Did you guys see the price on tower for the FTsc10 4x4....$495!!!!!!
Wow I'm a little shocked! I know I've probably put that much or more into mine now but good grief it just seems like a lot of money right off the bat!

I wouldn't think so but I'm still shocked! I don't think it was $495 on towers site to begin with...I think they upped the price for whatever reason...when they don't get the orders or pre-orders their looking for then the price will come down.

Ok, here’s version 2 of my centerline stick pack config. AE battery cups I was using are now gone, battery sits directly on the center chassis, held in position with 4 standoffs I made out of the original battery locator plastic. Handmade fiberglass brace, attaches to the front with m3 post screwed into the original battery strap hold down lever locations(There is one on each side). Battery can be run all the way forward, middle or back.
Attaches to the back hole of the rear upper brace where it used to attach to the center chassis section.
Actually works pretty well and seems to be stiff enough that I don’t need the rod brace, at least I raced it last weekend with no issues.
Pretty happy with the handling, truck seems overall more stable, consistent and balanced. Thinking I may make one out of carbon fiber but not sure yet. We’ll see how durable this is.

I'd rather go bowling there. Indy is my least favorite track in Texas. weird, site lines, funny old nitro soaked dirt, poorly managed...but there's a great taqueria right next door and a day labor bus stop across the street for your amusement!
Have fun Jeff!

Last week tower has it for 359 I believe. Do not know what went wrong. Stormer has it for 350. Sometimes you catch them screwing up prices the other way for a huge discount to you. Quess they haven't fiquered out that good employees are worth the extra money. Pay 8 bucks an hour, get 8 bucks an hour.

Go to 7k front and back. Everything at PRCR is down side and turn. We are entering almost every corner with the front suspension collapsed. Also the 1.5 bar in the front helps. Also try 1-2mm of washers under the rear ball stud. The lighter dif fluid will help a lot with the steering.

Thanks Marcus. When you say open screw do you take them out or just loosen them up a bit. Any suggestions on oils. Running the exotica , tablet won't let me spell it right, on med outdoor with pretty good size jumps. Average laps are 36 seconds. Thanks for the help.
