Yup, I tend to use the cut rear plate when the grip is really low. It just makes the car feel a little more stable.

BTW,Korey,great run at REEDY. Interesting setup to say the least.I can see how the slight but obviously effective changes to your setup from the norm would help free the car up to make the Jaco's work as well as they did for you.I am gonna try some stuff now that you have done so.Again,great job.

Hey Korey, what was your timing set at on your Duo and what were the temps coming off the motor. Also, did you run a fan on motor?
Thanks.

Timing was at the middle hole, motor temps were comming off at about 170 with 2 fans. Without the fans it was around 200 deg.... but that gearing felt the best overall so I did what I could to bring the temps down. The trinity rotors are really good, so even if you get them hot a few times, they can survive it.

Default upper deck ?

Does anyone know when the new upper deck will be out ?
I bought a weight tray that slides under the battery, and I can't use it because
I can't fit weight tray and battery in at the same time... Oh my...
