I assume the Factory Lite was put together mostly for 17.5 racing. I run mod on a hard packed, tent covered, outdoor track. I run a 7.5. Is anyone else running the Lite chassis or this SLRC chassis in mod on a similar track surface? How do you like it? How does it feel vs. the stock chassis?

I also run a 7.5 mod car. I found 3 gear really only works inside on higher grip surfaces. The track needs to be consistent for it to really be noticable. On the right surface 3 gear can give you better corner speed. But it needs to be higher grip. 4 gear works well everywhere and is really needed on an inconsistent or loose track. 4 gear can also work well on high grip. It's just down to preference at that point.

Tent covered? how big is track? pics?

It's a circus type tent we bought from a local events company, 130'x80' I think. It takes about a half dozen guys to put it up and take it down each season. You need a skid-steer as well to put up the main posts in the middle. There are a few tricks to getting it up and down safely, and some muscle power is needed, but it is well worth it!

We are having our big race in late July, it's on rcsignup. We have hosted Lee Martin and Tom Cockerill from the UK in recent years as well as we're lucky to have annual returnees Mike Schoettler, Mikey Brown, Toddie Anderson, Matt Olsen and Keven Hebert, I think I heard that Reno Savoya's coming as well, plus there are usually a few more surprise guests who make the trip up our way. It's all held at a 'club' sized airport for small planes, next to the Canadian Air Museum, all here in Ottawa.

Having raced on your track for several years at the nationals. I always think that it has high grip. The fact that you can run electrons or ions is a good indication of grip. Plus it is moist during the whole event. I can't say if billy keeps the track that moist during your club races but the best would be to try out both the 3 and 4 gear and see which you like best. 3 gear runs flatter with less weight transfer, while the 4 gear has more weight transfer. It also has more grip as they stated in earlier posts.
Having run the durango before I tried both the 3 and 4 gear variants. For myself, I kinda like the less weight transfer better. Some of my team mates hated it though. But, It really depends on how you drive as well. Also you can't twist or scrub or do flight control as easily in the air with 3 gear.

What is the LCG tranny suppose to do?

And has anyone tried the LCG thats on Shapeways?

I got ahold of him on Sunday on FB and just finished installing it an hour ago. For those who really care its about 21 grams lighter than the regular B5M chassis but like everyone has said its different aluminum. From what i googled its a bit softer which is what i assuming makes it work so well. Ill give it a go on Saturday running 13.5 at SDRC.

Oh man. Good to hear. The triple a race weekend will probably be my first trip to sids this year. Look forward to seeing another AE ride out there.

It's for carpet and astro racing. It lowers the cg and can help the car handle better on those surfaces. It's pretty much copying the Yokomo yz2 released for the worlds this year.

I love my SLRC chassis and I have had it about 10 months.

Just looking for some input on why guys are doing this and what I can expect to be different from stock. Oh and right arm on the left side and left arm on the right

I invite you to read through the first page. It will answer most of your questions.

If all your car wants to do is wheelie (with brass front bulkhead) is the only thing you can really do is loosen the slipper until you can barely clear the jumps?

Carpet racing w/ 7.5, or should I just turn epa down?

we really need to know your full setup. Chances are a 7.5 may be too much without some serious finger control or a lot of negative exponential.
