No really, my car has 2* toe front and rear, so when I get stuck in a board and put in reverse....the car handles the same going backwards

Car has been a beast here ever since I got it from EJ, haven't lost in a while

Mad props to EJ & OD!

Hey
i was just wondering how well your fan works behind the motor and is it sucking heat away from or blowing cool air towards the motor.

they also look like a very well designed chassis. Will you be selling them in Australia.

Anyone else use the Titanium Racing Stealth CVDs ?

They are incredibly low-weight, and look the business too

Yeah, I've been using EJ's Reedy setup also, and it's pretty damn good. Changing little things for track conditions, and that's it.

I gave up on the Tekin in the 198 software days. I was thinking of putting it back in, since they have the Vegas 200 software now. Seems to be equal to an SPX now. I'll definitely let you know if I find a faster set-up.

I'm very close to EJ's Reedy setup w/324 front springs.

RS settings are:
18 drag
10 neutral
profile 3
cutoff 2
timing boost 25
turbo full
delay .3
17.5 Duo 0* timing on can
FDR 5.0

13.5 FDR is 6.9, same settings.

Most are running these RS settings, give it a try and LMK if you have a faster setup

They weren't ready to deal with the demand for the car. Call Michael at TOP USA, I'm sure he can help you out.

i don't need any at the moment, i bought a decent supply when they were in stock. i'm just hoping i didn't get a car with bad parts availability.

I bought my spares when I first got the car and haven't used any of them yet. Not a bad problem to have.

I've made some big mistakes, and I've been hit pretty hard. Still no broken parts. Last week, I tried to slide my car through an 18 inch opening at full speed......... I missed.

My car moved a 4inx4inx15 ft PVC pipe that was velcroed to the carpet. NO broken parts. I do like to have spares on hand though. Still haven't shaken off my TC3 and early RDX days.
