Kyosho Lazer SP/FS aluminum caster blocks
I've never broken a plastic caster block on my XX-4, but I broke 2 caster blocks on my lazer SP the second race day. Its gotta be because they make aluminum blocks for the XX-4 but not for the SP.
Does anyone want to make some money?

Aluminum caster blocks would make it a lot harder to break the front spindles, because they wouldn't flex and snap off the ears and it's not going to make anything else more susceptible to breakage.
That said, they have revised the caster blocks recently. Between that and not hitting stuff (as much...
), you really shouldn't have that big of an issue with them.
Its all causa that damn "big Double".

I like that big double too, You need at least 1 big jump on that tiny layout. I think a nice large triple would be dialed.
But yea the more technical the layout the better you guys will get. Thats what we have been doing the last year and 1/2 or so and alot of us have just gotten a bit better at LIR.

Yeh I hear ya.
Freddy's layout has alot os small rythm style jumps. Mine has more of an on-road flow to it but still packs in some good air-time. If the jumps are placed right then you'll need to be smooth and set up for the landing or you'll blow the trun. The jumps can be made as big as Mark wants on my layout also so the potential for "big air" is there, it's just moved away from the "wall of doom".

Ron I think Mark is going to go with your layout.
They want to make the double smaller because they think it killed the sportsman class. The straight is coming back. I'm not a big fan of the straight. It doesn't take alota skill to go in a straight line.
