Thanks Andy,
I received mine on Saturday...... I am looking forward to the Motorama race this weekend. I am looking forward to the race because I want to try a few different JC tires. I will let you know how I do.
Later

I received a new set of Goose Bumps for 1/10th this week. So I mounted them up and brought them to my local indoor track to show them off. (not the right tire for indoor surface) After a full day of people squeezing and rubbing on them. There should be a lot of sales in this area. Tires that come with the right insert....what a CONCEPT!
Best of luck, and take/get some pics to post up!

So, if my B44 is always oversteering on-power coming out of the corners, I should stuff the entire foam into the fronts? It's just a wee bit too easy to steer with the throttle, and the car is too aggressive when I get on it coming out of the turns.

I cant really say at the moment. I know that we havent broken into that market, so it may be tough to find our product for a little while. If you can catch Frank at the track, Im sure he's more than happy to help. If you need any pictures or information I can help in that regard.

Curious if anyone is running MAX AMPS saddle packs in there BJ4WE?
I have a pack of 4400s that I plan to run. Wondering what some suggestions are for making the battery mounts higher so to allow for these saddle packs? I considered using body mounts from a TC3 to make it taller. I have also heard of people using "All Thread" to extend the posts and make them taller.
Haven't driven the car in a while, i recently became a father.

I have been using the MaxAmps 4400 mAh LiPo saddle packs in a BJ4-WE for 6 months.
I removed the stock plastic battery trays from the car and removed a portion of the cell dividers (using a Dremel) in order for the LiPo pack to sit flat on the chassis. Since the LiPo pack is more narrow than sub-c cells I did not remove the entire width of the cell divider. Instead I removed just enough to allow the LiPo to fit snuggly (keeping the pack closest to the drive shaft).
No modification is required to the battery mounts if you perform the modification I mentioned.
Experiment with how much weight to add back into the car. It will depend on what type of surface you are running on. I found that on high traction tracks I could get away with using less weight. On low traction (outdoor) tracks I found more weight helped "plant" the rear of the car and keep it from "coming around" in the tight corners.
