Right on, that's where I race so I was curious. I got to check out Dayton Miller's car this weekend. It looks like pretty nice.

Foolio,
The picture was taken at Planet.
It is of Andy Kim's car, he was the gentleman pitting across the table from me.

Here is a link to my SBV2 in action at Winterfest this last weekend hosted by Planet Rc of Indianapolis.
I believe this was round 4 of quals.
I think I could have got the car set up a little better for the track conditions with a little more time.

Hi guys, thought i would get the car finished today but iv run in to a problem,
was just about to start building the shocks when i noticed the Diff hub ring's will not stay in place, and the rear Drive Shafts keep falling out, infact the rear Hubs seem very poor compared to the fronts.

even though there’s no instructions as such iv not been having any problems following the diagrams, everything has been going very smooth until now, and everything looks to be in the correct locations, anyone else have this problem or have an idea of the cause please?

how come the fronts are like the tuning part v-009 that’s available for the rears, but the kit rears seem very poor?

Thanks

For the rear outdrive "savers" I put just a VERY small dab of ca on the edge of the ring and outdrive and that worked nicely and they can still be removed when need be.
Once you have the shocks on the car the drive shafts should stay in place, they pop out due to the amount of down travel in the arms when the shocks are not attached.

As for the rear bones, there is an optional rear universal kit that matches the front, the Pro SBV2 will have these included I believe.

Hey Guys,

MRC/ACADEMY is looking for OFFROAD Team Drivers. Currently we have about 20 drivers on our team, that is very small amount to represent this big market. We are looking for above average racers, with a professional track attitude, and vast chassis/setup knowledge. If you are, or know someone that would like to run for us, that is an accomplished racer, and that has the qualities to represent a company like us, please e-mail me your racing resume to [email protected]. I will answer every single e-mail, no matter if we decide to bring you on as a team driver or not. I look forward to hearing from you, thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
DAVE GRABOSKI
