Default Tips

Hi guys, I work a lot of long hours and with that being said I dont have as much time as I need to research rc cars like I did have at one point. Here in Memphis weill start racing this class and I would like to know if anyone out there could give me any quick tips on set up and motor choices...I will be running outside on low traction pavement and I think it will be an open class but I am more interested in smoothness than speed...any thing you guys could help me out with will be much appreciated. PM's welcomed!!!

Thanks in advance!!!
Corey

remember, Callahan said its NOT the HPI body - its the Tamiya TamTech Porsche body so it might be a little different then the HPI version

Good to know!!!

Mine arrived last night.. I bought Speedracers Cup Racer. I changed it to up right shocks and installed Tamiya TRF shocks. Had to space out the front a bit more than manual for clearance.

For time being will be fine until I try the RSR body. Worse case scenario, will have to switch back to HPI shocks.

TRF shocks would fit laying down, problem is the ball end connector.. need one longer!! not sure who makes one that long.
