A few other things to note, I saw some comments earlier about the wing mount. This is actually an awesome design, easy to take off, and the mounts flex in just the right way so you don't break a wing or the mount, but strong to keep the wing steady.....serveral racers really liked this when looking at the car up close.

I ran some tires I had mounted on A/E wheels. The fit is really good. Depending on your wheel and bearings your might need a couple of motor shims to get the adjustment correct...again depends on the bearings and the wheel you use. I used one shim on each side. The off-set for the A/E wheels compared to the Academy wheels are the same, so you don't need to worry about that.

I put probably 20-25 runs on the car and some were 8+ min practice runs. and the outdrive still look like they show no wear and this is a track where you could do wheelies on demand. The car is still perfectly tight, no slop from any plastic.

Great job David, sounds like the car is going to be very competitive. Now we just need to get them out to all the drivers so we can win some races! Thanks for the update and pics! Nice to actually see the car in race trim with dirt on the tires.

I was waiting for someone to point this out. Wow Factory is located in Korea. Being that ACADEMY RC is in Korea, WOW FACTORY was able to get there cars before the US did.

Good racing at Chilli again Dave. The car definitely looked good. It was cool to see the Academy and Kyosho cars able to hang with the B4.

I think one of the coolest things about Dave Alberico and the GV2 this past weekend is that we sent him 1 complete car with "0" spare parts what so ever. He started running it on Thursday, ran it all the way up until Sunday and didnt break ANYTHING! Hats off to Dave for an excellent run this past weekend!!!

Dave A.,
Would you say it drove like a AE (from the front) or like a losi (from the rear)
Thanks

Mertz the dirt there is just like the dirt at CRCRC so the setup should be a good start. I have raced at bolth places.

David - Can you measure your ride height?
TIA

No kidding... I was going to mention that too. This track was brutal. The hard pvc pipes/couplers will rip a wheel clean off the car with one mistake.

On Friday (practice) our group of 8 guys broke 31 arms... almost all right fronts. That's from being aggressive learning the track. I broke 3 times on the same corner until I finally changed my line there. Saturday-Sunday we stopped the bleeding mostly.

So Dave had to be very disciplined in his driving to get through the weekend clean... and still managed to be fast.

Fred - I'd say it is more in between a B4 and a Kyosho with the stability as a Losi. It is a very forgiving car. It suits all kinds of driving styles

Tony - I ran Arms level. But I can make an exact measurement if needed.

GlassDoctor - Spelling out Team Iowa with the broken A-arms was funny.
