I'll post my setup later today. It is a little softer then Josh's, but I drove Josh's car after the race it was pretty dialed.

jag88 - Yeah, I'm pretty sure everyone at the race did to some extent.
over gear - What EJ said..lol... The rear hub has a "loop" that hangs below the rear arm to support the hub and that's what I measured the droop from. I think if it was measured from the bottom of the hub/arm in a more conventional manner it would have been around 5mm.
BlackedOut - The ratio is 2.0 - 40 diff pulley/20 drive pulley.

This is a great car, beautiful, elegance, lots of settings to adjust the car, toe, camber,.... u can fine tune your car in many ways to improve and match the car to your skill and preferences.
by mid of June, it is available in Asia.
I particularly like the way the servo is positioned, it is side way with little linkages that prevent lose steering, great job TOP Racing.
the rear side toe in can be adjusted as well.
One question: how to make the rear side suspension softer ?

*Chomp* *Chomp* OK, cookies done. Thanks Rick.
I'm sorry to say I don't know the screen name of everyone on the waiting list. If you are on the Photon waiting list (or think you are) at TOP USA and you have not been contacted to send in your pre-order payment then get ahold of us asap. We are still calling folks on the list but you can insure that you are covered by calling or emailing. This is for people on the TOP USA waiting list, not for pre-orders at your local hobby shop

Just make sure you tie it up right and let his wings flap.. I can't wait any longer. Please make sure he comes right home..

I'm loving the design philosophy behind this car, and am looking for one as soon as I save up the rent!
There's just one thing, and it's a small one, but on the hubs, it looks like there's no shim between the two bearings (internal to the hub). In my experience this can lead to too much pre-load on the bearings when you tighten a wheel and then troubles like high friction, damaged bearings and damaged hub plastics.
Is the missing shim just missing from the manual? Is it missing from the design? I'll probably be able to fit one, it's just a hassle....
Does anyone know the weight of the car as a roller? Our weight limit is coming down to 1425g with Li-Po- so is it going to balance OK at that?
Thanks, Chris.
