I use to really enjoy offroad, and I used to do quite well in the mod. truck class. I'm just not too fond of what offroad has turned into. I competed in offroad when they still ran on actual dirt and not concret like clay tracks.
I figure if I'm going to run on something that hard, I might as well run onroad!

Man, I don't have much to talk about.....
I wish I did though. The weather around here isn't cooperating. Its warm all week, then gets cold and rainy on the weekend when I have a chance to practice.
I am waiting for the new car. Like I said, I want to see what Corally comes up with. I will probably be getting a new car at the end of this season.(No reason really, just because) I know one car I have a serious eye on is the MissionPro, so Corally will have to come with something sweet.

oh well, i continue with some chit chat....
My C4.1 setup has developed further over the past few weeks, i'm starting to work with setups that are much stiffer than i use to run and this has in turn increased the corner speed of my car.
The track we have been running on is an ultra high grip 1/8th scale track (2001 1/8TH WC track) , that demands a stiff setup. I have now used this setup at my local Friday night medium grip track and my car was untouchable! very fast through the infeild. TQed and Won my last club meet, blew away a few XRAY drivers, one of them is Factory ha ha.
Anyway my setup is based on:
Modified front shock tower (thanks to Cookie/King-G for developing this idea)
Front: short yellow springs, 40wt oil, 37deg tires
Rear: std red springs (serpent part), 50wt oil, 35deg tires
16 tooth oneway pully (medium - loose?), ball diffs front & rear, solid top deck.
10single or 12 single motors
I also try to use the hardest compounds possible like 45 / 40 or 37's, if the car has too much grip then runtime can become an issue. Start with the hard compounds and work back if required.
i use to always base my setups on white or orange spings and 30wt oil.
I'll be looking forward to the new Corally, but at the moment my car (and or my understanding of it) is getting better all the time.

In New Zealand we can use Foam or Rubber tyres for Pro Stock and Touring Mod. As far as I am aware you guys who race in Victoria run rubbers, so when you race at other meetings where you are allowed foams do you run foams or stay with rubbers?
Thanks for your time

In NSW we allow foam or rubber, just like you guys over there in NZ (except for 1 club which recently changed to rubber only).

So have you personally tried a decent set of rubbers to see how they go compared to foams eg Yokomos, Sorex or HPI?
