Not the clips. Once upon a time we used spring CLAMPS! With an actual screw that clamped them down.

Ahhh yes Losi used those all the way up to at least the XX series. Traxxas also used them (although we switched to CLIPS).

I hate having to have all these different clip sizes for the 4wd car. Not to mention adjusting ride height is WAY FASTER with the threaded bodies. Cant wait until I can get some threaded bodies for the SBV2

No review?

P.S.: Don't send one to RCCA, please. There not going to give proper feedback.

Mertz- That track is awsome if its not hot it holds moister and you can run slicks all weekend. Last year we had over 165 entries and like 63 were mod 2wd. Lots of fast guys from St Louis, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska reaaly good track.
Dave is a good friend of mine and FAST Go Alberico.
later Jeremy

Hey all, just got back from the track. I think I'm at what would be considered a standard setup. The car is flat out AWESOME! It is very stable like the Losi CR but very nimble in the turns, much easier to drive than a B4 (much smoother). It jumps WAY better than a AE or Losi IMO, lands softer and allows you to stay in the power, even if you are a little out of shape.

I'm actually running setup with white springs all around which is what Dave said will come with the car.

Back for more practice tomorrow, will keep you guys up to date....if you are waiting for a new 2wd buggy for this winter, this is the car to get.
