OK question for RobK. What is the official ROAR width, weight and if an issue wheelbase on F1? I check ROAR site and it was dated 2013 and width for F1 was @8.24 inches which is well over 200mm. While at 2012 Carpet Nats it was 180mm. I plan on being at 2017 Paved Nats but dont know if I want to go 180, 185 or 190mm
Was very twichy last weekend allthough it seemed dialed when I tested some dass before ... Don't know what to do - maybe will try with new tires.
If you feel too much punch out of corners maybe lowering FDR might also help. I'm running 2.1 on asphalt.

Hey everyone, I just got an F2012 body painted and now I need to start doing the decals for it.
This is my first time trying decals on any body and I was wondering if you guys have any tips on how to apply them easiest? Especially when dealing with the tiny ones.
Best wishes!

This is info from a PRO, Im not the Pro, but this is what he told me. Well its not an actual quote but still this is the trick. Get a spray bottle like windex or some kind of spray bottle. EMPTY it and clean it out. Put some dish soap in bottle, don't be stingy either, when you think you have put enough in it, put more, then fill rest of bottle with water. Shake it up really good. When time to put decals on, liberally spray area on body the decals are going. you can move em around and get them perfect. wipe off excess soapy water, or if you still have decals to put in area spray more. If you cant easily move decals away spray more. More is better until you are done with that area. Once I finally came to my senses and realized that all my decal jobs sucked I finally asked. Now most of my decals don't suck.
Thanks for sharing the info This is why I asked before I attempted anything lol.
