You'd have to be nuts to buy them at that price
So how many sets have you bought Dave?
EAM- if they're cheap I'm sure lots of us would be interested
really cheap and you may even interest me

If I can get enough orders I can sell them for 90-100 range. But need to see if the interest is there before I chunk the change over

Speedtech...it pushes real bad entering corners...im used to the back end kinda being controlably loose cuz i drive faster that way...im guessing once i get my off centerballs and the different rear hubs and PAL system it should be better im hoping...im loosing it in the corners not on the straightways

R/C Anonymous,
It pushes because it has too much rear toe-in making the car too stable in the rear. The A6113 rear hub will reduce it by 1 degree and the off-set center balls can reduce it by another 1 degree. That should help free up the rear end a bit. Another thing you can try after these adjustment is putting a shim (from the A6511 shim kit) underneath the front rear suspension ball mounts (just a 0.5mm can have a pretty dramatic affect) that should make the front dive even harder into the turns. Give those a try
