Since changing to the T4 I've improved my track records at every track I've been to and this year managed to win my Clubs championship TQ'ing every round.
It's easily been the best car I've owned and I'm sure, when outside next year (weather is bound to ruin almost any chance before then) it will be great.
I just need to sort this lower grip carpet 'issue' and it will be fine.

P.S. Never really had any issue with the rear of the T4, are you sure you're not using too much steering lock etc and making it 'hook'

I think i raced you in the B final at Bedworth this year. Were you car 2 on the grid? If so I was Car 3.

This isn't my idea, so I take no credit for it. But here's what's working fantastically well for me on the '14.
Use the ramp weight in the middle of the chassis, it spaces the battery out slightly more than the plastic nuts and gives a bit more clearance for the motor. Then, put the pinion on backwards. You can do this now that the motor screws are inset and don't interfere. Then, you can gain perfect access to the pinion grub screw through the cutout in the bottom of the chassis for the spur gear, not the hole they provide for the pinion screw. Also, I run my spur gear offset toward the motor side, which is different than the manual.

What class are you going to run yours in? I can give you the setup I ran on Saturday, so you know what not to do. :P
Question for everyone: has anyone noticed that two of their shock bodies have an ever so slightly thicker (or thinner, depending on how you look at it) shoulder at the bottom of the cap threads? Both my '13 and '14 had two shocks with a slightly thicker shoulder.

They fit perfect and are much better.

John, I think it might be the screws. I thought I stripped a hex, but when I found some old m2x5 screws in my box of random stuff, they tightened up just fine. Your car and my car were from the same batch. I guess Kody didn't pass on the message to be careful with the hexes.

I use Paul's setups almost always, never let me down. If I want to drive maniac aggressively, then Hagbergs usually does the trick.
