I went to one step softer front springs and moved them out one hole on the shock tower. I've tried all the pistons and I prefer 1.7x2 or 1.6x2 in almost all conditions. I'm running the V3 now, so my old car is waiting for a refresh and stock class duty. The V2 is still a great car, if you need any help just holler!

If you're having traction issues with the v2 at your track the v3 more then likely isn't for you. The v3 is aimed for high bite.

It's weird because my b5m sticks to the track like glue. The v2 I can't get the rear grip like I would like to have. I'd rather keep my v2 because of how much steering it has and work on figuring it out.

schirmann, what v2 chassis do you have? There is a black one that has 25deg of kickup and the earlier greyish one (with the hobbypro/pr logo on the bottom) with I believe 17deg of kickup. What shock shafts are you using; the gold long shafts or the shorter silver shafts?

Right now my V2 is stuck to the track and not sure if I want to sell it for the V3 yet... I don't think I can get any faster LOL

Battery won't fit sideways on the V2. It's already sideways on the V3.

I like the V2 layout overall but I see that HobbyPro don't even list this car right now but I was told they will be keep making the V2 and V3 since they do share many parts. I was looking at ordering the V3 from Hobby Pro but they are sold out right now but the V2 was listed but now its not even showing up at their site. Not sure whats going on.
