I can tell you that "I wish I had more motor" or "I don't think I can last a 10 minute main" have not been heard from me at the track. I just tune the chassis and keep it on the wheels the rest is done.

Race one or Chase one

I have only ever sold for the benefit of these guys not having to deal with your Highway Robbery Chassis Brace. The Basket, and all the other stuff you make, at the end of the day; I could really care less about all those politics. The only thing you sell for a reasonable price, your labor included is the Pinned TopShaft and 'maybe' those sway bars (I have a better idea than most). Your Character and demeanor are of no concern to me, I'm sure you 'are' a good guy. But this is not Sunday Mass.

~I went back down to PRCR again today. I'll be taking Video next time to get some opinions of how I can better this layout, I'm doing pretty well imo, but there was a losi there that was just solid, one mistake and I was boned.

Kody's Setup kinda weird's me out.

Anyone's thoughts? I'm willing to give it a go off my personal one, Although my ride is pretty slick. (video sunday for opinions)

Kody's
Decoupled, with 10k Front diff fluid
The rear Shocks are different than any previous setup (only a notice, not stating that's bad)
Dinky 1.5 front sway
Battery moved forward, But then weight added in the rear.

And the Track is similar to PRCR (turns are a bit larger but only a bit) so I'm interested but reserved.

Wow that place is huge, that looks fun! You are very fortunate to have a track like that to race at.

Honestly the SDRC indoor track looks larger, the Leisure Hours indoor track doesn't look that big.

Of course I've seen bigger outdoor, I just thought for indoor clay that SDRC one was nice.

At the ROAR nats in Union City Kory ran the rear shocks that way. Makes it a little more stable off power. If you want it to rotate more getting in, you can add more rear droop.

The additional front droop is to make it turn center off.

No dig against Kory, but I watched the video, and IMO Ryan's truck was much better. He was gone on the first start, but the RD decided they needed to do it over and Cav got molested (bad) by a guy with a Losi before he got 10 feet off the grid.

You can try from AE directly, when I checked a couple of days ago none of the distributors had them yet. I'd assume you'll have to wait till the new FT truck drops before they get the option parts out.
