I ran 7,7,3 all last year I had great success near the end of the year. I am going to start the year off running 10,10,7 and will probably continue to go up from there. My style is to attack the track I tried being laid back however my personality is high strung. I need to be active so laid back was a flop. If anyone can make suggestions regarding this style. How I should approach a turns entry, mid and exit, the roughs and jumps ect... I'm thick skinned so any criticisms and suggestions are always taken with a grain of salt. No worries!
Also:
1. where can I get the foam inserts for the shock mod mine look horrible?
2. Which disk are best for the brake mod.
3. Do you just grind of the pad from the calipers? Or is there some others that fit.
4. I've seen the 1 clunk tank mod on here however it did not look to clunky. Anyone no of a better mod or better tank period.
Thanks in advance for your help.

\PS. If you get to a track and nothing feels good try squaring the diffs. like 7,7,7 or 10,10,10 you will by impressed how predictable the car will become.
Hope this helps,
Scott

I ran the 2mm hubs all the way around outside last summer and loved the with good success. This winter i went to 1mm in the back and 2mm in the front and it is also good. I feel its an exelent tunning option for rough tracks and when the traction is high and it seems like your car is catching edges everywhere.

Shinbadd12, Thanks for the advise I will try those diffs for sure. Funny i was trying to cut the ofna foams out got frustrated. Could not think of away to get a perfect round circle. Will try your method with the socket. I'm going to find out tomorrow how the 10,10,7 feels Sunday is our club race here.

Another way that works well is to use a dremel with a sanding drum. Pull the sanding drum half way off the rubber part and then turn it on and it cuts down through the foam nice and clean!

Go to the K&S metals display at your local hobby shop; find a diameter of brass tubing that fits your application; grind a knife edge on the end of the tube (you have a bench grinder?); twist the tube into the foam to cut out.

Are there any modifications that need done to the shock cap when using the foam onto of the bladder?

Remember there is alot of different opinions out there and this is just mine and what i have found to work for me and others that i race with locally.
Hope this helps,

shock caps
Scott hooked me up last year sometime with the little tire foam trick. It definetly keeps the shock bladders from collasping. I have gone weeks, months with out opening my shocks and they still looked and felt good.
What up Shinn and Johnny T?
