Exactly. That is what I have been trying to explain in two different threads about why Dario was in and Stamler wasn't. That list people keep posting is deceptive because Stamler is higher than Dario but the bottom line is, Dario was 4th, Stamler 7th. In this format, a 7th place finish will NEVER, EVER, EVER make the main.

I saw the springs, they may be a personal touch (example all my springs are silver with no powder coating). But the aluminum shocks can help sometimes in long finals with the 2 orings for consistent shocks. I wonder if xray will answer back with a revised internal drivetrain(center shaft bulkheads, smaller spur and pinions), wire front swaybar and top deck revisions. Either way this car looks sweet. Easier to work on and clean too .

Are you guys having any big races between now and the end of nitro season?

He was using the P37. The ribs right behind the C-post from the pics on RedRC give it away.
