What motor did he run? I don't see one in his car. I'm assuming it was the hacker, but with it gone. It raises the question.

Kyle was running the Raceberry chassis. He had the only car in 13.5 that could enter the key hole, lift the throttle slightly then full rip thru the key hole shooting to the kink. He had his car dialed in and on another level. I ran just a standard L car with setup close to his and was happy to keep him from lapping me in the mains.
Awesome job Kyle!

I ran the same setup with slight changes as i posted for the Speedtech Race. I will post a updated setup sheet shortly.
Of course, NOTHING but my Hacker motors and ESC's.
Larry, Yes vegas i will be there. Also planning on asphalt nats, we will see. Hope to race with you soon.
We are all on a roll with the car. Keep it up!

Please note - all back orders/orders will ship today.
honestly it all depends upon the amount of grip -- and the class you are running.
stock- you'll prefer a stiffer chassis to remove corner stalls/remove grip
mod- you'll prefer a softer chassis just to gain grip
i think the L carbon chassis is great for most conditions. aluminum is best in high grip (IIC, Snowbirds, etc). a thin chassis, like the raceberry, is probably best suited for low grip asphalt.

Question for low to med. grip: Are the AT21S pivot balls a real must have?
I see them on almost every setup-sheet. But they are a bit pricey.
Thx!

That being said if I knew there was a setup that worked and wanted to put on my car, it would be wise to get them so you can copy exactly.
