish was a darn fine car). Definately pick up the x-rings for the shocks, huge difference in smoothness.
