ON THE ROPES...
I have to admit fellow Yokstas that I wasn't too sure if I was keeping my BD. Let me shed a little light:
After building the car and driving it, the BD definitely was a keeper even though a bit more steering was needed. That was two weekends ago... THEN, I built and drove THE RDX. Tons of steering, I was more confident with it, only had to adjust droop, ride height, and put on Sorex 36's; the car's dailed. Uh Oh, the BD has a problem. That was last weekend... My heart strings were being tugged, so today I HAD to run the BD and it was getting dailed in no matter what- AT ALL COSTS. Now at this track I have never ran more than 17-18 laps. Weather was no where near what it was last week but surprisingly, traction WAS BETTER. The Sorex 36's worked just as good today as it has this whole month and the track temp. was only 83-degrees!!! Okay, decided to stand the shocks up one hole from stock and was advised to remove the spacer from the front camber link ballstud. VOILA! The car was dailed. I love the way it feels and I was told that the car looked a little better than the RDX. Best part of all- turned 21 laps the last two rounds 
So in short- I'M KEEPING BOTH CARS Well... and the LCG, but everything else has gotta go 
Thanks for ALL the help guy(s)- you know who you are -JB

Hey Randy I didn't have time to do that one little change to the front camber link...I think I will take care of that before my next outing....
You guys really helped me out a bunch and made things much more enjoyable after doing so poorly Saturday...
But today rocked....
I would have made the E or F if I would have had another qualifier as I had this morning...oh well things happen but (watching a certain couple of drivers almost throw blows in the pits was priceless). Glad there was a couple of guys calming things down...
gotta remember...TOY CAR RACERS....literally...If you take it that serious it isn't fun any more...

i haven't tried the TIR ones...
i'll try to get the part numbers for you tom... but basically these are what you need. rayspeed axles, TC4 bones, TC4 1way outdrives.

BTW. Has anyone got experiences with the new Yokomo BD lightweigth spool? and the locked belt pulley?
