Do you have his setup? Can't find it on teamxray and he hasn't replied on his facebook page. Did you participate in that race, Mcion?

Yea i did, very loose track and blown out in some spots, looks like he was running 5/4/5 in diffs, kyosho blue front, ae silver rear. I have to look at my car to see shock positions but i think 3rd hole front tower outside hole on aarm, 2nd hole rear tower inside hole on arm. Thats all i can remember off top, but he said he would post it so i didnt worry too much.

I think he only went that low cuz there was little traction and it was hard to put power to the ground. He prob runs 5 mid when traction is good.

I leaned my shocks, felt good on my ebuggy, but not so much on my nitro. The track was very low traction, and the Race Hosts were watering the track between rounds so I feel like I was doing a lot of setup chasing, instead of sticking to 1 thing. Even though I won my class and had the fastest qualifying round, I still wanted to test without my shocks being leaned didn't get a chance to since I wasn't ready for the amain practice. If I could take it back, there would be some things I would have done differently so I dont really have a good setup.

Anyone running the new brake pads? I just got a set for my buggy and truggy but wondering if its worth pulling the new kit ones right away. The little I've got to run them, the kit ones seemed to be fine but didn't run more than 15min at a time. Thanks.

I ran the original pads the whole season, no problems. I`ve replaced them for HoBao yellow pads now, but mostly out of curiosity. Wont be able to test them before spring though...

I'm sure the body might work well, but this thing has got to be the ugliest body ever designed!!

Is there some kind of messed rule against concave winshield curves in ROAR/IFMAR or something.

Take a JC Finisher body. Curve the front windshield in like a wing ramp. There's your front downforce. Do the sidepods as well.

The Birdie lools retared and still probally deosn't make jack for downforce.
