Steve - I think I was just about the only person running a 1 way at the race sunday, everyone had switched to a diff or spool. Last time I tried a spool, I was about 1/2 seconds a lap slower than I am with a 1 way, I never use the brakes (although it was a little hard not using brakes with the mod motor) but I did notice that I had more cornerspeed than everyone in my class, I had no problem catching back up to the pack after a bad start...

I'm working on that as we speak, if you like, here are the specs for it:
*Standard Barracuda R2 kit
*Xenon Stage 2 conversion (with 3mm lower deck chassis, two piece upper deck, and Xenon drive system)
* Alloy shaft holders front and rear
* Aluminum hex hubs.
And it will be offered at a price lower than if you purchase the parts individually.

looks good though. Quck change shock mounts are just a very helpful thing though Although you're probably working to a sensible price limit, which is a good idea

Alex Nevarette that won the Pro Mod sedan class was running a one-way in his barracuda R2. I tried the one-way early on when I got to the track, and it just didn't work (mainly because there was quite a bit of ash and dust on the track) I felt like I need the security of being able to slam on the brakes if necessary, which is why I opt for the spool. As the day went on, especially mid day, the track actually looked really good as far as traction, and it looked promising for the one-way again, but I didn't want to guess on a setup and go out there and have the car all wrong, so I stuck with the spool.

We went out to Fox Sports bar after the races, and one of the guys we were with may have convinced me to try the SD again, but with an aftermarket chassis. I may be ordering the car from you before long, but not 100% sure if I want to go back to it, I'll talk to him later this week and let you know.

Alex was definately fast Sunday, very impressive. I was able to run the 1 way early in the morning even with all of the ash, and it still felt fine to me.

Going back to the Brokomo 
Have you even rebuilt the Cuda yet? Or is that what you used at the Lexus/Toyota race?
I know I was glad I had the Cuda's strength yesterday, half spun the car at one point and got hit kind of fast right on a wheel, would of snapped an a-arm on a lot of cars, and could hear people wince, I was even worried. Cuda just kept on going though

Where do I get spare parts?
How long does it take to replace them?
How much of my monthly budget should I set aside for them?
hehe, gotta have a laugh about it
