I would like to stagger the inserts, but unfortunately the track has a spec cs27 tire rule. I use MPH Products T-Rx for traction compound, works better than TQ, comes in faster, and lasts longer too. I just installed the alloy inner mounts and the new rear hubs last night. I also reinstalled the front riser plate too. I plan on going to 80wt front oil (50 in there now) and 60 in back (40 in there now) to help reduce chassis roll. I will be doing a lot of testing tomorrow and tuesday too.

Hey Stlnowin,
The Module should get to you anytime now.Went to Santa Cruz yesterday to test the Teemu chassis. What a freakin' difference. I also tested the spool setup Troy sent me and I still prefer the oneway for now. The car was a handful at first,but after a couple tweaks the car in the main{s} was awsome.Have fun this coming weekend and hurry up so we can work to get the dialed setup for the rug already.

You are using rubber tire's correct? That sounds sort of stiff. The foam guys don't run that stiff. If it works out well for you please pass the set up along. Will this set up have the sway bars on as well? What inserts would you like to play around with in the take off's? Sorry for all of the questions. We don't have a spec tire rule at our track and maybe I can use some of your ideas and let you know how they worked out. We are also only allowed to use TQ orange at our track so we make do with what we can use. Good luck with the testing.

If I could, I would like to throw some Yokomo 37F's or HPI reds up front, but we can't play with the inserts; we have to used the Take Off Pre-mounts. The other cars I race at this track on rubber tires I am between 50-80 on the front oil, with 30-60 in back. But those cars are either tub chassis (XXX-S or TA-04 for tamiya races) or 3mm graphite (Surikarn). I really think this 2mm deck is hurting me, but I can dial around that. Do you have to use TQ orange for smell reasons or some other reason? If it's gotta be odorless, the MPH stuff has zero smell to it.

Noah needed to get rid of all that Yok and AE stuff anyways. It's all Schuie for him from here on out. Our next goal is to switch one of these Tamiya die hards.....oh wait.....we did that with you!
the two old guys will be out sometime soon. Maurer has business matters that has kept him busy and the cop has been playing Taxi (soccer dad) for the kids in the neighboorhood.

we have to use the TQ for the smell. So many people in the surrounding areas know that this is all that is allowed so to switch could cause some problems. The traction is decent when using it. The inserts that you would like to use up front seem like two good choices. Which inserts would you use in the rear to go along with them?
