Hi Mark/Sow/D,
Thanks. The car drives great. Quite amazing! I'll prob leave my engine mount as is since it's not a problem. Itching to try its second run this weekend and playing with newer settings. Think if I use my JP S5, it may handle even better.
Shorter wheel base is a good idea! Let me start to try playing with the DRS, Roll centres front/rear...

What you plan to do is good. Too often people don't spend enough time (me included, D excluded) working on the intricacies of the car itself and practise!

Live and learn ! I see that the wings are mounted too high too. I think to be legal , you need to trim the wing so that it does not go beyond the rooftop.

I think he's stopped doing RC anyway.
New way of refuelling with a fuel bottle or with a gun is to do it in mid air ! Pick car up with the cable tie connected to the fuel cap and pump the fuel in.

Sorry, I still have not tried the Alfa yet. Only Mazdas for me at the moment. Come to think ot it, I still have the Alfa cut up and not painted ! I think some time back Crashed saw it in the back of the car boot and said WTF when he saw the mess and the stack of old bodyshells it was housing !

Not steering linkage Onkel Sow. A newer servo saver. And yes, when I had a look at it, I think they had the last one because when I refreshed the web page and it was out of stock !

Not a bad idea. One is still in pieces from way back when I was in KL and the other badly needs rebuilding.

[i]Onkel Sow, where on earth did you get orange clutch shoes? From Mordor? [/B]
[i]Did you get the bronze coloured ones or the black ones? [/B]
[i]What are their teeth numbers on the belts? Do they fit? [/B]
[i]Where are you getting yours? Someone here at the local track is testing a self made one. One is testing a oneway with rear solid and the other is testing solid front and rear. I'll post pics when I have the time. This friend of mine gave me to have a look at a "pre-production" one that was heavy. He's using a revised one that he made himself which is lighter. He said that acceleration in the straights line is very good. Better than the rear ball diff. But it only works on very few tracks. The setup tends to like stiffer rear and front sway bars. [/B]
Yes, the set-up sounds about right. Actually Mark Green prefers NOT to use them unless the track is smooth. The contant bounce on tracks which are not smooth puts too much strain on the drive train.
I've posted a pic of it in my gallery at 3hobby.com.

I believe this is the one that gives a different Ackerman steering that was talked about.
