I'm pretty sure they're for Astro turf, which many UK tracks are made of. He must be in the UK to have one already.

Looks great, seems as if they're will be enough room for a small rx and small esc (Like the Tekin RS) in front of the 96mm pack! I never liked putting the esc on the motor like Losi recommends because of the heat.

I'm trying to figure out how Europeans get a kit from an American company before Americans do.

LOL They are not "Made in America"

Those are shumacher tires. WE run the mini pins at our carpeted indoor offroad track amazing tires.. would never have thought a tire that hard could work on carpet but it does..

I never said they were made here - just that it's an American company.

Everyone's buggies look fantastic - they look extremely planted on the track!

LPF servo plus 96mm battery.. Shouldn't be a problem getting an average sized ESC in there.

Hey Joel

Are you running mini pins in the front on the track in Ottawa or stagger ribs? I will be running on carpet as well when my 22 comes in and I picked up some yellow minipins for the rear and yellow stagger ribs as this is what I used in Toronto at Fastcats before they closed. No one could get mini pins to work at Fastcats but it was large for an indoor track with many sweeping corners. The track I'm running at now is smaller and more technical so I think minipins will be better with maybe the outer and inner rows of pins removed to maintain some stability. Any suggestions?

3. Dustin definately ran Rear-Motor for Reedy, and ever since.
4. The TLR team will all be running Rear-Motor at Cactus this week, with me being the only exception starting with Mid-Motor.
5. The Mid-Motor car has been very good. It doesn't "feel" as dialed in as the rear-motor setup, but I am still tuning in the setup. With a mid-motor car, even the setup doesn't feel 100% yet, I am still doing faster lap times and qualifiers than with my rear-motor car.
6. Setup wise, I am very similar to rear-motor. The front is the same except I went to 56 piston/25 wt. instead of 55/27.5. The rear I am at 25 (27.5), the shock is inside on the tower (middle), hubs back (middle), and 50g of weight on the rear shock tower (14g behind the ESC). Rear motor is ().

Hit me up with any other questions!
Frank, could you please clarify "The rear I am at 25 (27.5)"..sorry, is that suppose to be 55 piston/27.5 wt.?

I think he means 25 wt for mid motor and 27.5 wt for rear motor. I think the notes in parenthesis are what the rear motor standard set up is.

Frank,

Not quite sure what you mean by 2 pads rear, 3 pads front? How big are the pads? Any pics? I have the batteries already I just want to make sure I'm clear when I start the build.

He's talking about the foam battery spacers you normally use only one of with the larger batteries.
