Thanks JQ. I got my Spec-Q up and running this week but I had some issues with the motor mounts. If I use the forward position on the mount, my engine hits the front screws and I can't mount it (Protek LS-5). But if I use the rear position, my flywheel is too far back to fit into the chassis slot for the starter. I was able to get it working by using the RTR engine mounts, which don't have those bolt heads coming out of the top.
Do you guys have a workaround for this besides dremelling my engine? And does anybody even use the rear position?
Another problem I am having is with my starter box. I have the Kyosho Mulistarter which is a kickass box that works with almost any car. This box worked awesome with the RTR but I can't for the life of me get it to work with the BE. The only position I can get the flywheel to match the starter wheel is a position in which I can't mount the 4th peg to hold the car on. So I can get the car to start no problemo, but I have to sort of 'hold' it in that position, as the 4th peg isn't there to hold it. I'm contemplating drilling my own hole in the box so I can mount the 4th peg, but idk. Is there a more suitable starter box for this car?

I had the same happening with Nova based engines
if you turn the top mounts around you get 2mm extra space for the engine tabs

I know you dont want to grind the engine block( i did and its really no big deal) but thats the only way to mount the engine all the way forward with NOVA engines.

You shouldn't be putting a NOVA based engine in there anyway!

hey guys I took my new Black Edition to the track last night. compared to my RTR kit this thing is night and day. I was just running the stock Spec-Q setup to see what it was like. the BE handles great and is an awesome jumper. no matter what you do with the throttle the car wants to land flat
I did manage to break a front upper shock bolt after casing a jump pretty hard. I couldn't fix it at the track because it stripped the end of the shock mount pretty bad unfortunately
does anybody know what the stock setup for the Spec-Q is? regarding shock oils and diff oils. it seems pretty solid, I just might need to lighten up the front diff oil to get some more steering entering the corners
