Kev1966 will a body reamer tap the mounting holes in the plastic wing? That is something I've never had to do. I was curious as to what you did with your wing.

Yes, a body reamer will work fine, that's what I use for mine all the time. Just make sure as you ream the hole to check fitting, so not too big of a hole to cause the wing to be loose or wiggle once mounted.
I'll make a few turns with the reamer and then check on the wing mount bosses for fitting.

Perfectly safe mate. It is owned by Mark Rumble, well known racer in the south of England (you will find him pitting with the Nemo UK team) and a really good guy, and is based at ARC Raceway in Essex. Buy with confidence.

Thank you very much. Just the answer I was looking for

This past weekend racing I tried out the Under Gear drive for the rear and really seemed to work well. It helped square up the rear to get on power quicker in the corners and exiting corners, also with the track being dry and dusty its didn't want to step out either.

The track was a little rough in secitons, hard packed and dry so I also changed out the pistons to use the 6x1.5 and the A215E felt really good and planted after those couple changes. As I get more time tuning and racing this buggy its so fun to drive and push, watching it soak up the rough sections. NemoNation....

I've heard about the green slime before.
I'd like to offer some advice if I may. Green slime is awesome, works wonders on your shocks. And it's not like it's expensive... buuuut what I did a while back on a recent trip to the dirtbike shop was pick up a jar of fork seal lube. I got Pro-Action's fork seal lube, it's been fantastic and the jar will last me for as long as I need for my RC's. Bonus? It's green!

Are most of the tracks out there going with the kit recommended "long" rear chassis braces?

Most drivers are using the "Short" chassis brace for outdoors

That is what I suspected. Put it on because that's the first 1 I came across. It's anyone's guess which one offers less flex though. In a similar setup to the outdoor conditions where I'll be tracking Darren softened the front and rear sway bars from kit setting. Have any of you all increased or decreased sway stiffness from the 2.3 and 2.5 mm.?

Yea, I'm using smaller swaybar in front and also have 2.3 and 2.4 for the rear. So far like the 2.4 for rest the most

Ok cool got them out the way but wait the rear of the esc pad is over hanging the chassis I'm not positive it will protrude the body on the left side because I haven't cut the stock body out yet.

If your not using the rear ESC pad you can take a dremel to it and sand/cut it down, or you can cut the body around the ESC pad.

On mine I cut/trimmed the body around the what little overhang there was from the ESC pad.

Alright champ I would like to to take a heated header to the left side of that body and "deform" it. Who knows I'll take a look once I receive my body back.
