Had a chance to get some track time last night and test out the flex decks. track record as of last week was 27.7 and i managed to run a best time of 27.6 with kit setup except for proto 2 stage pistons and the flex deck. So on med grip the car has potential for sure!
The decks worked for sure but i think the front had a bit too much flex , i will make a few more to test this week. Pistons were really good, started off with 350r/450f which is a bit light but ran ok. Had some issues with the rear not settling down on exit and just feeling a bit unstable in general but i think changing the dif fluids will help as well as lowering the rear roll center to unlock the rear on entry. I am thinking 8/75/5 and going up to 400/500 on shock oils! here is a quick vid after the races last night, camera angle sucked sorry about that!

today was the second raceday with my buggy. Talk about Battle tested.! I was the only buggy and I raced in a heat with nine other 4wd short course. and we all know how they drive. I broke NOTHING. finished every race.
i qualed 5 out of 10 and finished 6th. The buggy is still a ways from where i would called dialed(slowly getting there). That will come. But i love this buggy.
on a related note. i TQed and took 2nd in the 2wd bucket class(9 cars with my dest210)

Not sure why you need, TI turnbuckles, no real need unless you have money to spend... LOL or plan to change out to use different ball cups. Stock ones are just fine. Last week I cart wheeled mine 4 times into a wall, marshall put on track and kept driving, was only crash I had and I even cringed at first... LOL

I am running 7k front, 100k center 3k rear in my diffs, high bite smooth wet dirt indoors. Super soft tires shaved to slicks with closed cell foam inserts. Having trouble diffing out coming onto straight after sweeper. Was thinking about going to 300k in center and 10k rear. Would like to leave front alone, car has good steering, but not putting the power down. 5.5t Tekin Gen2 motor. I know my info is all over the place but wanted to make sure I covered the vitals...
