Thought I'd share a pic of mine, finished it a while ago but have had no time to drive it yet, been sitting on my shelf since this pic was taken.

Anybody ever try more than 3° anti squat? What about raising the inner ball studs?

I feel the same way, but can't get over how smooth the Dex feels. Is there any reason not to run 22 springs on the 'rango, I have a ton of them.

On another note. Had a fun day at Stateline Raceway in Fremont, IN for THE SERIES race #5. Ran 2wd mod...no practice for anyone as track was recovering from rain. Anyways had decent runs all day...just missing BQ. Had a lead with about 1:30 left in the B when I had a rough landing on this huge double (pic below), tumble rolled for like 8ft after and landed on my wheels facing a tube. Anyways finished 2nd and missed bump by 4 sec.

Buggy was really good all day. Showed up this morn w/RM3 as I knew temps were staying under 70f and traction would be good. Only change from my base setup was, softer front spring, and rear hubs all the way back....no broken parts.
Pic of double....so big you can park a vehicle between the 2 jumps.


Other pics of the track. Track is 1/8 size, rough, rutted.

Buggy is built like a tank. Just keep the usual....towers, arms, hubs. I feel like a walking hobby shop with all the NIP I have that never get touched, I race at some of the toughest tracks....as seen in the pics above. Lol

I would recommend the alum steering plate as that should be upgraded.
