I run mod. The car lost a little forward bite but not much if any. It still pulls wheelies on a track that has medium traction. I put the esc on top of the battery brace about o 1/4 inch off the waterfall. This made the weight in the rear portion of the car near the same yet pulled it all into a more centerline location. It also added a little steering and a more positive feel of the front end.

If you run the track the same way all the time, and have a lot of grip, there is a LOT more wear that is going to sink into those outside bearings. Just get yourself a 10 pack of protek bearings from Amain for both the front and rear, and swap out those left side bearings from time to time, and you'll be good.

Had anyone compared the sweep muzzle body to either the finisher or silencer body. If so, which makes the car easier to drive on low/medium bite type tracks.

would 4x thin ones be from the b44? I think there is a post on that back a ways, can't remember if you posted it or what. I'll go back and check.

Default Stronger suspension arms for racing

Just a quick post. We are developing stronger arms intended for those that push their cars to the limit or just have bad luck breaking them during a race.

Don't want to clutter this thread so post your feedback on this one

Q: I'm getting binding in my front wheel bearings, how can I fix this issue?
A: There was/is an issue with the crush washer that resides between the two front wheel bearings. AE has addressed the issue. *Picture of old vs. new coming soon*.

Seen this on the first page here what's the part number for the new one ?

Ok, I want some opinions.. I just got a package of tires, and I have some 2.2 front scrubs, and some aka red foams, but the kicker is the foams are for a 4wd buggy.. I was able to fit it on, and it looks and feels good, but I'm curious if it will be too firm..

Is there anyone else that has done this? Thoughts?

Sounds like a lot of foam for that tire. If it were me and that was my only option I would trim them down a bit or use open cells.

Anyone running the Pucks with the Avid caged thrust? Do I need to reuse the MIP grooved thrust or can I just drop the Avid thrust in?
