Josh-n-ya -- PM me (for some reason I cant get to the PM button on my new laptop).
Besercoe - thanks for adding the info, yes we were told it was really positive feedback from one of the world's best - who was driven everything. And the parts quality is really, really good.
Thanks for all the feedback - its interesting to see comments like "more marketing, advertising" and also "don't read magazine's" - that's what makes being the "new" guy so hard -- how to get the word out. You can spend money on marketing and advertising -- but who sees it? Just have to keep working at it!!!
skypilot - I will ask to see if I can get a spring chart converted to pounds.

according to the spring chart I saw when you do the conversion it comes out to this.
red spring: .36 kfg/mm = 20.1 lbs/in
white spring: .33 kfg/mm= 18.4 lbs/in
yellow spring: .30 kfg/mm=16.7 lbs/in
green spring: .28 kfg/mm= 15.6 lbs/in
blue spring: .26 kfg/mm=14.5 lbs/in
to convert kfg/mm to lbs/in divide by .0179
red spring: .36 kfg/mm = 20.1 lbs/in

Curious why you guys think we are not getting more "traction" with ARC here in the US?
- People its not proven == been driving by probably the best r/c driver on the planet and given thumbs up on performance
- Reliable == some people are buying the parts to put on more popular cars for improvements
- Hard to get parts == National distribution available to all hobby shops, biggest on line retailer in the country and direct order available from Viper R/C
- Support == dedicated social media with set ups, advice and information, live customer support, forum support
- Team drivers == we just did a team driver search, open to adding more (PM me if you want more information)
Options open......

I got a good day of practice and a race day today. The carpet track is what I would consider medium/medium low grip. We run Sweep 28 Real Green or 32 True Blue tires as a choice for spec tires. I qualified 2nd in mod touring and finished 2nd. I kept tuning the car to the track, and sometimes going the wrong way, but that is how you learn what works and what doesn't. It was nice to run touring again after a long break from on road. I need to find a consistent .1-.2 secondsto be more competitive with the local top driver. Driver probably needs improving instead....
I had a lot of guys come look at my car, and asking "What is it?" Lots of interest in the car.

Last week in our Toys for Tot race I TQ in sportsman mod and got first. I almost got first in VTA but got second! First time running both classes. Tied for fourth in second day running mod today. I was told at last race to go to regular mod class! Lol! I TQ and first place in VTA with second ARC! Hara's mod setup for asphalt posted in the ARC facebook page is amazing to start with. I changed a droop setting that's it. VTA setup is mine!

I started off with a set up posted on the FB page for carpet, which didn't work well with the lower grip at my track. Getting the droop set right for the lower grip (adding some) and running a softer spring helped. Funny how at the end I was very much close to the kit setting on most things. Go figure....
Not a gripe, but I didn't really like the droop screws on the car. They use a small wrench and are tight, even when I used lube to help them move easier. I was kinda worried I was going to break off my wrench in them! Haha I ended up drilling the holes out to use larger droop screws that take a 2mm wrench.

On new arms I put a drop of oil on the arm and the droop screws. I run the screw through a couple of times then its all good. I did that with whatever car I had. Wish I had a carpet track to work on some setups for that but no luck here. I would also be running some 12th scale too.

Shock springs with 2013 kit
Which big bore springs are included with the new kit? Someone told me the car comes with a full set of springs, didn't think that was correct.
Thanks.
Thanks.
