Kurt has not started producing his own products for market yet, he just left AVID. When he begins to sell stuff you will definitely hear about it.

im not entirely sure but im fairly certian your new... haha first thing is first. make sure you steering links are the same, after that make sure your servo horn is where its suppose to b e(with full epa and no sub trim(if your using regular trim gtfo)) next back you steering off until they dont hit the hubs on either side( via epa) ... after that adjust the small link until your epa is off by 5 or less. make sure it drives a straight line if not adjust sub trim to go striaight. Now go turn some circles visually measure them to be about 3 in of less apart. if not adjust epa accordingly (make sure it doesnt hit the hub).
I'm fairly sure that I build something wrong, but just wanted to check if this was normal and just needed to set epa at full droop instead.

though not always my favorite person, Wild Cherry has probably turned more laps on high bite indoor tracks than anyone here combined. when it comes to AE setups, i would listen to him. he may not be the fastest at his track but when your running with Brown, Bridgewater, Walentia, the Smiths, Matesa, and more sponsored guys, he has more factory sponsored guys to get tips from than any of us.
i just got a used car from one of georges locals with this exact setup on it. havent raced 2w buggy in 3 years, after one practice session in a brand new car i qualified mid B main in a 33 car field. this setup works for stock or mod.
give Cherry a break, he may be a ass sometimes but when it comes to setups he knows what hes talking about. 10's of thousands of laps......

I'd love to have an RC Tech Clash to get others around here to put up or shut up.

You mean Kurt Wenger. I've not seen or heard anything official or a public release of any sort giving specifics, but if you read a few pages back he is said to be starting his very own company and will be releasing a multitude of upgrades, most notable being a Narrow Chassis upgrade for the B4 as well as a few other tidbits initially. Hopefully he works his way up to putting out his very own kit.
I was personally waiting for Avid to release their own car, which is still not out of the question being as they very well may have something already in the works that Kurt designed. However, given Kurt's track record, while it may be good, not having him there to further refine and develop such a design is a bit discouraging. Guess time will tell.

It's got nothing to do with me, it's all about you George, and your claims of being a contracted driver for AE. Which is what you would need to be to use the terms "teammate" and "our team" the way you do.
The question is simple. George are you a sponsored Team Associated driver?
If yes, post away.
If no, then you're using the term teammate so you yourself can get undeserved attention and credibility.
It's a simple yes or no question. Man up and answer it or stop making BS claims.

Actually, Newey is a great engineer who is extremely clever and also has a keen eye for design, but setup is a whole other story and to get the setup right is a collaboration between the drivers and the army of race engineers. As well, RC and F1 are vastly different in too many ways to make a valid comparison. Perhaps one day when full scale cars can go 400-500 MPH and smack into walls and keep right on going and drivers can such impacts at those insane speeds, perhaps then we'd have a valid basis for comparison between the 2.
And of course, I know you weren't being literal. Just offering up info for anyone believing it whole heartedly.

See, it's that same logic that WC tries to cram down our throats and I for one just don't buy it at all. 10's of thousands of laps, half dozen sponsored drivers to pool from, and supposedly he builds, sets up, and tunes these sponsored drivers cars....and yet he's STILL routinely a full second off their lap times (on a 15 second track, that you've ran 10's of thousands of laps on....that's HUGE)
I just can't accept advice from someone with a resume like that. That's all I'm saying, and have said for a long time now. Sounds to me like he's a rockstar by association, and not because he himself is a rockstar. just my .02

George, I appreciate your knowledge sharing. The effort you put into this is much appreciated. The only thing I would suggest is working on your delivery a bit.
Three pages of bickering and about 4 useful posts....unsubscribing.
