Hey!
I have been testing a bit with my car on carpet w/ rubber tires now, and I have found out quite a bit....
I run Sorex tires, from 28 to 36. Mainly 32 and 36, that's usually the fastest tires... Indoors I always use the Blue JB Foam 2-piece inserts. They are the fastest inserts no matter what. Try them instead of normal molded inserts, and you'll understand...
I found that my car was a bit twitchy and not very smooth and consistent. Sometimes it almost felt a bit tweaked too. Since there's a big race coming(http://www.dhi-cup.dk ) I took every part of my car apart, cleaned it, and changed some worn parts. Then I got the idea. Every double deck car has a bottom plate and a top plate. And usually, they are not as rigid as the Demon's. And they still don't have side stiffening braces, as the TC3. So I thought, why do I need them? They're just more parts that can keep my car tweaked if so happens... And without them, my car is maybe a bit softer?
Anyways, I took them off, and after that my car was a lot grippier, a lot faster, a lot smoother, and of course, 100% straight.
The car is still stiffer than any Tamiya, X-Ray or Schumacher out there...

Hey all,
I havent had internet much lately so havent been my usual loquacious self. We re-opned the Gate Sunday and had 74 entries. A small group of us ran 19 turn class including Mike Blackstock. I didnt do so well I must admit. A little dissapointing. The only highlight was in the second qualifier when Blackstock started behind me and for a minute or two he hadnt passed me yet and on that run he went and set TQ.
But as a highlight, my Demon I built just for running stock class TQ'd!!! I let another driver borrow it for the weekend and he set TQ and finished second in the stock A-Main w/ my car.

Brian,
haha-it was so bad that in the Main-when Herrmann was battling Blackstock for the lead-I almost pulled over to watch!! But-like a good boy I kept driving till the tone.
As usual in the Main-I out accelerated the two cars in front of me off the line. This car always launches like a rocket!!!
But I found two bad wheel bearings in the back of the car and also got all screwed up in the head on droop after switching to new tires. How stupid. I put the front at 3mm upgtravel and the rear at 1.5. DOH!!!!
