I wish they would get rid of that non-diff side hub and use one like the Irrgang hub. What good does a 2 or 3 bolt hub do on the non-diff side if the diff side one is 3 bolt only? Nothing!

I have the Razor II, and there is definately room for improvement. The Razor II does not have enough carbon fiber on the left side of the chassis for electronics. You can fit batteries only. They could make a mount for the personal transponder like they did in the Gen-X. They could make the 4 hole X pod if they want, and use their new front end (as long as it has all of the castor and camber gain options.)

Don't do it Tony! Those 1/12's are addictive.

Im new to 1/12 scale so this maybe a dumb question. Just built my Gen X and the only way I can get my 4200 in the car is by popping of the shock.Oh I have my battery forward. Is this how everyone puts their batteries in their CRC.

Any have a good rollout for 4300 brushless. Track size is 72x48.

Thanks, Greg

It's normal. One thing to avoid this is to use longer cable for batteries

See MArk Payne's web page for a neat trick using Xray shock ends to make removing the shock much easier.

I got to run mine today. It seems that with the front end being nice and tight and able to take the slop out of it very easy when it wears in the car tracked straight every time I hit the track. Fast lap was .1 faster than the 3.2R. Car also seemed more consistent to drive. Batteries will NOT come out of this car either on hard impacts!!

One thing you will want to order is the different ride height shims for the new front end as the smallest tires you can run and make 3mm ride height in stock form is 1.66-1.67.

Overall I am very satisfied with the car

Is there a part number for the lower front end shims? I see silver and blue ones on the site, but they look to be the same height.

Also, to anyone running the transponder in the upsidedown position, have you had problems with missed laps? I missed laps in every run today... until the main when I just servo taped the transponder rightside up to the front of the chassis. Then it was fine. I've never had a counting problem before.

Thanks.
