OVA,
here is one of my practice sessions from yesterday , the slow laps were me either making a change on the radio and or taking a screw out of the bottom of the chassis
Fastest Lap 8.458
Top 3 Consec 25.499
Averages Avg: 8.891
Top 5: 8.481
Top 10: 8.508
Top 15: 8.530
you can go to live rc look up 180 raceway , i happen to own the track , so i practice on non race days

update,
on black CRC high grip carpet. grip was high for the last weekend on our layout.
i raised the rear suspension mount blocks, ( raised roll center ) this freed up the car letting it wrap around the corner quicker
gained .1 tenth from this change
the 420X against the Xray and Awesomatix cars can compete ,
next trying the bodies now for USGT, there is a wide variance of choices

anyone else in the country running the 420X ? if so where
with a different track configuration on hogh bite black carpet, the 180's now need the roll centers lowered back down.. gonna try offsetting the bottom shock mount point to see if that helps.
currently .1 tenth of a second behind for hot lap from the Awesomtix and Xray guys
