May have to get some setup stuff from you for up there. My car was good but needed just a little more turn in speed...going to try the rear shock tower conversion.

Still working on a setup, using foams (40 shore all the way around) running a 10X2. I can't get enough turn in with the stock setup. Still trying to get some Yok springs so I can tune a little better....
Fastlane is running Sun. starting @ 11. We were finished around 4.
Track is super cool...Did you see the ad in Xtreme for the big nitro race?

I had a bit of a glitch problem once on the bench, but not on the track, caused by new brushes I think.

Will do Mo, was wondering what elctrics layout everyone was using. Had my reciever on top of my servo.
Also made one other mistake with the car...put MIP CVDs on the rear and still used the stock wheel nuts...lost 3 of them during the day...got home and saw that MIP was nice enough to include lower profile nuts that allow the shacf of the axle to even stick out a bit...problem solved!

Tech Adept
New SD Parts
sosidge,
Or may be SD-1 is a double diff, SD-2 is with One-Way. I wasn't sure which one is which.
Jeff,
I had a problem with glitching but it was mostly a 19T turn motor that we've used for a local club race. I have my recever on top of my servo and no problems.
Just checked a Japanese web site and looks like Team Suzuki is coming out with some aluminum parts for SD, also Square will release a titanium dog bones in June. I am sure we will hear more about this in coming week or so.

This seems to be a normal things with this radio. I beleive there are at least 2 guys here that have the M8/NOVAK combo and are for ever fighting glitch problems... One runs a X-ray... I dont know that its a car problem. More of a novak problem
My beef is why the hell Airtronics and Futaba dont jsut make there own receiver and module. The airplane guys have had these units for years why do the car guys have to pay the higher prices and get less in return?

Tobee and Square stuff
Hi guys,
I just got my shipment of Tobee craft and Square stuff and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The Tobee aluminum drive shaft comes TWO per pack for only about 7 bucks. I ordered 5 packs thinking that they only come one per pack. Now I can do front and rear with lotsa spares. That is pretty cheap if you ask me. I also got the lightened alu main drive shaft. I haven't weighed it yet to find out the difference between it and the stock one. I also got the front and rear alu input shafts. It costs about $8.50. It feels light, but I will confirm when I pull out the stock ones. Next is the Ti axle from Square, it is about $26. I got the fronts since I already broke two of the stock one. The boards keep getting in my way.
Again, the finish is top notch as expected from Square. Durability test will have to wait until this weekend. Well, that's it for goodies right now. I will post pix later.

Finnally bit the bullet and ordered a SD... Thanks Steve for the good phone service.
Now ill be running home from work like a kid at lunch goin home to watch the Flinstones!!
I noticed that this car comes with a stubby front bumper. Looks all pro and stuff but ill always run a full width bumper no matter what car. Xray sold a full width, TC3 used a buds or RPM... What are u guys doing about the bumper? OR do you just changes the broken parts when needed? Im sure RPM wont make one anytime soon so i guess ill get a sheet if kydex for now.

Front body posts get in the way.
I have the front body posts mounted on the inner holes per the instructions and find that access to the upper shock mounting screws is limited. I see that Masami has moved his posts to the outer position and used the bumper hold down from the 'SSG Special'. After I tear up my current body, I think I will try this mod.
Also have you noticed that Masami removed the small graphite center brace under the drive shaft. Anybody try this mod, yet?

removing the lower center brace makes the chassis flex a little more...may increase traction on some tracks...

THeGame... Craig X won Mod and I think Mark U. But the fast guys weren't there racing Mod today. Including myself. hahaaha 
But it looked like he needed to work alittle on the uhh chicane area alittle. But Craigs car was fast.
Mark also raced Stock. He qualified 3rd behind myself and my friend who TQ'd. Actually Mark TQ'd first round. I TQ'd second round. And my friend Jairo TQ'd third round. For the first 2 laps of the main I swapped leads with Jairo until he got too much pressure from me.. hehe...
He hit a corner dot and ended up 6th. And I took the lead til the end. Mark finished 2nd and Jairo worked back up to 3rd. It was a good race.
Well here is a pic of my Racing SD... (not the Brushless). hehe

SEtups:
Could you guys post your CARPET setups for me?
The classes i run now with TC3 are:
-STOCK WITH RUBBER TIRES on ozite
-19T with foam tires on ozite
I would like your suggestions with the YOK SD.
What springs do you guys use? I plan to use my associated sets. Does yokomo rate there spring rates the same as AE?

Also, most setups call for the longer lower shock mounts on the front shocks, but when I have those on the ride height is too high, I am wondering if I am doing something wrong, or if that's just the way they are. I have the short mounts now not threaded on all the way.
