Carbon & Hard = stiffest , good for handling & high grip.
B4 & B44 plastic = more flex , good for lower traction conditions

I got a question on the Reedy Sonic 2 motors timing marks. It came with 20* timing from the factory. Which line would be the 24* timing?

Default rear hubs

I got a dumb question that I should already know but I don't.
What is the difference between a-hub,b-hub,c-hub?
Is it height of the holes or is the camber hole off set more.
Someone tell me please?

a-hub is the same holes as the plastic hubs, b-hub is holes at the same height but in between the a- hub holes. c-hub holes are lowered .060 I think, may be a different amount but they are lower than a or b hubs.

Wild Cherry. I was hoping you could give me some advice. I am running a tapered 3/1.4 piston in the rear and like the pack but it is twitchy. Looking for the same pack in a flat piston, what should I use????

Same pack in a flat would be the flat 3x1.4. It'll slow the rebound down a hair.

well the toe the book should tell you what the steering links should be so ya. If you want more steering shorten the links. If you want less steering lengthen the links (note dont lengthent them past where the tire is 1/16-1/32 difference in length from the front of it (rear of the front tire slightly less than the front of the front tire)). Caster make sure you put them on right, or youll end up with -camber... lol when putting them on just make sure that the hinge pin angle is similar to the chassis, if its significantly less than turn them around, follow the pics in the book. On a super high bite surface less camber=easier to drive. on a normal surface the opposite is true Also with more caster you will have more steering entering corners and less exiting on a normal surface

normal meaning not blue groove clay, or below ( or a track where you can use really small pinned tire such as an ion, or similar.

it will, but probably not with the fan. you will also want to position it so the wires are not on the drivers side. Or the body wont go on.
