Greg,

I think it is all good. The 60d's and Lipos will be lots better on that big open track.

Are you old enough to even have a car? Some of the guys involved in this discussion are certainly old enough to be your father, if not your grandfather. I'm not saying who falls into which category.

I am old enough, I have M03R, Mi3 (as of last night), CF TA05, RC10T4 and I share an Emaxx with my dad

Then he has the same stuff

I didt like 'em when i was running on a low grip, bumpy and fast track

They seemed to give less steering, the front end lost a bit of grip and trcation rolling incresed

So i am one of those guys who swear at them

SWAYBARS

I have one car MO3L fitted with swaybars and a MO3M without. I think the car fitted without the swaybars handles slightly better than the car with them.

The biggest problem with the swaybars is they tweak easily. I have noticed the thicker swaybar is easily bent. This is both when fitted to the front and rear.

I will be trying my car without them.

My two bob's worth.

Later

Calvin.
