Tires are still 90% of your set up.
Without the right tires you will aways struggle to get the power to the ground.
Especially with the powerful engines these days.
I'm no set up king that's for sure but i'm learning.
It sure does make a difference with a good set up but the right tires will aways make you so much faster.
I had my buggy fully dialed and changed from crime fighters to chameleons with the middle lug cut out off the 3 lug rows and i knocked 10 seconds of my best time.
My X1 cornered like it was on rails and better than crime fighters or komodos.

I think those small little setup changes do help with your driving, but tires, make a HUGE difference...
The number one thing i always check before going to a race is making sure i either have brand new tires, or tires with lots of tread, that aren't worn out.
If you have worn out tires, setup changes will do nothing to fix the way your car is acting.

Air bubbles in fuel line
Can anyone help, i am getting air bubbles in fuel line mainly after going upside down , which makes the car stutter and fart around until it clears or it stalls.
Have heard fuel filter in pressure line making a small pressure chamber can help. any ideas.

How long is your fuel line?

Tried different lengths , have a feeling its fuel getting in the pressure line, giving what they call pressure bog, going to try routing pressure line different ways, can't think of anything else.

The bubbles in your fuel line won't be caused by the length of your pressure line. But you can get a bogging effect through too short a pressure line. I run another filter on my pressure line to prevent that and it seems to work fine.

Jamin driveshafts
Does anyone have a option part or another part I can use to replace the centre diveshafts of the X1. They wear very quickly and develop lots of slop. I also find the centre diff outdrives wear a hole on the inside and makes the drivetrain sticky.
