Every time I put this thing down on the track I can't stop grinning from ear to ear . So much fun to drive. Have had some pretty gnarly crashes with mine and so far the only thing I broke was the left hub. That just from tightening it down on the axle. Just split right down the side of the hub. State race this weekend hope the new one gets here before then.

Having gone from running Xray for the previous 2 seasons, I'm excited to show the rest of the country what these cars are capable of! Cheers,

Is the center pivot an upgrade or having an extra a recommendation? I haven't broken one.
Also, where can I get the new style rear wing holder?
Just locked down a 2nd overall at the recent UF1 series race on black carpet at TQ RC Raceway.
Pretty much setup as per Hanulec, some front tire gluing trickery as conditions dictate. Cold rainy or hot muggy

Looking at getting a car and it’s down to this and the Xray. I like that I can get this with the aluminum chassis but if I’m only going to have one for carpet and asphalt, which will be easier to adapt? In other words will aluminum only work on carpet? Seems like you can get graphite to work on either. I’ve never had an X-ray and always wanted one, but the Evo looks really good. Just concerned about parts support. seems like they have a hard time keeping up with demand

If you're going to race outdoors and indoors--I'd go with graphite / carbon! It's going to be easier to setup in the long run. Of course---I've got a friend selling an Xray ---$250 RTR--Craig Correa over on facebook.

Some people are going back to carbon on black carpet. I run my Xray on carbon on carpet now and our local fast guy just changed from his aluminum Rapide Evo to his carbon Evo and is faster with it.

Hook a brother up with the rear wing mount upgrade?

Was just sitting here going through the car to prepare for this weekends state race and noticed something felt weird with the rear pod. Found out the ball had popped out of the pivot probably after a bad crash I had during the second qualifier last weekend. Never noticed after so must have run the whole main with it that way and the car was still the fastest on track and drove great. Unbelievable how good I feel this thing is. Wanna call me a fan boy go right ahead, won't get no argument outta me. Lol!

If I'm not mistaken, the Associated F6 pivot setup should work on the Roche if you grind the upper ears of the blue pivot mount. (Or buy the black Zen Racing Pivot)
I run this pivot setup on my X-ray. It is smooth and tweak-free on crashes.
