Come on Race Day!!!

So, another race day down and I couldn't be more impressed... every time I take this car out, I get faster and faster... just making minor adjustments. I have only ran 12th scale twice (RC racing altogether about 8 times)... and today, I qualified 2nd and placed 2nd... but every time I went out, I was faster than before... a few operator errors kept me out of 1st... but I'm working on consistency and the Rebel is, without a doubt, my favorite car to drive.

Great results for the Rebel at the indoor Nat's learned some cool set ups, cured the front ride hifght issue, and got lots of feed back about the car (thanks). Next up is on road this week end!

Make 2 thin shims out of scrap body material loosen the 3 front arm screws slid the shim between the chassis and the lower arm on just the inside (one shim per arm) then retighten all screws. Try it, it works.

In other words, does that mean that the A-arms are NOT going to be flush with the chassis. When looking at the car from the front are the a-arms slanted? That's what it sounds like to me from the description. Wouldn't that mess up some of the steering ackerman/throw. Or is it just minimal enough to where ya can't really tell. I've heard that they are making new arms to fix the ride height issue, but not sure, just heard through the grapevine.

team tamale is making lowered steering block for the rebel. there maybe 2 versions. if you use the stock axles, the offset of the block will allow you to run smaller tires. the threaded axles could not be lowered as much

Diff
Why cant i get my 12th scale diff as smooth as my photon
Is it the spur that comes with the kit
Hasnt got the tear shaped ball holders like the photon
Do you think that is the reason or am i doing something wrong
