i have to say i dont get to race with Top team driver Mark Unrath very often. Today in our main we had a great battle. He was cool and calm as hell. I though i could get him to crack but he wouldnt give me an inch. Great driving man i look forward to racing with you again.
Jerry - Thanks man!! It was a great race and boy did you put the pressure on!!!! Special thanks to the entire TOP team for the support, good times and great racing. Jerry I can't wait to race with you again!

OD - You rock as always. Thanks for all of the support, quick turn around on all orders and the best customer service!

Mark

Great weekend of racing at the nats. Major props to Arvin Nano for the setup advice. The car was very smooth to drive. Thanks to all the local TOP drivers for the help and good times. Congrats to EJ for the mod victory. The new narrow chassis is awesome.

if this race was either 5 min long -- or 6m 30s I think the end results could of been different. you wouldn't believe how good my Photon was this past weekend. my favorite part of the video was the pass i put on cuffs after the peel + stop-n-go...

+ YouTube Video

its the horsham setup i mentioned a week or so ago w/ now three changes:
1- 367 front springs
2- yokomo rear gear diff w/ 15wt losi shock oil
3- an extra 0.5mm of front droop --- it is what helped my sweeper game so i can drive it in hard on Cuffs

i'll make an actual setup sheet next week when i get back from vacation...

If anyone runs VTA with their Photon, I swapped cars for the main because the car I had been running was getting slower with more traction, I run the same setup that Hanulec runs, I just threw on my tires, body, 21.5 and didn't even change the ride height and the car was really good.

Hello Edú and Luppi Stefano

Yes i run with 0 toe in in the rear , my chassi plate is the lipo moderate with some changes (home made)
I still can not disclose my changes in the chassi but the chassi is similar to the chassi of the EJ Evans.

the changes i have noticed with 0 toe in is more top speed and more corner speed this give me a great advantage.

the tracks in my country have some dirty only in the finals the track is clean and with some grip only in the trajectories.

one of my driving style is run with little steering this help alot and steering negative exponencial on the radio.

Best Regards:
Pedro Silva
