Also, I use 11.5T, what ratio is recomment? I use losi 118t 64p with pinion 48t 64p that is the max limit, I feel the car is not fast enough, I don't have the PRS adaptor it out of stock.........
Well, what do you want the car to do? is it loose? does it push? is there enough on power steering? etc. I am not the one driving the car, so its hard to tell what needs improvement on the car.

Are you positive that you have a 48 tooth in the car? that sounds awefully high for an 11.5. Make sure you don't have a faulty pack or motor. If anything, i'd say that you'd need to gear down!

Well, you can do a variety of things, but i'd start by decreasing front downtravel, and see how that works.

ok, I will try your setting tonight, thx so much!

if I want more steering, is it necessary to add more weight on the front as what the manual said? Front 52%, rear 48%?

Any of you own JXR-S Pro and JXRs Type-R ???

I am wondering if its possible to fit the Type-R A-arms and Shock Towers on the Pro w/o major modification ? (Small dremeling and shaving off i can do)

Basicly i wanna have JXR-S Pro with the front motor but with the New longer suspension travel of the Type-R.

I think it may be too much of a hassle, but i'm not sure. I have a buddy who has an original jrxs and i'll ask him if he can bring it over. The only thing i can see being an issue would be the diff mounts being too wide to allow the hinge pins to come closser to the centerline, but again, i'm not sure. I beleive the shock towers are simular.

Edit, the rear are simular, the fronts are not.

By rear similar,...
Do the mounting points that screw the shock tower down line up correct to the metal part ???
and do the A-Arms fit ???

So the front is completely different ?
Only the rear is similar ?

I am happy with the Weight up front and the weight shift up front.
But that new suspension interests me,

Larcher ran the Corally. Mike had bad luck throughout the whole week. Ron Goetter ran the losi but also had some bad luck.

In 17.5 foam Brian Lutz is sitting in 4th with the car and I am sitting 7th.
In 13.5 foam Dave Johnson is running the car in the 10th spot.
Rubber tire, Lutz is qualified 7th. Larry is in the 10th spot.

Sorry to any I missed simply because I was unaware.

It has become apparent to me at the nats that it is all about the right package and a majority of the top racers all tend to have similar patterns in chassis/motor/battery/speedo choices. Almost everyone is running a DUO based motor. Most common speedo being the tekin RS/RS Pro. The clear best stick is the Thunder power 40C. Chassis' there is a variety, but mainly a sea of corally's.

at 360, the phi is better, my type-r would have held up better and probably been easier to drive, but I knew there wouldn't be enough time to "test" both cars. Joel's car looked awesome this weekend.

Why are you guys so keen to get rid of the "JR link"? have only had the chassis a short while but I have had no lack of pace with it yet. In theroy a long link provides more mid corner bite which on a very resposive chassis is not a bad thing.

I ran the car for awhile with it then dropped it and I feel it is even better. I will probably never go back to it.
