I have been using the plastic CVA shocks and been happy with them. My car performs as well or even better than my co racers who use the TRF shocks. However I have noticed that they need reoiling more often than the TRF shocks on my touring car.

thanks.

I checked tower but didnt find them under a Tamiya search.

Try this set up on your mini I run this at socal and with a few minor adjustments from time to time my car is dialed
That's a very good baseline setup- nice of you to share. X-Patterns are a pretty forgiving tire, however, so that setup would change somewhat if using Tamiya tires.

Are you going to the Mini Mayhem race in Milwaukee, Brandon?

When is the Mini Mayhem at trackside? I liked to come and see some ot the racing? Do they have to be Tamiya minis? Is there a class for the old HPI minis or the pan car minis?

Yes I have multiple pictures with her.

Now that you mention it publiclly, How I'm a has been and all It makes me really want to think hard about retirement.

But with that said, I was the 2nd of a possible 6 people to win TCS nats twice in the same class. So I'm pround to be a two timer, weather I'm a washed up has been or not!

I just hope one day we will have the oppritunity to Go head to head wouldn't that be a blast! (even if I was to loose, yeah right)

All in all at the end over everyday it is all about having fun. I know I am, are you?

abailey21 09-20-2007 05:54 PM
