The more wing you run, the more pressure you generate on the rear tires. The faster the car is going, the more pressure you generate, in an exponential curve.. So in general, more wing = less steering at medium and high speeds, more rear traction at medium and high speeds. It also affects pitch balance of the car in the air. All of my testing with this car so far, at least for me, pushes me to run less and less wing. YMMV

Well after five full race days and countless packs I broke my first part. Busted the upper mount tab off the gear cover. Landed motor first off our massive triple. I also replaced the inner rear ballcups after they stretched out from many high speed tumbles.
For grins I put a Orion 6.5 in and was able to lay the power down, well almost. Wheelie king! Diff still smoooth.
I want to try a shorter rear tower. Maybe get a more progressive feel from the rear end. If you bottom out the chassis you still have a ton of up travel from the wheels in stock form. The rear spring is no where near being fully compressed. By no means do I think its required but as someone who usually just throws on a setup and just runs Its nice to try stuff a little outside the box.

I usually ran 8 over with my B4 (81 spur) and a 12x2 on pretty decent sized tracks.
A 21 would be just under and a 22 just over the equivalent with a 81 spur.

shocks
is it normal on this buggy to have to compress the rear shock to put the bottom screw in? the rear shocks seem very long and they cant compress all the way because of the pistion hitting the cap is that normal? i was just wanting to make sure.
