Just a reminder for you guys out there. Please loctite the screw that goes into the outdrive of the diff. I didn't......Doh! Well it was fine for about 3 to 4 weeks of heavy racing. Then it backed out and I didn't realize it till I put the car down for the A-main! Definitely a Rookie mistake!!

At this rate we are going to have a billion option parts and not enough cars to go around!

Bad thing will be is that once some get their cars, they (the impressionable ones) will want to throw all those on their car, without ever having driven the "standard" car...

And with Europe being in lockdown, parts like the shock bodies won’t have been track tested.

The only parts I have found you really need so far is replacement set screws as the first batch ones are super brittle, some option springs and for carpet the rcmaker 1.6mm split top decks do seem a lot better. Beyond that I would advise anyone to leave the car alone and tune it a bit, before going hog wild with options

I still have an hard time understanding the effect of different caster angles on rear suspension, to me it doesn't seem like having a significant effect on handling. Any thoughts?

Uhm, so il like adding or removing shims in front of rear arms on traditional suspensions, makes sense.

Less caster on the rear would mean longer wheelbase then
