It is definitely not magic....
The longer chassis is more stable.

Ok so iPhones speach to text isn't perfect. Point is if you are bringing that much stuff your focus really isn't on perfecting your driving. It's more along the lines of what will I break today.

yup it rotates so quick, if you have traction and can hold on its a good bet, 3.0 is all around good though.

Yeah it is fairly close. I always ran a 3 degree toe block, I tried the 2.5 when I had the .5 hubs but went back to the 3 block with 0 hubs pretty quickly. CV doesn't have enough bite to warrant the 2.5 block.

Well if someone has that many tots, maybe they'll share. As long as there's some ketchup too.

/and if they don't share, you can kick them in the pocket

I still keep everything in the box. Hoopty? Yes. Easy to carry around? Yes. The 80 spare tires rest in a garbage bag in my trunk.

On another note, holy crap those AE oil bottles are weak. The top sheared off while tightening them down. Now I just have to keep the oil in a plastic bag like Fry.

that tote carries everything, including the car. it's great, especially if you are carpooling with others and their gigantic tubs, it leaves for plenty of room in the trunk.

I doubt that most other folks do this, but I have to say, I really like how my car handles with the rear sway bar attached. Car feels much more planted, though, of course, it is pretty sensitive to steering inputs. I kind of like it that way. Makes me have to drive better.

hideeho
hit that one on the head!
but, breaking stuff is a fact of life in this hobby . the way it usually goes for me is I will go a week or 2 without breaking anything, then break several things the same day. for example a few weeks ago I BROKE (not popped off, but actually broke in 1/2 on various corners) 5 AE ball cups. switched to RPM & 2 practice days & 1 race day no problems. friday night (practice before the race) I broke 2 a-arms, a shock end, & a servo (took me out for the weekend).

Ok so on my hub the inner bearing blew up, well they both did on the same side, and the outer one came out fine but on the inner only the outside layer remains in the hub. I've tried to use flathead wrenches, all sizes to no avail. What are some techniques that you guys use when this happens to you?

I know a guy who just uses a rolling suitcase. Seems to work great, it all fits.
Although he does drive a pink b4.1.

Maybe grese it up? Or get it hot so the metal expands a little, maybe it will loosen

Do you know if you can get replacement drawers? I would like to have a drawer for each cars spare parts so I could grab the car and the coresponding drawers load my bag and head to the track.

Yea looks nice... only costs an arm and a leg just to carry your toys. wish I had one. And body got A link to a cheaper hard case style tote maybe? With wheels. That's not the size of a deep freezer. Haha

not sure, but that's not a bad idea. i have a spare parts tray for each car and i just grab the tray and car and im good to go, i've never felt the need to swap drawers out. the only time i did a major swap out was when i emptied out a drawer full of 10th scale tires and replaced it with fuel filters, fuel bottle, etc. for nitro.

i started off with the duratrax hauler. it was cheaper, but was super heavy and HUGE. plus it was not as durable as the wingtote. i think the zipper broke on it in within a month and the outside was wearing through. the wingtote is still good as new after 8 months.
