Is there a stock setup sheet available for the 2015? The one in the manual is blank. I remember this being asked before but cant seem to find it on this thread. I checked petitrc and the standard sheet seems to be for an older year model.

Thanks!

On carpet hi traction at AOC China i ran the Aluminum Chassis with the x braces. the car was much more consistent. I also asked Hayato if he had tested without the braces... Said Umino wont let them try it... its not worth it... However in low traction club racing i was running the Graphite chassis without the braces.... it seemed better with the extra flex... so its completely up to you and your driving style.

About aluminium chassis is also useful on high grip meanwhile tight and small layout?

Best regards

I have just noticed that one of the x-plate screws was missing on the tope right of the rear of the car. I was wondering if this can make my car predictable and loose on corner entry.

Is the front belt supposed be very close to the right steering wiper arm? The clearance seems to be a less than 1mm on my car, and is in fact rubbing slightly from running as i can see the anodizing come off. The only reason I see is maybe the spool pulley is on the wrong side? I have the side of the pulley with the "40T" marking facing the servo.

Just reviewed the above link... skeptical about yannic using Hitec gear, esp. when his shirt says "sanwa"

On a more serious note - what servo are these guys using? Theory says BLS-V2, but I have heard that it might not be the case

Cheers
