I have to know. How could you possibly tell the plain black, round wire in that photo was wet noodle?

Why run out and get a new kit if your so close to having your current .1 as a .2 Mine just needs the big bores and the hex conversion and thats it. If someone is close like I am its worth just keeping it instead going through the hassle of selling it and right now most are just going to just get the .2 anyways

Why? Get quality wire and make it your own.

Maybe he got some wire out of the Stealth Bomber??? Or just wiped it with some acetone.

I don't usually post questions concerning handling issues, but I thought I'd throw this one out to you guys. I bought this car eight years ago as a FT B4. It's pretty much a B4.1 now.

This past weekend I was running a med to high bite track. For the most part, the car handled great. I made a good tire choice and, as long as I stayed in the groove and didn't get too throttle happy, it was pretty planted in the rear.

One thing I noticed is that, as I let off the throttle approcahing a corner, I had to wait a moment before I started my turn. If I made my turn too early, it pushed. In other words, it seemed like I was waiting too long for the rear to fwd weight transfer to occur before I could turn. I'd like to be careful in what changes I make as the car is otherwise handling better than it ever has.

Any ideas or suggestions on this?

Dude, it is a running change. The only way to get the new shock towers for sure is to get them with the 4.2 kit, which has NOT been shipped yet.

The new systems will show up at some bigger tracks and newer well financed tracks, they won't be at the club level for years.

That is NOT correct, based on a couple lengthy threads in the electronics section as well as from my track owner calling Mylaps.

Older AMBrc PT's will still work...MRT, nope.

How is that possible? I thought the MRTs were the "same protocol" as old ambrc. The MRTs are dialed because they work well with all sorts of voltage flux, especially in 1/8 scale electric through a metal chassis, where my AMBs were unreliable. Hrm.

I can't beleive there is this much interest in the brand of wire a certain driver is using. I think I have about 5 different kinds in my parts box and just grab which one is about the right length for what I am trying to do.

Just figured out, this is why I keep losing
