Should have mine Thursday.
Will try the nitro setup.
Maybe the rear shocks a little stiffer and the center diff a little up.

Can't wait... :-) maybe some laps Saturday if it doesn't snow...

Finally got my kit and finally home from work trip to open and check out.
First impression very nice and looks very stout. I'm looking forward to start the build tonight.

Still debating about what diff oils to start with, between 7-7-5 and 10-3-5

Our outdoor season might start up in Mid April pending weather so that will be nice, but usually the first few weeks the track can be rough from the winter weather and thawing.

Did about 3 hours of testing today and this buggy just keeps getting better. I can drive it harder than my previous buggy and even feel faster. I am running 20/3/5 with 45/40 in the shocks and this thing rips. I made a great choice in changing buggies. Getting better on power out of the corners than ever. Anyone just starting your build be patient and take your time. Its a great car.

I still have a couple weeks of indoor left and we run on med to high bite, depending on how it watered.

Hopefully by mid April will be running outdoors.
