You put the shim on top of the wing for 3

For some reason I was thinking the wing needed to stay at the same height. LOL. I'll just keep quiet in my corner now.

Thanks. My setup is all about theory right now. The buggy is already capable of quite a bit more than I'm able to get out of it while still driving clean. I'm working on catching up with it though.

It's a brand new indoor carpet track in Spring Hill, Tennessee. Not sure if it even has a name yet and we have to set it up before each race then tear it down afterwards.

We had almost 20 2WD buggies last Sunday though. The top 5 fast guys averaged 21.3 for their top 10 laps while I was at 25.5 average for my top 10.

But I wasn't testing the limits of my current setup much at all. I believe my B5M will hang with any buggy that was out there and can beat most of them. I just have to work on doing my part.
