thanks jason and everyone else for your help. when will the new bmi front end be available? and what spares should I order along with the cars. am not sure how durable the flex plates are and if I need to have a bunch of these with the spacers in my box and are there different flex plates for tuning options

Thank you very much guys, I am very interested in getting one of these, Do the crc pro cuts have the right offset for this car? what tires do you guys run? and are they coming with the new bmi front end if not which front end does it come with? are the front lower arms machined to a tight tolerance so the chassey stays level and you dont have to shim it to get it level. sorry for all the questions. I just find it aggravating to have to go through all the measuring,shimming so the ride height will be the same left to right, but that just may come with racing 12 scales. my son and I both will prob. run this car in the fall, cant wait
Testing is going to begin next weekend as the prototype front end is now made and on the car. If all goes well i will go into production at the end of this month and they will be available for carpet season. I will post pics once testing is completed. You guys are going to be pretty happy

With our new front end we are testing, there is no need for shimming for ride height. It is very cool that you now will be able to adjust ride height and droop in the front without removing any screws,nuts or eclips. No sagging springs, Hell,You dont even need to pick the car up.

I don't think that anyone will see pictures of the new front end before it is released... Even if you get down on your knees and beg Jason for it... Just be patient about it. Knowing Jason and what he's capable of with BMI, it will be great!
So just sit tight and wait for it...

Not trying to be cruel. I will have pics as soon as i have it in production form. I dont want to show it until all, if any modifications are made. It is not going to be a strut front end. That style front end works but really is not at the level of an uneven double wishbone suspension. I will have alot more info shortly but rest assured, it is cool and works very well.

Hey, a bit of help needed... Can't seem to get the right electronic set-up for Lipo... I run a LRP SXX speedo and a receiver pack... What roll out should I run in Modified and which motor for a open track? Also what speedo set-up (throttle profile etc.) should I use.
What I find happening is either I have power for 3-4 minutes then nothing, or not enough power for the whole race. After seeing the worlds I can see they getting it right so I need some help...
Thanks all

Of course it is legal, just look at the yokomo car that just won the worlds. It is at the moment illegal by WGT rules but I wouldn't be surprise if that changes.
