Probably the problem is that they put the top deck split on the front instead of the rear like is done traditionally . I believe if they change this it would be much better. In the meantime I think you should try the front stand off screw in with the proper amount of spacers under the top deck. To stiffen the front.

OVA, unfortunately I'm the guy locally who is known to try everything. With the guys I race with locally I know where I should shake out regardless of what car I drive. I ran the MTC1 on both carpet and pavement and could never get it on pace with the guys I normally would run with. The car never seemed to have the steering I needed and seemed to carry little to no corner speed. I spent at least 3 to 4 months running the car trying different things. Now with the Yokomo, not only was I on pace with the normal guys I run with but I'm actually challenging some of the guys I rarely hang with. This was after only a few weeks with the car. So at the very least I feel the car has a wider setup window. In my opinion I feel the MTC1 has weird flex characteristics. I tried all of the different top decks with the different center braces and could never get the car to have steering and rear traction at the same time. The front caster blacks are too soft...even after the update.

I've done well with my MTC1 so my expectations are high. If I don't get BD9 like performance out of it this month, it'll be heartbreaking. It's so pretty.

Man with all the hype over the new mid motor conversions I broke down and ordered a Medius kit... Now I have to test the alloy chassis, stiff graphite chassis and the mid motor alloy chassis...all before indoor season starts. If anybody has any good CRC black carpet setups using any of these chassis please post..

More or less the setup from nationals adjusted slightly. I'm not sure that one is going to be beaten while it's hot. When it cools down we can drop the rollcenters some.

Could anyone tell me if BD9 could use Xray T4 19 anti roll bar?
Because i feel Yokomo roll bar quality become badly!

This PSM chassis is very impressive.
