Thats correct, the lengths you see on the Hobby Pro site is the droop length.

The CRCRC cars. Still need to add a few sticker to them but they are all ready to roll.
I dont run the antenna tubes any more. I keep the wire tucked in the radio box. Ran it like that for almost a full year now without any issues.
All radios are different though.

That looks like Gene's Agosi truggy. Sure would be nice to get some news about the truck.....
Today was round one of a new point series at one of our local tracks. I'm usually a consertative type driver with a point and shoot approach to racing. WOT where I can and I go slow in the tough sections just to prevent flipping. With the biggest race of the year coming up in a month, today was time for me to drive balls out and just rip and fling my Agama all over the track. I was amazed at how much easier it was to drive this buggy like I stole it instead of pussying it around the track. First quali got a wet track and I was TQ for round 1. Second quali it was dry as bones and I lost quite a bit of my speed not really being good at rolling the throttle and keeping traction. Finished the heats sitting 2nd overall in a field of some really good drivers but I will be the first to admit it was the more the buggy than it was me. 15 minute main and the track was half wet, half dry so my driving was both good and bad at the same time. Wound up with a respectable 3rd place even with 2 ghost flameouts. This buggy continues to amaze me even after 2 years and it's time for me to take it to the next level. Boy are these fools in trouble down the road...

Hello all, this year I'm running Agama for the first time this yr coming from a Losi 2.0. Has anyone ran at tandspeedway dot com in SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA . 6-7 of us are heading down there at the end of march and If any of you Agama guys have ran down there, maybe you can suggest a starting setup for the A8 to get me going. I appreciate any info/help.

There's quite a few in here, and some great info on setup if you track back. I know a good starting point for diffs is 5,5,3 or 5,5,2 or 5,3,3. Can't go wrong there.
