Local hot-finger Justin Poulson threw his new BMI down on the track for it's first PACK...TQ'd Stock, reset TQ and won. After winning Stock bolted his 19-T in and won that class too going away. He's so happy he bought ANOTHER kit...
Look out Minot!
Gotta get mine back on the track for that.

Newbie to this thread
Wow, as someone previously posted, this thread is a very good resource. I am a casual hobbyest and not a hard core, race three times a week, gotta have every go fast goody, tear down my car in between every round, new batteries every week, kinda guy. But, I enjoy having stuff that works when I do get to race. I had been hearing very good reviews on the car from some of my local contacts so I decided to give it a try. Only one weekend outing on the car and I am very impressed with the performance and simplicity of the model.
I recently stumbled on this thread and have a few questions for you Jason.
I assembled the car and found I had to add about 1 1/2 ounces of lead to the right side of the car to get it to balance on the IRS balance buttons. The car has a LRP speedo and Novak brushless motor. Receiver is a Spectrum micro. Would it be better if I swapped out the receiver for a standard weight/size one?
I have zero spares, what spares would you suggest I obtain ie, breakage parts and/or wear items.

What i have found works well is mounting the speedo on the right side of the car. With that mounting, run your PT on the left in the front and run the speedo cap on the same side as the receiver. This helps alot with balance. It is tough to balance cars these days with the heavier weight of brushless but it can be done without adding weight. When i get home today i will post a pic of my brushless layout that balanced out perfect without the use of any added weight.
I am really glad you like the car buddy. We wanted to keep it simple and offer the high performance that we all demand from these little cars. I am a racer myself and a lazy one at that. I dont like wrenching on race day. I like to just drive the car and have fun.

Spurcheck- Recommended spares to have would be:
-an additional set of flex plates
-one set of lower front arms
-two sets of front springs
-a middle pivot assembly
-a bottom pod plate.
Everything else is so bullet proof that you would have to nearly totally demolish the car for anything else to come into play.
If you race on carpet you might want to check out the new cross brace and the front ride height adjusters are sweet. The brace is not essential mind you (unless you race on high bite carpet layouts) but nice to have none the less.
Hey Jason- We need to get you and the Misses to take a "business trip" vacation for a few days up here to the Chicagoland area...there is NO pizza like Chicago Pizza and you could write it off because you would be playing with...opps, I mean "helping" all of us DB12'ers....
