The difference between 25 & 30 degree kick up on the chassis is the static feel of the shocks based on 30 degrees at the wheel, obviously if you are 25 at the wheel then you have more low speed steering, hope this helps.

Can I just have my box and car now, and you send me a new side sticker later? I promise I'll put it on the box.

Or just use a sharpie and write in an "M". I don't mind.

Yeah, shawnee, kcrc. Tuesdays are pretty fun. The club says the track getting redone today so Friday practice should be great. I have been clearing the same cobwebs and just need to build some confidence in modified. That's why it was so nice to see what my buggy can really do in the hands of a really good driver. Mental picture for what to strive for and Wayne's setup is perfect cause I know it's driving adjustments that need done from here, not tuning.

Great set up, Wayne. Should be posted on the front page for sure. At the least as a much better starting setup, but I think its pretty much the end all setup with only some really advanced tuners making subtle possible changes. I wont be changing a thing. Thank you.
Awesome. Glad it helped you. The biggest part of it is the damper setup--the softer black front/green rear spring lets you lighten the damping and pack to handle the bumps in our local tracks without being under damped. The "team" setups are just too stiff for our local tracks, especially KCRC, and bounce around a lot. If you go down in oil or piston, then they're twitchy if the track is watered because they're under damped for the springs. The team setups would be better at smactrac or any clay surface where the surface stays smooth and together. Our local tracks are packed topsoil, and they tend to get bumpy.

I don't think it's the end all setup though. If I were on a higher bite smoother track, I would be going up in spring and piston/oil as well because the car, while it would drive fine, could be a lot more competitive in the corners at that point since the surface would allow it.

Anxious to see how you like the new car Jake. Another couple of months and the wife will be removing my leash and letting me race again . Can't complain at all. I'm lucky enough to be laid off for the moment and have been staying home with my little guys. Oh, we're selling our house and looking for a bigger one so I guess you could say the Dork has been quite busy. See you soon bud.

Outside of the issues with the packaging it looks to be a little early for product release. The manual is not even loaded to the AE site yet. In addition the chassis has not been released/finalized (just assuming as there is no picture of the chassis available yet)

These may have just been things that were overlooked but do seen to be pretty important

To Tradin Paint

They don't release the chassis until the kit is released. At least they are better then before and release parts so they can be stocked before the people start breaking their kit car.

I just wish they would give a couple kits to the company's that produce nice body's before the kit comes out would be nice.
