Mod should the class for determining the best driver, because the driver not only have to deal with all the factors in stock, but also the control of speed and power along with all other elements such as driving lines, jumps etc.. Being able to put down the "optimum" amount of power is perhaps the most challenging thing in off road.

back in the b4 camp. have this together and did some running just to get used to it again. and i'm havin an issue out back. cant get the ride height in the rear anywhere close to where i want it (25mm). still on black springs from kit and havent gotten around to buying some greens. however i dont see that as the answer. car is free (tore down and looked for binds) and presently is weighted to 1500g. the only deviation on this car from my previous car in '07 was the previous owner (who didnt finished building the car) outfitted it with 'b44' arms. i see different part #s but have no reference from the old days to compare it too. could this be the issue thats keepin me from gettin RH in the rear. front is fine, rebuilt rear shocks (yes the correct shafts are on the correct end) already inside top and inside bottom for location. puzzled at this point. is there a difference in this arm that requires a change? runnin outta ideas.

well rebuilt the shocks again. checked total length of both against each other. 1 turn out. now surely equal (mic'd). no limiters in there to start with. back together with losi 25. inner/inner. just doesnt hack it. cant get more than about 22mm height. i know i need greens, but that shouldnt dictate RH. ugh

come up just short b4 i slip off the body threads, if i push it up to full travel it'll stop and settle up near the top. just wont 'recover' to a rest position of 25mm. gonna throw greens on and see what happens. i see u said 3600. if u have a lipo and next to no lead. perhaps i can see that. i'm up at, just over 1500g. i'll keep diggin...

noticed all this motor debate crud, thought a b4 thread would only be littered with a bunch of us old crusty RC vets. i run a 10.5 in mod b/c its what i feel i can handle and we only run mod. who runs stock buggy for anythin other than a 'big' race. honestly. dont think any1 does on this side of ole miss. well anywho, i'm quicker with the 10.5 than i was with mod (brushless that is, brushed was too long ago and we DID run stock-back when you couldnt run mod til you qualified to do so).
pick you poison and just accept there will be people faster than you, equal motor or otherwise.
